Bella is a rescue girl, very sweet, loving, affectionate..everything Heidi Mae is not, including pedigree. She also lacks Heidi's discipline. I love this sweetheart to death, but, sometimes, she scares me. She weighs almost what I do[140] is just shy by about 20 pounds, if that. She like to jump up, which could cause me serious injury, and she doesn't know how to behave off leash. Other than that, she's a "200 pound lapdog" as I lovingly call her. On her hind legs, Bella is as tall as I am, add a few inches even. She will come and sit in my lap, like a dachshund would, even those she's at least 20 times the size of most lapdog breeds. She is a mix of Saint Bernard, and American Mastiff...thank god not English, or she'd squash me XD
