Sue (Sudilar) if you see this the key words are "BIG", "OLD" and "LAID-BACK" and "Good with kids, dogs, cats"! I hope you can help me!

The ideal dog would be a big scary-looking sweet-tempered dog (like a bull-mastiff or Great Dane or big German Shepherd) who wouldn't actually hurt a flea! In addition to being my constant companion, the dog would travel with me when I go on assignments, where I'm often alone and would feel more comfortable with a scary-looking dog.

I'm not the sort of perseon who could actually handle a young, strong-willed dog. That's why I want an older one who has mellowed out a little.

I hope I'm not being too picky or asking too much - but I know if I get the word out to enough people I'll find the perfect dog!
