Morning! Who on earth would say Giants aren't friendly? Holy cow. I haven't noticed mine being standoffish at all - I don't handle them a lot, so they're definitely not "lap chickens" but they are certainly not unfriendly.
My breeder pen went through some wicked huge changes this year. 2012 should be a really good year, and I can't wait - I'm SO looking forward to it! Yes, I'll be selling hatching eggs. I need to hatch for myself first, and I plan to hatch only from the pullet that placed Reserve Champion American at a show this past fall, over 59 in the class. But - I will say that the pullets from that breeder are VERY VERY similar, basically carbon copies of each other! The females in the line are really, really nice. This is the 4th breeder I've gotten stock from, and these, FAR AND AWAY, are much nicer than any I've ever had, or seen. I can't take credit, other than hatching, raising, culling....but I will say they are huge, correct, and healthy birds!!
ETA - still catching up on this thread, but wanted to add that in regard to Bouvier des Flanders, I've had one, and a mix, and both were just awesome. Super smart, but level headed. Very dependable, very loyal dogs. We lost our last one less than a year ago, and I miss him so very much! I highly recommend this organization if you're interested in a rescue - they work with all breeds, but prefer to work with Bouvs: http://www.secondchancebouvrescue.com/
