I always wanted one as a kid. The downside is they have a heartbreakingly short lifespan. My neighbor has had many over the years.
Isnt it the larger the dog the shorter the lifespan?
Yeah, it seems that way.
Which is a shame, because the larger dogs seem to be the more gentle ones.
Compared to the energetic ankle biters.
Yes, I admit I have a big dog bias.
I live big dogs too. But for our lifestyle now from me and my family, we live in a not so big apartment in Switzerland, so big dog would not be so great. Plus it's cold half the year and going outside for his necessities would be a bummer. Must admit I'm also a bit lazy not going to lie.
A big dog isnt for everyone.
May want to think of getting a cat instead.
Walking my two dogs is about all the exercise I get.
Would actually be my only exercise also if I took mine outside daily 🤣🤣🤣
Its all based on your interactions when you were younger.
Some people are deathly afraid of bigger dogs.
I think you're right. I played with the neighbor's gigantic St Bernard when I was very young. She was a sweet animal.
I remember playing with big dogs when l was younger, too.
I think that is where l got my appreciation for them.
St. Bernard is another gentle giant one 😆
True that's why I chose a smaller dog. So I suffer lesser times when they depart
There are no guarantees, just percentages. My 90 pound American Bulldog who lost a leg to bone cancer made it to 13 years old, while my little Norfolk Terrier died at 11.
We never truly know then do we. But on average them little guys ate a bit more resilient
Siggy I was next to one last summer in Portugal. They are so clumsy but adorable. Lots of drool but the sweetest things. Truly gentle giants. Beautiful dog
