I had both. Judd was a great dog but was also a great pet to me. We loved each other and he almost never left my side--especially when he got older--he was a somber dog but very loving. ON THE OTHER HAND--we had a Judd grandson with one testicle that was just a riot--pulled bras and jocks off the clothes line and ran around the yard with them like a trophy! This dog was so sound and so funny--God love ya Patrick--we sure did! He lived with us forever.
