Thanks! They are at a mad age aren't they? I didn't realise how cheeky they can be in their teens but I wouldn't change him for the world.

Daisy is sooo cute there is a dog at our training class who looks a lot like her but not sure if she is a cockerpoo too. They are so adorable though!

Thank you. Bear gets some very funny reactions from people as well as the usual "I bet he takes some feeding", "have you got a saddle for it" sort of stuff too. Most people react well to him and children (mostly) just want to hug him because he is so big. He is well over the breed standard size at 34in at the withers and a head height when on all fours of 42in.

Although Bear loves other dogs most of them are a little wary of him and small dogs tend to snap at him; Bear never reacts.
Strong willed and perhaps usually dominant breeds like Rottweilers and German Shepherds don't seem to like the fact that they are small by comparison and a couple of those have had a go at Bear. He didn't fight back, just sat down and looked a bit unhappy for a while until he'd had a biscuit and a big hug

He is completely devoid of aggression and possibly the worst guard dog in the world.

He sounds truly amazing! Lucky you having a laid back dog like that! I suppose the size makes him enough of a guard dog without him having to do anything!
