Our Pyrenees/Anatolian on the other hand wants to be all over you, all of the time. I'd prefer a happy medium.
@Littlegoo : With my Yorkies years ago Guuci's spot was my lap, Armani was on the left side of me & judy on the right . Funny how these positions never changed .Somehow it got decided & that's how it was .But what I think happened I got Gucci 1 yr before I got Aramni ,so every time I sat he jumped up in my lap .Then 1 yr later with Armani I MIGHT have encouraged him to be on the left side of me because in the mornings I hold a cup of coffee in my right hand .When I got Judy it was simple , you want to be near me ? the right side is yours . How ever it got decided makes no difference I was happy to have them . But I have had no dogs since them because I'm afraid of falling . So this person may have made that decision for exactly that reason . Had to have been a good guy because he didn't dump the dog .
