Titan & Trish I appreciate your well wishes. It was my Brother In Law who told "Max" to check the door, which means see if anyone is there. My Max is very large, even for a rottie he stands over 32" tall and weighs 155# of solid muscle. Belive me if he bit this guest she would not have an arm. His disposition is beautiful. He allows my 2yr old neice to ride his back, supervised of course. My Mom had suggested if it goes to court to let the Judge met Max cause he would get drowned in kisses and it would be thrown out.
