EXTREMELY intelligent dog!! Most naturally assume their dog is the smartest but I have never met a dog this smart before. I trained him to carry in the groceries in about 5 minutes, he can understand about 50 words and is fond of watching documentaries about wolves (he can watch TV as well and follow it perfectly). When he was a pup he got pneumonia and lost some growth so he is only about 130lbs but he is still tall.
