DLC,
Sundance is a very special guy. I never wanted to keep a puppy out of Cassidy's first litter but Linda and I were so impressed with him as a puppy, we couldn't put him in another home. He wasn't the prettiest nor was he the dominant one, but he had a calm confidence that really impressed us. Plus, he loved to be held -- which is actually unusual for Rottie pups.

Now, almost 2 years old, Sundance is right at the top of the standard at 27 inches tall and 140 lbs. and a head the size of a basketball (we had a basketball in for one of the calendar shots so I'm not exaggerating). And his desire to cuddle during the night is very unusual. He really likes to be held and he really likes to press himself against you. He'd be perfect for those Maine Winter nights!

As he matures, we continue to be impressed with him. He's still a butthead (our nickname for him) but he's a lovable butthead .
