Well pretty much every dog has a problem. Like German sheperds have leg problems,etc.
thats because of the demand for "pure breed" dogs is very high and breeders (bad ones) sometimes inbreed so they can make more puppies and more money. generations later the dogs have all kinds of problems from the inbreeding. if you get a mutt they usually do live longer because they are not inbreed.

Yeh races start developing problems cos of that!
Well I have a Fox Terrier, they have heart problems and usually only live 8/9 years. Mine is 13 but her daughter died at 8 馃檨
And I have a mutt that looks like a schnauzer (sp) she's only 3years old (i think 馃槕 )

Yeh they are either the most inteligente race or one of them. Colies (Lassie) are also very inteligente.
But my fave are Border colies! The sheep dogs! I love them!
i had a german shepherd once. ness was his name. he was born in the exact year with me. he was such a good dog...this is a sad story..almost like a movie storie, really.
So this dog, was literally my best friend. He was damn SMART..amaizingly smart. Shake your hand, rollover..all of those tricks..and was disciplined also. But one day so fu*kin gipsies stole him when he was walking around. I didn't know where he went and me and my dad searched for him for days in the neighbourhoods. I was so damn angry (still am 馃槧 ) i didn't find him and i was very sad.
Anyway...the winter came and passed. And then in the spring a boy from around told us where he was. in that night he boy (some guts on him) managed to get in adn free him. the dog (now blind 馃槧) found his way back home alone..and came ....my god i was glad to see him.
The guy said that during the winter they used him for dragging sledges and stuff 馃槧......what can you do...well. he happily lived with us untill he died..he was 14 (so was i)...We have him burried in the back yard
never had a smarter dog..doubt i will. That's why i like german shepherds the best....they're the smartest dogs.
I like bull terriers also
