[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 592968, member: 84"] Nichole and I have both remarked his head has sort of a pit-ish shape.......except it's already the size of most pitbulls I've seen.......and he is almost there body wise too. Like I said, depends on how you look at him. He is much stockier than the pics seem to show. He already weighs in about 55 lbs people and he's 4 months old. lol I've not seen a bernese mountain dog up close and personal. Just photos....and not familiar enough with that breed to comment either way. (I'm trying to think of large breeds here) It's not so easy to get him to hold still for a good photo as he wants lovies from whomever he is near, be it animal or a person. I've talked with easy child about the training and emphasized since she knows he will be large regardless (labs aren't small either by a long shot) she will need to really work on his training. From our walks he is already catching on to Wait and Go. easy child has decided to also use the Wait command as a Stay command as I do with Maggie. (seems otherwise they both look at us like we're stupid) Her biggest challenge is going to be the same one I had when my kids were still at home and I was training a dog; getting everyone to use the same commands consistently. It will help that her boys have helped me to some degree train Maggie........as they will Rufus. (I can't always be the one giving them commands) Maybe as he grows it will be easier to tell?
