Although they are much smaller than your Standard, if I was a beatin’ person, the money would definately be on the Boston and not the Standard.
Seriously.
(but Dongle says not to worry. French food gives him acid reflux.;))
LMAO, great! However, any large hunting dog breed would have him like a very small portion of Boston bake beans. The best the Boston’s can hunt are mice … 
No, mice frighten Duchess.
She is the scourge of every one of our neighbor’s chickens that gets into our yard. I worry that one day she will catch one.
Mine went berserk one time when she saw some rhinos on TV…she was on two legs and barking at the television set. It was pretty funny to watch.
Oh yeah? Well my dog likes to operate my TiVo! He programs shows and plays back recorded programs and everything!*
*I have no dog.
Why shouldn’t dogs watch TV? They already seem to be pretty good at farting and scratching their butts. Though admittedly, most don’t drink beer.
