Dog breed suggestions

[VaqueroTD]

I saw a meme a while back that said "My dog pooped the floor while I was at work and then Roomba decided to ruin my life".

Saw that too. Roomba definitely doesn't take crap and keeps mowing. It's the cords that give me problems. Any power, ethernet, phone charger, blind cords, whatever, sucks those babies up and gets stuck quickly.

My dogs though are too smart, they won't do anything in the house unless I screw it up and leave them too long. Even then, if its an unexpected thing, they're pretty good about trying to hold it just a little longer.

I always wanted GSs, always been my favorite breed. But I still didn't realize how freaking smart they are. These guys were sitting and obeying commands just a few months old.

My shepherd was about 6 months old when I trained him to where I'd open the kitchen door leading out onto the deck, which had a screen porch on it, and tell him to go to the woods (to go to the bathroom, because I don't like stepping in crap). The screen porch door was spring loaded, so he'd push it open, go downstairs, and out to the woods. I'd leave the kitchen door closed, but not latched, so when he came back up, he'd pull on the rope attached to the screen porch door, walk in and sit down outside the kitchen door and bark once. I'd yell from the sofa for him to come in and he'd push the door open and walk into the kitchen. I'd tell him to close the door and he'd turn around and push it closed. If I didn't hear it latch I'd say, "All the way!", and he'd push it all the way closed.

That’s awesome! Beautiful smart dogs. They’re so smart you can train them wrong very easily. My male dog for example has the world’s loudest yawn. I would always laugh when he did it. Before I realized it, he was trying to yawn just to make me happy.

LMAO! Good thing he couldn't swear!

Yeah, I've got a 11 year old Lab mix and a 6 year old Doberman mix both rescues. We've got a dog door so mine are inside outside dogs. We were doing a porch rebuild where we had our existing porch demoed and a new patio poured. We had guys there working every day with jackhammers and front end loaders so I'd lock my dogs in every day while at work. My dog door has a plastic cover that snaps over the hole and is tough to get on and off. Anyways my contractor calls me at work one day and says they're getting ready to pour concrete so I need to come put my dogs up. What? My dogs are locked in, but the guys says no they're out here. So I drive home and find the plastic dog door on the floor and my dogs outside. We've got cameras so I go back and watch my Doby mix work and work to get this door off with her teeth. Once she does she explodes outside, runs across the yard, and takes a dump. Mans best friend? I think so.
