My mastiff also. His words would be, “Obstacle course? Are you nuts?”
On the other hand, he knows who is frail, or frightened, and he is very kindly. He is safe with all sizes of children, knows who does and doesn’t belong in the yard, is good natured and looks very soft, until you see his muscles outlined when he sits.
Looks lazy, but is extremely fast. Goes from a dead snoring sleep to snapping a hot dog out of the air in a split second.
Excellent as a foot warmer, also.
I have loved reading every post...we are just a bunch of mush when it comes to our dogs....loved them all, thanks for the delightful thread......
