Welcome to the World of Mack and Mercie
Do you feel a little challenged when it comes to the thought of training a new pup?
How about choosing one of the more intelligent breeds of dog to help ease your anxiety?
#1- Golden Retriever- they are a beautiful breed with a fantastic temperament. If you have kids, these dogs love to swim and fetch for hours on end. They are outgoing, trustworthy and they want to please their human family. They have a joyous and playful attitude that they keep even into adulthood. I had a lab/retriever mix, Chase, and he was playful until his 14th year when he came down with lymphoma cancer.
#2 Border Collie-I have never owned a border collie but I have had friends who actually raised them. You need to be a family that is more active for this dog because they are very energetic but they do love to cuddle down at the end of the day. As the AKC site states: The intelligence, athleticism and train-ability of Borders have a perfect outlet in agility training. Having a job to perform, like agility, is key to their happiness. Happy with friends, they are more reserved around strangers.
#3 Shetland Sheepdog-A Sheltie. Let me tell you about my lovely Sheltie, Smokey. He was truly the smartest dog, well he and Chase the lab/retriever mix were close, and was super easy to train. He was a great dog to have with my babies. They could pull his fur, he would yelp, and then turn and lick their hands. He was gentle and kind. My Smokey was not hyper and loved to be close to us. He was a great watchdog and sensitive to your commands. You never had to be unkind to Smokey, he was always conscious of what you needed him to do. You do have to groom this dog as they have beautiful thick fur.
#4 Papillon-That word means butterfly in French. Even though this is a tiny dog, you can always spot them by their erect, wing shaped ears giving them their name. They love either warm or cold climates, urban or country settings and they love to join in with their human families fun. A smart little dog that can be trained to do all kinds of tricks.
#5 Corgi- Let's round out my list with another small but agile and intelligent dog. They are sweet and affectionate. I mean who doesn't want a loving dog that is smart as well and is never needy! This dog is better suited for a more active person. It's funny they have a "big dog" bark to go along with their acute senses which fits perfectly as they are vigilant watchdogs.
When you are ready to get another dog and you are dreading the all to common training that is to come, look at getting a breed where training comes easy to them and in turn becomes easy for you.
Thank you for listening, thank you for loving dogs enough to give them a home and if you have a favorite charity for animals, remember they can always use donations. If nobody else tells you today, I care about you and you are important in your world. Take care!
