Personally, that’s the first thing I look for.
Crazy true story:
I had a Porsche 924 for sale after my first husband and I split up and a guy came to look at it.
Meanwhile, two more guys showed up and they made me nervous so I asked him to hang around.
He came in my house and three Ibizan Hounds mobbed him with kisses and they are *very* offish dogs.
This impressed me.
So...I opened another door and let the two Dobes and one Pit Bull loose on him.
They adored him, too.
We’ve been together ever since.
:)
Nice story, glad you found a dog person. With all those dogs I think that was an important find for you.
