She was the smartest dog I've ever known. I"ve had a bunch of dogs over the years but Marbelle was incredible. She learned to spell. I'd spell the word treat and she'd know what it was. She knew over room of the house by name, could turn the lights on or off on command. It was just amazing the things she could do. I miss.

Mod List. Um WAY too many to fit on here. But the engine can handle about 800HP
My mom has a German and i wish i could train him (don't know how). his father is actually the *head* drug dog for the city police. he is a purebred German Shepard. BIG puppy. only a year old. likes to jump on you. i think i need to keep a water squirt bottle handy but he'd probably think i was trying to give him something to drink. any suggestion's?
Emily works a part time job, a full time job, and goes to college full time. She has less time for a dog than I do.
GUD LAWD THAT MUST SUCK!!!
That's awesome about Marbelle being able to do all that stuff. Prob got something to do with the German Shepard and Golden Retriever genes. Aren't those dogs suppose to be pretty intelligent?

yeah, I have two smart breeds in one with the Aussie and the Collie, unfortunatly the Collie part will need to be entertained, as I am finding out now. She is really smart at 8 weeks, she is letting us know when she needs to go out (all the time right now). She pretty much has the housetraining thing figured out. She has the occasional accident as we are running for the door, but if she has too poop she goes on the papers if we don't get her out in time.
I am looking forward to a fun smart dog. Not a stubborn cute smart dog.
you know, DT, you've prob got a point about the german shepards and cops thing.
yeah, our mutt is one of those stubborn cute smart dogs. she's smart enuff to realize what she does is wrong, but too stubborn to quit doing it—not matter how much she gets her butt beat for it.

yeah, from what the owner of the mother(the Australian Shephard)said, she hardly sheds at all for having such long hair. Hopefully those genes are prevalent and strong in my pup.
