Love 'em.
Every one I had thought he was a Pit Bull.
Nothing I did changed their pugnacious attitude.
Never toward a human, but God help the snake, frog, squirrel, bird, caterpillar, rat, mouse or cat that came within 20 feet of them.
Never a problem around children, other than their exuberance, tending to knock toddlers over with their sheer energy.
A friend has one that is now 18 years old.
Still tries to chase the rats in the seed house...and still the alpha male of three other JR and two big Alsatians (one at 115 lbs) that could rip him to pieces, but have never even growled...simply submitted and moved away.
Amazing little mutts.
I can’t imagine having another type of dog now. They’re a big dog in a small package.
