Fascinating, Guice. I am a dog lover but had not heard about this breed before. Thanks for the wiki link - I especially liked their line"...this dog needs an owner that understands dog language":-)
Wuff!

Saber que ha sido parte de vuestra historia hace que esta raza sea aún más interesante. Desde luego también estoy impresionado con la tremenda vista de esa playa. Me parece tan bonito el color de estas ultimas fotos costeras. Felicidades por poder disfrutar de estos lugares tan espectaculares.

I've heard of them, but never seen one. Interesting... Would you have to rub them with moisturizer every so often, I wonder.
