He is the offspring of a St. Bernard mother and (large) black Lab father. He was raised in a loving family home and when we got him at 13 weeks (and 19 kg) he was already house trained and very well behaved.
He is now 72 cm at the shoulders and just under 70 kg ..or as some passer by put it "a fair lump of a dog".
Character-wise he's just perfect. Calm, considered, friendly to everyone and everything, quiet and not one bit aggressive or dominating...be that towards people or other dogs.
Also a perfect watchdog ...in that he is quiet unless there is a real reason to bark at something. When he does bark, it's worth checking out. (and on the very rare occasion that somebody unwanted is at the door, his big, barking head at the window does the job perfectly).
He's no work at all. His exercise needs are very moderate, he gets brushed about twice a year when he's changing coats and never needed a bath or grooming. (He swims in the sea, rolls in the sand, dries himself off in the grass - shiny coat restored).
He eats five cups of kibble a day (over two feeds) and whatever treats he can convince us to give him inbetween.
He's also a looker and gets positive comments wherever we go (despite his slightly intimidating size)
This is him at his 7th birthday recently:

Who is your Carlsberg pet? (we might get enough here for a pet subforum?)
