(2,679 posts)Corporal Hicks is a great dog. We don't own livestock. He is a house dog. The obedience thing wasn't really that bad. He is not food driven, my last dog was a black lab and labs love food. But he knows commands so its more or less does he feel like listening. An example, sometimes when given treats we give some commands. If he is not in the mood he eyes the treat and determines if it is worth his effort or not. If it is he goes through the list of commands and chomps on a treat. If not he just gives a look of "what ever" and walks away.
Very smart dog. Sometimes too smart. Loves to bark. Sometimes he is like a child that is pissed at a parent. Like when Eddie Murphy was doing that bit about his mom "I hope she gets hit by a truck and die!" My dog will bark under his breathe. Its rather funny.
