Oh yes, the greek names are way better, but it is funny if you want to eat in a restaurant, especially in a touristic area, and you look around you have all the greek mythology in front of you, even names you haven't heard before :)
Our previous dog had the same problem... With thunders, too. Pitbulls are so gentle, they are amazing with kids!
This guy, Markos, is a hunting dog and all these like-a-gunshot sounds don't touch him... Very (pleasantly) weird when you are used to a different situation for so many years :)
Greek mythology is fabulous, so it doesn't hurt to remember.
I thought Marcos was a Labrador, I had a very good labrador myself, he was crazy about water and swimming.
(I missed this comment, so I am really sorry for the delayed reply!)
He is mixed, I wonder how many breeds lead to this result! The vet told us that he has some Labrador, maybe 10-15%. I was sure that it would have been more because he really looked like a Labrador especially as a puppy. But he is only 20-22 kilos. Funny thing is that many people when they see him think that he is a Labrador puppy, although he is 4 years old, so he gets extra strokes!
Markos never swims in the sea and hates baths, the biggest evidence of small percentage of this breed in his blood :)
Yes, Greek mythology is fabulous, I totally agree!!! As for the names, you made me think that maybe I am a bit weird, I will check this option :)
