More: He is a great dog. Hs is affectionate , and smart taking after both breeds. He is a protector when needed and a cuddly bear all the time .Loves the snow and the cold weather, He will stay out till he is completely covered in snow. My husband and I have had several dogs in our past, Labs, greyhounds, golden retrievers and mutts . We loved all our dogs (and cats) But since we are in our late 60's he will most likely be the last dog we will own. We love growing older with him.
