Agreed, we have a 90 pound bundle of love that's a Shepherd/Rott mix. She's been with us 3 years, and my son found her as a stray.
Biggest dog I've ever had, and I get a bit wary when we play rough. Smart dog, too...she hangs around me most of the time, as I'm the one that feeds her and takes her for walks. lol
She plays well with my 7YO grandson, who's used to being around larger dogs. I just have to be careful not to let it get out of hand. And I'd NEVER let her near an infant/toddler.
Good post, Night Hides Not. Informative and helpful.
