Thanks guys. He is a GREAT dog. He has one of the most solid temperaments I have ever met. One of my greatest memories of him is when me and my husband and his family went to an antique fair and brought Slater along. We were talking to a couple with a really cute little girl, she was probably like 2 1/2 or 3 years old, really a cute and sweet little girl. Slater was on leash and we were getting something to eat. At some point we turned around to see that Slater was lying down, in a perfect sphynx down, on his chest, and little girl was sitting on his back like he was a bench eating a piece of pizza. He did not get up, he did not move, he did not snatch the pizza (my biggest fear) in fact, he did not seem to mind. She was not being bad, in her eyes, it looked like a perfectly reasonable place to sit
Slater really has a heart of gold.
