Not preachy at all...in fact,I wish all potential dog owners researched the breeds they are interested in.I LOVE Great Danes,but we don't have enough room in our house,lol.It's doubtful that we'll ever have the room...at least according to my husband,so I can only admire them.
We have 2 boxers,and my husband thinks that they are big enough
Do you have any pics?
