Today we look at dogs! But not just any cute dogs or sweet puppies- today I'm featuring lots of dogs that I definitely do fine cute and that most people would probably call huge. The breeds of dogs shown in the pictures are all large and giant dogs, and as you'll notice, a good number of them are livestock guardians and/or molossers of some type.
Large dog breeds in general tend to be even tempered and calm temprement wise, and can make wonderful family pets (and excellent makeshift sofas, for the smaller kids). However, because of their large size, many of them are prone to genetic conditions such as hip dysplasia, which can lead to pain and athristis. They also generally have shorter lifespans compared to their smaller counterparts, and often only live on average for about 7-9 years or so.
I hope that you find the dogs today as interesting as I do! I've included a short summary about whichever breed is pictured under the photograph for more information. Do feel free to correct me if I've got anything wrong.
It's a large dog and tiny spider day!
