Im thinking about getting a cattle dog or a kelpie. Much more fun having dogs that know 100+ words and sometimes try to outwit you.

He does have that slightly worried look.
What he's actually doing is holding the bulldog back, as I was trying to get him to stay for the photo, but he wasn't listening. Then the boxer ended up putting his paw out and holding him, almost as if he understood what the problem was.
 
My boxer was a kunce to get a photo of, if told to sit and stay he would, but he'd pull a face, or flick his ear back or look somewhere else or start to lick his balls.
The trick was for the missus to hold a slice of ham behind the camera and me shoot, only way to get good shots of the dumb kunce, miss him alot.
 
How good are dogs....here's my big boy Conan, 50 kg bandog mastiff, 16 months old.

That's not a dog, that's a snack:D

Most recent photos of our smallest dog 'Bandit', but we call him 'little dog' and he responds to it.

I still massively miss my big dog i last some 11 years ago now...
But this little one...never have i met a better dog. Straight up. Fully controllable, totally loyal. Now responds to both vocal commands and many hand signals. Training has been easy as. Very little effort ever needed, she just wants to learn and obey. And also probably a better guard dog in many ways than my big old mate german shephard was haha. Makes no sound, just comes and gets me and makes me follow her! Silently lol.
Y'all can have have ya big dogs!
 
Both my Siberian Huskies respond to hand signals, for sit, stay, down, shake and roll over, don't have to say a word.

And they say Huskies are hard to train.

They also won't eat unless I say 'eat', I can put a bone down or their food bowl and they won't touch it till I say eat, and they will walk away from it if I want it back.

They are reasonably big dogs, 'little dog' weighs in at 30kg exactly and big dog at 31kg, and fucking strong so I am not taking any chances, the same.

A good command to teach your dog is 'leave it', great when out for a walk and they find road kill or prey or other dogs, if I say 'leave it' they won't touch it.

This was taken about two minutes after we got them and was the first photo I ever took of them:

Yeah great looking dogs mate. The leave it command is a pearler aye. Use that one twoey also.

It amazes just how strong a dog can be...my girl weighs just shy of 8kg....but is so fucking strong for her size. Lb for lb would have put my shephard to shame haha and he was a tough mutt.
30kg is a gpod size actually. Still manageable etc. Shephard was probably around that, he was a fucking lazy **** so it came in handy for when it came to get in the car (he hated it for some reason, so youd have to hoist him haha). Fucking twoey will jump through the window if you ask her haha.
