Many of you may be surprised to know that Clark is our first family "pet". Clark Finnegan Grisbear is an Old English Sheepdog. Living on the ranch we have at times had over 25 dogs. Even though we have so many dogs, they don't live at our house. All of our dogs are herding or guard dogs. Even though they are good with my kids, they aren't really people friendly. So for Christmas Lane and I decided to get a dog for the family. Clark (aka Clunk) is very funny and is growing so fast!! His paws are huge! We are used to big dogs. Our Ak Bash guard dogs are very large. (We actually buy our dog food by the pallet.) Then throw in the Border Collies. We are definetly dog lovers.
