Thanks Joe. When I was a young I had friends with a Great Dane. Honey, - called that from the color of his coat and he was as gentle as a baby. I dislike Pit Bulls but the responsibility lies with the owners. We can’t let them start killing off certain breeds, it’s just a means of control.
I raised 4 children using the old Storkline baby cribs, folding walkers, etc, without any trouble. But I guess a few children had mishaps and now the government controls how they are made. The big NANNY in DC!
The nose is in the door, we need to grab it by the tail.

Several good hunting hounds would be a start -
I believe the “Plott” hound is the top bear-hunting dog (corrections welcomed!!!) A mountaintop family developed them - and somehow the bloodline was spread
We once had a large purebred Collie (not the Border Collie) - she was as tough with strangers (and garbage men) as our (later) hunting hound was
I recall my brother’s close friend walked onto our front lawn one dark night - “Heather” was inches from his throat when we called her off

It’s so good to “see” you! I hope all is well with you.
