He is four years old and predated the doll craze by .5 year. His precursor in this house was a white German Shepard named Prince who we rescued from an abusive situation down the street. That's how we got into German Shepards not through an obsession with all things German. Elmo just a minute ago place a large soggy pull toy rope on my keyboard as I type. I had to engage in this with him for a minute to finish the sentence. By far the best dog I've every had despite wanting to dominate every situation every human every dog every object all the time. I thought about naming him something less "cute" as he is not cute but dramatically good looking, handsome. I can't take him for a walk with out people pulling over in the cars to complement me or at last winking through their windshields. The depth of his doggy intellect is impressive. I grew up in my family with Springer Spaniels. Great dogs but in terms of intellect a sad comparison. Of course the only reason I said any of this in the first place is to indicate how he guards the Hasselblads with equal diligence that he guards the Leica's. I think that's quite magnanimous of him!
