Lins I know what you mean about people being a bit scared of the German shephard i was untill a while ago, its just about not actually knowing what they are like, we are finding people are a bit scared of hudson they don't know what he is and are put off by his size and energy! People don't realise he is still a puppy!.
Connie takes after both of us i think! She is a real character and is definatley going to grow up a dog lover!
