I love his ears :D<br />Didn't realize that dog culture in Germany would be so different from other countries but we do have a lot of rules and regulations here and having a dog in Germany comes hand in hand with paying dog taxes and having to follow certain guidelines......interesting to see how it's like elsewhere ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07454927690107995911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1480576477195404428.post-53768375449703858622014-04-11T09:59:25.406+02:002014-04-11T09:59:25.406+02:00Yes, I agree, the bigger dogs must be trained well...Yes, I agree, the bigger dogs must be trained well or they can be a menace.

It was the most well trained dog ever. It lived in Germany for awhile with the girl before he brought the dog back and it was so well trained. I knew so many commands in German and in English. We have a lab now and he's fairly well trained. He definitely has some bad habits but there's a lot of things we had to be sure to teach him since he now weighs over 100 pounds. He can't get away with some of the things little dogs get away with because it's 100 times more annoying coming from a giant dog. Sometimes I wish he was little, at least when your dog gives up in the middle of a walk you can pick him up, if Gatsby decides he's not moving...he's not moving haha.Katie @ Something Winnderfulhttp://somethingwinnderful.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1480576477195404428.post-20007678833465489882014-04-03T16:08:33.649+02:002014-04-03T16:08:33.649+02:00I cannot go anywhere without the leash for my dog,...I cannot go anywhere without the leash for my dog, she does not follow me at all. <br /><br />Bea<br /><br />www.lovelivingabroad.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04572210880507358799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1480576477195404428.post-81175407282846176722014-04-03T15:40:54.533+02:002014-04-03T15:40:54.533+02:00I LOVED this post!

Ours lives downstairs and leaves the house by her own Doggie Door. I am lazy and don't want to be picking up her long white hairs all the time! She is not well behaved at all, i.e. she jumps up and licks people! Dogs are not allowed in restaurants or cafes in Queensland where I live but in Melbourne they are much more accepted.

How many times have I said things like "Stuart, that's rude!" as he's shoving his nose to smell another dog's butt, or trying to bite a sandwich of a passerby, or, or, or... He's a spoiled little brat, but he's my spoiled brat and I love him to pieces.

I have one dog that is trained in the similar, high intensity obedience of schutzhund, thus she behaves like most of the dogs you described from Germany, but I have 3 others who are merely companions and they are just like Louis, but I love them anyway. XD In my opinion, you dog has their own personality, it doesn't make a difference whether he's a professionally trained, most perfect dog at obedience school, all that matters is that you love each other.
