Hi Allan,

Piper is about 7 years old. She has been a great member of the family. 7 years ago, I was traveling a lot and was away from home quite a bit, and one night my kids noticed that there was a man at the front door, videoing them through the window. My wife called the police, but the man was long gone. We decided we needed a dog then to help at least be a little bit of a deterrent. We researched the breeds and chose the English Mastiff because of its reputation for protecting women and children and for how non aggressive they are- they really are gentle giants. Piper has lived up to the breed's standard and has been a great dog that is always on guard watching my wife and kids. She is getting to be an old lady, but her health is still good, she still likes to run and play.

Thanks,

Daniel

Yeah, but it is not just the guard dig thing is it? She is part of the family, right? I know I am, 

When it comes time to part company, that is when it is hard, it is heartbreaking. I hope she is with you for many a year yet Daniel, she is a lovely looking dog. Thnaks for showing us her pic. Maybe you should start a thread, "Show us your pooch," or something. Thanks again for showing us, and bringing back memories, and starting a discussion here without any conflicts.
