		<description>I love this post - Especially my person Laura!

It is so true that you can teach any breed anything you want!
Its true that some dogs may be more difficult, but its not becasue they aren&#039;t intellegent!  - It&#039;s like the scent hounds, they can sometimes be a little more difficult to train a great recall or obiendence, but you want to teach them how to track or find specific odours they pick it up in a flash.
Mastiffs may not pick up obendence super quick but haven&#039;t been bred for those traits, but they pick up guard work very quickly!
And lastly the Collies, they are extremely quick to teach obedience and agility to, but wouldt pick up tracking as quickly as a scenthound?

Note: These are just generalisations, I understand that each individual within each breed is different :)  I have worked with dogs from each group, I love the differences and the variety :)

Hi, lexi is back, my person Laura took over a bit there :P I love all dogs thart will play with me, I&#039;m learning to not harass the ones that don&#039;t :p

Flappy Ears,
Lexi</description>

		<description>This is great! I have 2 Chow mixes, and 2 husky mixes (one is a Husky/Rhodesian ridgeback - talk about difficult!). It bothers me that these breeds rank at the bottom of the &quot;intelligence&quot; list and called &quot;stubborn&quot; ... they are smart enough to have a mind of their own!

&quot;Difficult&quot; dogs require more patience and understanding than a dog that will willingly obey every command. In return for your investment, these dogs give something back that is way beyond the typical slave/master relationship people often have with their pets.</description>

		<description>I actually find Danes easy to train, Chelsea especially has a &#039;I just want to make you happy&#039; persona...

I get annoyed at owners with little dogs who dont train them. I put alot of work into both my girls, due to their size I want people to be at ease with them but when walking we constantly have unleashed yap yaps running at them aggressively...

Great post</description>
