Hummm .Just because he is yours and you like him ? Some say they are good because they like you ! I say BS . He is a good dog IF he does what you tell him to do (even if the water is cold or he wants to find another covey instead of retrieving a cripple in the icy cattails . Dogs are useful I love them but they should earn the title of Good Dog . We all have some GOOD PETS . Thats what they are .

That depends on what you want in a dog. Mine looks after the place and is a good companion. When I am away at work. The missus and house is safe. When I am home he is with me 24/7 and short of dealing cards does what I tell him

To me, it's all about obedience. Do what I tell you, when I tell you no matter what. It takes a lot of training and a lifetime of reinforcement to achieve that. Many people don't have a clue or aren't willing to put in the time.
Eh...wot?

Many people don't have a clue or aren't willing to put in the time. So true. My "good dog" - a Brittany named Grace - has taken 8 years so far to train me and says I'm coming along but not quite where she wants me to be quite yet.. I need a little more finishing.

You'll know a "good" dog when you see it To me, any dog that show any aggressive behavior is not a good dog.
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo
You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

Mine is in sulk mode right now as the Missus went grocery shopping and I left him inside asI was running the bush hog and thats the only time when he cant be with me. Didn't even want the cookie I offered him as a peace offering. he will come around in an hour or so and forget all about it. And then we will go to inspect what I did out there.
