Charlie is a standard poodle/old English sheepdog, or sheepadoodle. Poodles were originally bred for hunting... sheepdogs, for herding. Charlie is a pet therapy dog who 'works' with me at the state psychiatric hospital. He's also my pet, and I've had him since he was about 10 months old (he's now almost 3 years old). He's never even barked at a person or another dog. I've never heard him growl. Heck, when patients on my unit are yelling and screaming and doing god knows what, Charlie can calm them down better and faster than anything else.
And why do I have to 'prove' my need for a 'large' dog? Most large dogs make great house dogs... they aren't as hyper as small dogs. Heck, the very best house dogs to own are retired greyhounds. I swear they don't even move when they're inside a house.
Enjoy the pics of my dog, even though you don't think I should own him just because he's 'large'.
