My dad has a Maxx now, Hoss before that. When he saw em' he said "Come here little Hoss," and that was that. Lets just say ol' Hoss dog was the alpha male type and got ol' yeller'd. When I found out what was going down I desperately tried to reach pop in ND but it was already to late. Tragic. I must say that Maxx is by far the most good tempered dog I have encountered for a good bit. Little trouble figuring out where the ducks come from but he is finally catching on. Both where labs Hoss brown, and Maxx black. I reccomend Hoss, like the motion used to turn a monster from cover, or to refer to said monster after getting an unadulterated view of her magnificent girth.
