@buffaloglenn....most dogs prefer to go outside to do their business & will go to the door & bark to let you know they need to go outside. Maybe it's the size of the dog , they can go over 100 pounds & sometimes size matters to a-lot of people (no pun intended). Most people think "big dog , big mouth & teeth , it's not the back side that scares people,
@landlady...I know what you mean my 3 poodles are better behaved than my grand kids & I'm not afraid to take them with me where ever I go . On the other hand my grand kids are noisey , loud, messy & always need to blow their noses , or go to the toilet . My poodles are so much nicer & easier to be around (LOL) .I prefer dogs over children any day of the week. 4951
