coat, floppy ears, somewhere in middle of GD and Cav sized (60 pounders?).
I suspect they will be biggish pups since they'll be developing inside a
roomy GD womb. I also think that their "awwwww" time will be short - the
period that they are small, cute, marketable and people gush over them.
Smooth coated pups of biggish-large breeds are pretty cute until about 8
weeks but after that they get long and stringy. Well I think pups are cute
even when they are lanky and goofy looking but they've definitely lost the
"awwwww how adorable!" factor.
