Dog loves his mommy! - German Shorthaired Pointer kissing/licking and being a lap dog!

The Estrela Mountain Dog breed started as a herd-guarding dog in Portugal. Today, this breed is the companion dog of the Portuguese police force.

These large, agile dogs make excellent guard dogs because they are incredibly loyal to their masters and wary of strangers. Proper socialization in their early days is crucial; without it, you will have a huge dog who could become aggressive to those outside his family.

These dogs are a calm, watchful breed that is wonderful with children. So, their loyalty makes them excellent family pets.
