[quote=Anonymous]We rescued our dog sight unseen, based on our friend's (very educated and experienced) opinion. We had a couple of issues at first with trying to contain him, but we could not ask for a better dog.  He doesn't bite, he has never had an accident in the house, he has never chewed on anything that isn't his, never got into the trashcan even though he's so tall that he could easily stick his face into the trash and eat the entire contents if he wanted. He's not a counter surfer. He doesn't even sleep on the furniture. He loves all people, but barks loud enough that he could scare off a stranger if needed. This dog is just a gentle giant, with tons of laid back personality. I mean, every time my friends complain about some crazy thing their dog did (ate their underwear, chewed up their couch), I'm reminded how very very lucky we got.

It's funny though because he's a 100 lb dog who is terrible on a leash; still leaves our property occasionally and when we're saying "hey, get back here, where do you think you're going?" just glances back at us like "later, dudes." When people come over, he never ever jumps on them, but he does shove his way through the door as they're walking into the house, in his lumbering way, practically knocking them over (no manners). He won't fetch a ball or a frisbee. He's torn into our trash out on the curb, dispersing it all over the yard once or twice. Yet I still consider us very lucky to not have to deal with a lot of other issues that come with getting a new dog.

So I guess it's all in your attitude. [/quote]
