I never owned a large breed until I met my wife. She had a Great Dane for protection and I came to appreciate the breed for his loyalty to her. After he passed, our second one was the biggest we've ever owned. He topped out at 170 and loved to jump up and let me catch his feet. I would put them over my shoulders and we would dance. It was hilarious to watch, but unfortunately was way before smartphones and the proliferation of videos, so I don't have footage of it. The one we have now is our most human acting. He loves to sit on the sofa like a human and often watches TV with us.@EdinGa I used to hate small dogs. Having owned this one has changed my mind, still has the small dog energy, but when your with them all day you see it's just when someone new comes around. Small dog full of energy thinks it's a big dog. Big dog less energy thinks it's a human.
