Thanks, you guys! I appreciate all the feedback. In regards to my trainer...she's great and has been very good with Bo in the past, but I don't know how much experience she has specifically with LGDs. I am hesitant to get another giant breed, though, because I would, lieterally, be outweighed by the dogs! My husband works a lot and I am the primary caregiver of the animals, so the size issue is something that I have to keep in mind (currently I'm only about 10 pounds heavier than Bo...wait until after Christmas and I might have some more size on her!). I keep going back & forth about bringing another dog into the house & sometimes I wonder why I've let our trainer be the boss of me! Perhaps it's my own inexperience with dogs (Bo's my first), as well as my anxiety about being a good Dog Mom. My husband is anxious to add to the pack, as am I, but I'm the most insecure of the two of us!!
