Karen, that reminds me of Baby. She's pretty dense, but she's the funniest thing on four legs.

I feel that trainability has nothing to do with intelligence. While you can teach a dog many tricks, it doesn't make it smart. Timber knows tons of tricks, but she's terribly unintelligent --- she's just eager to please! Personally, I feel that the more stubborn and independant breeds are more intelligent than some of the ones that are eager to please (many exceptions of course). I remember on another forum, someone saying that their Sibe was very stupid -- always jumping the fence, running away, and never listening to commands. I find Sibes to be incredibly intelligent -- they are just more difficult to train.
