Hi Charlie. He is a pretty boy. I love big dogs, the bigger the better. To me anything under 50lbs is considered a little dog and I refer to those as "Kick Me" dogs. No I do not kick them, may want to, but I do not. I want a GSD one day, a big black and red saddleback long hair variety. I want a pup though. I know there are people out there who rescue adults, I prefer to raise my dogs from a pup. I feel more comfortable, especially with bigger dogs if I know how they were raised and did the foundation training myself.
