cellioWhen I was a kid I thought poodles were by definition small, as my world contained no non-miniature poodles. I saw a standard poodle for the first time at the age of 14, and my reaction was "wow, it's like a poodle but big".
There is a dog in the office today, to which my reaction was "wow, it's one of those dust-mop dogs, but big". (Ok, not entirely, as you usually can't see the legs on the dust-mop dogs. But otherwise...)
Ok, now I've met my first komondor. This one is very friendly. My father likes large dogs (has a golden retriever now, previously had an Irish setter); I wonder if he's heard of these. I wonder if my mother would ever forgive me if I told him. :-)

But I'm a "pet" person, not a "show" person; I want to actually interact with the animals, or be in a zoo where it's obvious I'm not supposed to. (And even so, I think petting zoos are nifty, and my tolerance for conventional zoos is limited.)
