Collie

The collie's temperament makes it one of the finest family pets. These are highly responsive dogs that want to please their owners. They excel in obedience training when handled gently and with positive reinforcement, as long as the sessions are varied (repetitive activities bore these intelligent dogs) and interspersed with retrieving and jumping.

Giant Schnauzer

Giant schnauzers make excellent police and guard dogs. They're large, powerful, and want to dominate, so the private owner will need to have experience with the schnauzer and make sure extensive obedience training begins early.
