Out of curiosity, do you live in a warm climate?
I would love to own a real dog like that but given the hot summers we get here and the piss-weak 'winters' we get I think it's cruel to own a dog like that in this country.
During summer it would be stiffled 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Unless you have a pool and 24 hour air-con it would just be torture.
Eh, depends on the year...
Oregon can get hot (last summer we hit 107), but for the most part it's pretty chilled here.
We considered the summer issues with it, and figured our AC with maybe a couple fans would do him fine.
Your dog is beautiful!
I agree.
