I cant really add anything else. Other than, dont be ruled by your heart, go with your head. If you feel that you BOTH are ready to take on such a big commitment, then the hard work you put in will be worth every minute of the joy you will get out. Pups are worse than toddlers most of the time, and ...

My last pup had a heart murmer, and he was about a 3/4 and he did fine.

A friend of mine has a dog with a 5/6 and hers is fine.

The best thing to do is regular excersize to build up the heart.
So make sure he does plenty of excersize, but build him up slowly.

Hope this helps

The thing is with a dog with rage, you can never train it out of them. They are so volotile and you can never judge when they are going to have an episode because they will just fly. The day we had to have poor Monty PTS he had been awake for 3 hours and in that space of time he had attacked my othe...

Well having had a dog that had to be PTS due to SOA, I can fully say that true aggression is very rare, but yes it does exist. Living day to day with a dog that has real mental problems is very very difficult, and very very draining, not only for the owners but also other animal members of the famil...
