I've been around MANY dogs in my life . My Father had a Dog Kennel in our backyard when I was a kid ,he had Poodles, Boston Terriers Schnauzers, Pekinese, Coondogs, Irish Setters,Ithink thats all he had . My Sister raised Rott's & Boxers My brother had German Shepards & my husband & I have had Dobies,Pit Bulls, Mixes,Boston Terriers & Boxers, and of them all Boxers are the smartest & most behaved & definatly the easiest to train cuz they are so smart. But Boston Terriers are my mostest favorite they are smart somewhat behaved little and so loving .
