Hi Mellanie - glad you posted! I had sent you a pm to say welcome when I saw the new pawprint.
I'm Sandy, and we have two big galoots. Sheba is our 'little' girl - a 95 lb rottie/lab mix who is far more delicate and sophisticated than our newest baby. Anna (who we call Anna Banana) is a landseer and she's somewhere about 115 lbs now I think. We'll know more next week when we take her in for her spay! We were told she was 10 months old when we got her from the breeder (she was going to be used in their breeder program but they thought her bones weren't dense enough), but just this week the breeder sent me an email saying her birthdate was actually October 2005 - so I'm trying to sort out how old she actually is!!!
We fell in love with landseers when we adopted our first guy, Barkley, from the SPCA. Someone's inability to love the gentle giant was the best addition (ok, maybe second to my husband) to my life! Newfs wiggle their entire bodies into your heart in a way that makes it impossible for them to back out gracefully!
I hope you will love it here at BPO! Good luck with the leash training.
