I always wanted one as a kid. The downside is they have a heartbreakingly short lifespan. My neighbor has had many over the years.

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.

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.

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.
