    Lance, I'm not trying to hate on your new animal so don't call be a hater.. My neighbor has one of these things and honestly you're gonna be a slave to that monster. I'm sure they all are not the same but this thing of theirs has developed some really bad traits..

    1) It drools.. fuggin gross.
    2) It shits more than a horse
    3) They cant go anywhere without having a dog sitter come and care for the beast.
    4) It wont stop friggin barking.


    This thing is the reason I put up a 6 foot privacy fence.. The man of the house slipped up the other day and said this thing has been a huge nightmare for them and he is glad it has a short life span..

    I'm telling you all this as a friend just to say 'adding a dog to the family is a big deal and it doesn't always go as you plan...' Even in my case with a normal size pet. It's hard headed, it gets sick, it eats everything, it has moments of aggressiveness, it's destroying my brand new hardwoods by just walking on it with it claws.. It can be a real freaking pain.. Think hard about this..
