Personality? Rowdy is the alpha male and only male of the three dogs I have. I think he thinks he rules the roost but as big as he is, he is nothing more than a big baby. He is so cute and the personality of a goofball. When they were just puppies, Rowdy was considered the runt, but he was the biggest…Rowdy has never really acted like a boy dog and still doesn’t lift his leg to go potty. He only had girls to watch, so he squats like a girl. He runs like a deer, both legs leaving the ground together. He would like to think the furniture is his bed. He is will definitely steal your heart.
List good traits : Rowdy has the natural intimidating look of the breed and the size of a stocky Great Dane so even though he is not aggressive by nature, he gives off the impression that he is a good guard dog and protector. He is very loveable and will provide you with good companionship. He listens well and would do very well with more attention and training. He aims to please.
