Colt, what can I say? This dog has always taken my breath away as well as stolen my heart. I refer to Colt as my "extra fancy" boy. This dog stops traffic, literally... He is our vacation-going / camping dog and anywhere we take him he is sure to draw a crowd. Colt is a big dog, 19 inches at the shoulder, he has an outstanding shoulder assembly which allows him a very proud carriage and a long graceful neck. Top all that off with an enormous coat and he is just plain impressive. Colt is an all around great dog. He is well mannered anywhere. Colt can deal with crowds of people wanting to pet and hug him without a single worry yet he has demonstrated himself to be appropriately protective of his human family. Colt has been put to harness to skijor with and my kids enjoy him pulling them in a sled in the winter time.
