I have a white German shepard. I can never understand how one dog can be so smart and such a bonehead at the same time.

My purebred German that died last summer was the closest thing I've ever known or seen to the "perfect dog". My younger one is a Hurricane Katrina rescue, so I know nothing of his providence, but suspect he's got as much (if not more) Tervuren blood as he does shepherd. True to his New Orleans roots, he's got the kind of intelligence that tends to get him in trouble.

My brother had one also. lol
My brother got him to be protection for his wife and child when he was in the field or deployed. They had him for a while when one night my brother came in from the field and realized the dog was outback in the yard for his nightly potty break. My brother thought it was his chance to test the dog so he crawled along the fence and popped up to surprise the dog saying BOO! My brother was still in camouflage from the field. Big Surprise! He scared the dog so badly it went running; yelping and whining for the door.
So much for guard dog, he was a big overgrown baby. Sadly he died of cancer at age 11, he was loved and is still missed.
