I have two St.Bernards and a sheppard/hound mix and she was rescued from an abusive home.I have rescued a few dogs because someones got to stand up for them.I had another rescue dog that was sheppard/lab mix but he was a little too aggressive towrds my wife and other females and I ended up giving him to my buddy who runs a training facility for dogs and he uses him as part of his pack to train other dogs.I miss him he was a good dog just couldn't take the chance of him attacking a women.
