That old dog gave me the love for the breed. He was a hard dog, aggressive to everyone except our family. He would have defended us to the death (marcia) Marcia Its wonderful stories that makes a person fall in love with this breed. I find it very interesting most the dogs we started out with were "just plain old dogs". It was that ethereal "something" they possessed and made a "click" in our minds and hearts.
