HELLO TO A PRETTY DOG! I AM A CAT LADY FROM UPSTATE NY/USA AND DOGS ARE SMART AND SWEET TOO. I THINK THAT ALWAYS IS A REFLECTION OF THE OWNER AND NOT THE BREED. BUT I HAVE NEVER HAD A DOG. I HAVE SOME GERMAN BACKGROUND-MIXED WITH SOME OTHER COUNTRIES. FENJA I HOPE YOU WILL HAVE A GREAT SUMMER AND ENJOY YOUR LOVING HUMANS.SUSANSWATLIN518
