Have had many dogs, some I chose and others that chose me.. Lost or Drummer, a Golden Retriever a few months ago. He was 13. Still have Layla a Black Russian terrier. She is the guard dog when I'm not around. A real lover, that thinks she's a lap dog.. Most will not know these, they are the Russian Army's guard dog. She was the runt of the littler, only 95#'s. Our second is another weird one, but a great dog A Neederlandsie Kookier Hundjie.
