I have had Max since birth. He has just grown and grown and will continue to grow for a long time yet. He has a heart of gold, likes to play, fight yet always holds back at being really painfull. He knows the Female of the house is his master and the Male of the house is a two legged toy. He makes no noise unless someone walks up the garden path, then a very deep bark comes from him. His tail wags at anyone he meets, but he will always come and sit in front of his mistress if someone comes near he is unsure of.
