I don't have a dog or cat,but I do have a turtle that goes by the name "Leonard".Now I admit that Leonard is not much of a conversationalist,but he's a damn fine listener.
It kind of looks like a St. Bernard to me as I've seen more of those. I just assumed that Hooch was a St. Bernard. They seem somewhat similar so I think that's why people mistake the two that aren't very familiar with those breeds.
Well, St. Bernard is a Mastiff as well, so they share some common traits of the breed with the other Mastiffs (Like the size). But if you are Dog person, you will never mistake a St. Bernard with an English Mastiff and vice versa. St. Bernard - English Mastiff -
An easy way to tell the difference is St. Bernards generally carry small barrels of brandy around their necks. Mastiffs do not.
Oh I see, it's mainly in the coloring and length of the hair. I thought maybe there was a coloring difference, but I didn't know about the hair length difference. I'm a dog person, just not one that knows certain breeds. So I guess I'm not an actual "Dog Person," but I'm all about dogs rather than cats and have 3 dogs, a chocolate lab, a yellow lab, and a half blue heeler and half timberwolf (not aggressive and very intelligent). I'm wanting to get a short haired German Sheppard as they're my favorite; just never had one.
There is nothing like an 'actual' dog person.. It's just a dog person interested in specific breeds.. For example I'm fond of large breed dogs so I know most of them, but if you talk about small breeds I'd have no clue for the most parts..
