Leonbergers

This is the second kind of dog I'd like to have. I came across this breed, for the first time, one night when I was leaving the law school at 9. I was tired, even a little bit cranky, but my irritableness was swept away as I crossed the parking lot and saw these two ENORMOUS dogs! I picked up my pace, and as I approached, the dogs kept on turning back to look at me - sufficient invitation from my point of view! The owner, Jim, was kind enough to stop for me, and introduced me to Cass and May, who were just so enthusiastic to come greet me. Cass, in particular, kept on wanting to jump up on me with his paws on my shoulder. May, being the lady, was a bit more reserved, but very welcoming regardless. Having my (empty) lunch box with me may have had something to do with it, but they were the sweetest and friendliest canines. A bit of research afterwards told me that leos are known to be friendly and very good with people (including kids) in general.

Note to G: I wonder if my leo(s) will get along with your golden. Tsu might get a little bit freaked out, but I'll make sure my dogs behave. :-) But first, you have to go get Tsu.

We have to go to a dog show together.
