I think it all depends on the dog when it comes to training... it took Chip a month to be potty trained and he knew all the basic commands plus tricks before we even took him to puppy class. Smokey is almost 2 and is still working on it. My two are spoiled with love, but aren't "pampered" if you know what I mean. They each have unique special time with us. Chip has allergies, but that's the only health problems we've had.

I think with health problems, you just have to research your breeder... when it comes to training, you just have to be consistent and find the way that works for your own individual dog.

I don't understand why people group breeds together and think that they are all a certain way. Each dog, no matter WHAT the breed is different and unique. They all have their different personalities and learning styles, just like human kids.
