I had a beautiful AmStaff for about 10 years. He was a rescue dog. Ole Harley was a great dog if you were a person. Only problem was he didn't like other dogs.
I had to manually walk him all those years--rain or shine. But he was a very vigilant fellow, and he really loved us.
Now, we've got a really sweet 3 year old female Rottweiler. Our big male died last Christmas of cancer. She's just a doll.
