I am too! I love your picture! I love to see BIG dogs with children, Mine are so wonderful with our kids. The picture of Beauty at the lake was tekn just prior to the picture of her in teh water with Nic, my youngest. It looked like a pose , but was actually her watching them. I had hollered at him to get closer to shore and she was already in the water. I keep her on an 8 ft lead at Bemidji Lake because they require leads on dogs, which I wish was not so, mine are excellent off lead, but rules are rules! I can see the difference between the two breeds , although they are very closely related. OUr neighbor has Pyr's, beautiful dogs, just like mine!
