My husband is overseas as most of you know, and he has a dog over there that they believe is a CO. I have always liked the breed, and thought that perhaps in the future we may be in a situation to own one. If it ever does happen it will be WAY in the future. Like 10-20 years. He is now very interested in them though, and has talked about importing this dog (which would cost an arm and a leg) when he comes home.
SO, I would like to know opinions on them or if anyone has any experience. I mean any at all. They are a very large breed and have the potential to really hurt someone if not properly raised and it is not a breed that I would take on lightly. I just want to hear from some people who may have more experience than me. (I met ONE)
How are they with smaller animals/children? Do they tend to be DA? Are they good with strangers if socialized? What tests would you want to see a breeder of CO doing, and what would you look for their breeding stock to be proven in? You know, the normal questions.
I read an older thread but it didn't say much...
