You will have one of the only dogs out there that are bigger than mine. I just love big dogs. Mine is German Shepard and Great Dane mixed. Looks like a short haired German Shepard with a bad dye job, but I love every inch of him, and he is worth the food bill. Don't forget to have your new friend chipped. Less than a month after I had my first dog chipped, he got away from DH. I was so thankful someone told me about chipping dogs. Enjoy all the love that has just entered your life.
