Yes definitely! >About the Groenendaeler: the photo was taken at about 500m from >Ch?teau Groenedael, where this beautiful dog was 'invented'. >Philippe My family and me were having long discussions about what new dog we want to buy. The Groenendael was evaluated, too, but the final choice went to a smaller dog. We ordered a "Lagotto Romagnolo" from a breeder. That's an italian truffle dog, or better said, THE truffle dog there is. Looks a bit like a poodle. That will give me a lot of walks, photographs, and hopefully truffles! We've had an old, big and heavy Sarplaninac (Yugoslavian shepherd dog) which I had bought over there before the war. But this breed is way too strong and strong minded to let go out with children alone. Though it was a female dog, she did not miss any occasion to show who is the boss, and dominated every other dog if he did not surrender immediately. Nothing special about a dog that is breeded to guard sheeps from wolves, but not easy to handle in urban environments. Didier
