They don't frighten me. In fact, I have to tell you that I am more leary of small dogs than big ones. I've been bitten by a Pekingnese more than once (not badly), and I tend to stand back, and probably show my fear too much!

The bigger, the better!!! I met my first Bernese Mountain Dog in October, and he was huge, but so sweet and friendly, and fit right in with the "sea of Gold" that was all around him!!!

I think the Irish Wolfhound that you posted is absolutley wonderful!!!!

Big Dogs Rule!!!!! At least at this house!!
