They look fantastic, nice staring at the camera shots and a nice bit of drool in pic. 2. I've been without a dog for the last 11 weeks after 20 years (2 different) with one. Do miss the security aspect but not the hairs. You say they are gentle giants but nobody is going to come into your house/garden uninvited. When I had my Dobermann it was amazing how many people were really scared even crossing the road to get away from him, is it the same with your two?
