Aloha from the Windward Side! ~ Hawaii as well...
Love your pics, hope you’ll post more. Your dogs are great! I thought about getting a dogue de bordeaux before Latte came around, great breed.
Jenn you are right the trend here really is that… little pooch... Oh well they don’t know what they're missing!
In our case people just tend to walk away quickly. Most of the time I think it’s because people here just don’t know their breeds. If someone does acknowledge Latte’ they are really curious about her breed. When I tell them she’s a Neo they have no idea what I’m talking about. They just assume she is a large dangerous dog because of her size.
Consider yourself lucky to at least be acknowledged when people ask if they bite (even though it gets real irritating). It’s the BIG misconception since they wonder why we don’t have a purse pup… like everyone else here in Hawaii!
