Well here is 12 year old Max on 'mail person' watch, lol. There's a window right above his head (side of the house) and another window directly to his right (front of house), perfect 'watch spot'. It's 'funny' because if I opened the door when the mail person was there he would grab his kong (rubber toy) and be all friendly wiggling his butt for all he's worth . For a 90LB dog he sure disappears easily into that corner of the sofa. Max has intense 'ball drive' but curiuosly he's not so interested in 'live' prey, per say. He does however LUV the 'stalk'. He will fixate on something like a Pointer Dog only he lowers himself a few inches (like a cat) and slowly inches forward but only advances when his 'target' moves. Should his 'target' turn around and look at him, he freezes. He'll keep doing it until say the bird flies away. Afterwhich he never chases after it. Kind of 'game over' ...

have a great day,
