Wow. Well, I had no clue. The BBS is one beautiful dog!
All my dogs have been strays or shelter mutts, but last year, we took in a mastiffy girl, and after research, I was planning for a Presa, or Cane from a breeder for our next dog. I do really like the mastiff breeds.
Nevertheless, a volunteer stint at our local pound gave me a soft spot for the Nordics. We had a girl in who was either an Alaskan Husky, or a Siberian husky (not sure which - she had an unusual red tint in her fur). I still wish we had adopted her. The only thing I don't like about the huskies/malamutes is the supposed need to always keep them on a leash. We have a large acreage outside of town that we like to hike, and it is preferable, if the dogs can just run.
Off to do more research on the berger blanc suisse...
