My German Shepherd lived 17 years and 10 months. He was a very large alpha male who thought he was human. He usually knew what you were going to command before the word came out of your mouth. Great with kids of all ages and was very protective of family or anyone with any of us. He was a great judge of character too, could sense a jerk in heartbeat.

He hunted and beheaded skunks and dropped their heads a few feet from back door of farm house. Never figured out why he dropped heads at door, or how he never got sprayed.

Great Danes may be dumbest dogs. Had a friend who breed Great Danes on his horse ranch. They may be the dumbest creature on earth, the only thing they seem to have mastered is eating, boy O boy they can eat.

Frank sounds a lot like Dagny and Jake before her. It's hard to go wrong with a Corgi.

The smartest dogs I have known have all been at least part Heeler or Aussie- the best and smartest dog I ever had was 1/2 basset, 1/4 heeler, and 1/4 catahoula leopard. The Frumious Bandersnatch (Bander). She was simply amazing. Lived a long live, and died in 2004- we miss her and talk about her to this day.

Thank you.

Every one who has seen the Terra dog has done nothing but compliment her.

The vet and techs say she is one of the best behaved dogs they care for.

I had a boxer as a kid. Beautiful good natured dog but nothing in his skull but sand.

The greatest injustice in life is the short lifespan of most dogs.

I had an empty oatmeal box. I put a bunch of treats in it and set it on the floor. My AmStaff looked at it then carried it to his bed. He set it down then pushed against the bolster so it flipped over and the treats came out. All this the first time I’d ever showed him that set up

If Goldens are not listed in the first 3, I’m not clicking on the list. ;^)

You might also consider Australian Shepherds. They are also very smart and can be less hyper than the Border Collies. Mine spend most of their time in the house and are well behaved even when left alone for hours. That is something you work up to gradually. I think it is important to have a pair to keep each other company when their people are gone. Leaving a dog alone in the house without human or canine companionship is inviting trouble.

It took me two years to house train those idiots and even then, they still sneak a dump on the carpet at least once a week.

I'll never understand what goes through their little minds...we have had Rotties for almost 40-years and they have all been raised the same and every one is unique. They are very smart and I think they conspire to make their owners crazy.

We had a Rottie that was addicted to TV and was the same way as your Corgi. We could not watch Nature unless it was about bugs or volcanoes. Our girl recognized the lead-in music to Frasier and would head for the TV when it came on so she could watch Eddie. She would go nutzo when Eddie was on. She also when nuts when a rodeo was on, especially the calf roping event.

They really are wonderful friends. We have had Rotties for almost 40 years.
