Could be a goldendoodle - a golden retriever/standard poodle cross perhaps??? They can be pretty big. Meet one often on my walks with my much smaller dogs!

I love big dogs! Usually they're so friendly and kind, and you can roughhouse with them a bit without hurting them. And they love to be cuddled!

It's a quirk of nature I think, everyone (most mammals) has blue eyes which change colour as melanin is produced by the body. Some don't produce a lot so eyes stay blue, others produce a lot and get dark brown

We had a Newfie when my son was a baby. Her name was "Beast" because she SO wasn't. A complete "dog rug". She loved nothing more than to engulf her humans. She was about 28" at the shoulder & around 155 lbs, but when she was six we had to put her down because of hip dysplasia.

Here's My Brother's Dog, Moose The Pyrenees, On The Day That I Brought Him Home And Then A Year Later. I'm 6'4" For Scale
Jennifer Erdossy 6 years ago
I am not a dog person. I especially don't care for big dogs. I was traumatized as a child, and it is what it is. I've gotten comfortable around well-behaved small dogs. Great Pyrenees are the exception. They are the sweetest giant fluffy dogs you will ever meet. I can almost feel like a child again when I see them. (Alcohol also helps; anxiety ain't playing!)
Jonny Chevalier 6 years ago
that is not the same dog in the second picture or a Pyrenees. The face marking are all gone. I suggest it's a mix, possibly sheep dog..

agree, clipping the ears is used for dog fighting! As a sweet puppy you can see their ears flopped! he/she would be happier looking if it still had its original bred ears! owners ; just like we come out naked some with brains some without, everything is perfect AS IS, dont torture your pets. love the name of this doggy.

sh - training! Reward based training that, as Ashley Kellers so beautifully puts it, bonds human and animal. That is the way to keep a huge dog under control. If people aren't prepared to train their dog properly they shouldn't get one that's too big for them to handle when the dog decides to start pulling. Lazy dog ownership.

I find those with 10+ years very emotional, just to think how much time they've spent together, how the dogs see with loving eyes and trust their family, how much love you can see in the people, and I imagine how painful it will be when the day they have to part ways comes.
