Merlins Mum. We have also had three GSD's but my favourites have always been my labs.(it's ok Elsa is snoring, wouldn't want to upset her!!) Funny thing that I have loved our big dogs yet I am terrified of any dogs owned by other people regardless of size or breed. Took me six years to go in to John's house but when invited for Christmas dinner after Charlie died I made friends with her. She is lovely.
