We call them the man’s best friend, but for some of us, they’re more than that. Dogs are extremely intelligent creatures with an extraordinary selfless nature. That’s why these indispensable beings are helping people with medical and developmental issues, all over the planet.
However, not all dog breeds meet this high demands. Only highly intelligent dogs as German Shepherds or Labradors are able to do this job. And that, after numerous hours of hard training. Therefore, you can imagine what difficult challenges these pups need to complete.

Only highly intelligent dogs as German Shepherds or Labradors????
Stupidest dog I ever had was a LAB!...............
Breeds have different proportions of high-drive dogs. They have their places - I have a conformation-type Labrador Retriever, a "failed service dog" who was much too high-drive for the work. But she excels as a hunting retriever and also as a competitive obedience dog.
This boy will be a natural for Schutzhund (protection work).
OMG I LMAO!! I loved this video as well on another epic dog fail.

Doesn’t like adblock so no watch
Really funny! I have a female shepherd just like that!
Labs are so popular (and have been for so many years) that bloodlines vary all the way from dumb-as-dirt couch potatoes to nitro-powered field trial lunatics with the brains of a physicist.
You have to figure out what you want, and then examine your pup's pedigree (and meet the parents - always a good idea.)
I kinda like a smart dog that's not QUITE so high drive as a NFC/AFC . . . but that's just me.
See YouTube link in post #3.
Smartest dogs I ever had were all mutts!.....................
LOL, my dog bites, well, viciously attacks the vacuum cleaner, same for lawn mowers. I guess he just doesn’t want me working around the house.
Thank you for the better link.
The soundtrack for the video was perfect.
Lol!!
He just wanted you to think he was stupid.
Shared that with mom. She emailed back, “My first husband. Reincarnated as a dog but I’d know him anywhere.”
Looked more Malinois than Shepherd.
I have cats so I understand that behavior.
