Oh, Joy! ---Puppies!

This morning, my wife's service dog blessed us with eight (Count 'em - Eight!) brand new fuzzy little puppies! They are a cross of Austrian Shepard, Great Pyrenees and Akabash. The mother is 84 pounds and the father weighs in at 120. These will not grow up to be small dogs!

These dogs were bred to protect herds of goats and sheep from predators. They are smart, curious, adventuresome and extremely strong. They prefer to be outdoors, except in extreme heat.
