Thanks Kate,.....even my Dalmatian Max drooled when he wanted "pancakes" or "pizza"! lol....but I knew when I was researching dog breeds I had read about "dry mouth" St. Bernards which I was surprised because my cousins raised SB's, and hers were all wet mouths.

No its my turn, been fighting off a big pain flare all week. Weather changes always do me in, and we are having rain and thunderstorms. I'll write soon. :-)

Hugs, Jackie

I am still looking for a dog which I can train for mobility assistance. I have been looking since last August/September. I have seen so many dogs. The ones that I've met which have been listed on Petfinder as large dogs are more like medium-large, if that is a category. Of course, If I were 3 or 4 inches shorter, those medium-large dogs would probably be just right. On Sunday, I got to meet a dog named Lola. She's in foster care. Her foster mom said that they think she is a Mastiff/pit bull mix. She was a really nice dog, just not tall enough. One of the group members in my service dog group suggested that a Great Dane might be a better choice for me. I did find a Great Dane puppy by first looking at the akc.org web site. He was a gorgeous puppy named Trooper. If you go to

this page: http://www.exquisitedanes.com/h%20arl%20litters.htmYou can see his picture.Notice that the breeder offers him with limited registration for $600 and for full registration, $1200. I made an offer to her that I could pay her $200 then $60/month until the balance was paid. She declined my offer, and countered with a 4 year old female who has been retired from breeding and has already been spayed, for $200. If you go to the picture of the puppy, then click on the link called Females, she will be the first female, named Sadie The breeder breeds for longevity and says that the average life expectancy of her dogs is 9-13 years. Even so, 4 years is kind of old if it takes 18 months to train her to do the work I need, I'm just not sure if she would be able to work much longer.Donna in
