| Description |
| A
calm pet that enjoys and needs human companionship.
Relative to its size, it's the heaviest boned dog of any
breed. Its deep, rolling bark can be amusing. This is a
serene and well-behaved dog, but if it's spoiled it can
become stubborn. Its gentleness makes it great with
children. |
