Yes they are he is one smart cookie. It was funny it took a while before he accepted that anyone besides myself was allowed to let him in the house. My wife would call him in and he would sit and wait to make she sure had the proper "clearance & rank". I would have to go to the door and tell him she can let you in its ok. He also refuses to eat table scraps. People food is for people and he asserts his dogness by refusing to eat anything but dog food. Apparently dog treats are for sissy dogs he refuses those as well as if to say "I don't don't have to be bribed to do my job, food and lodging is sufficient" He is all business and follows me at a perfect heel, to my left and 1 or 2 steps behind me. He herds chickens well but, I hope to get him some sheep or goats to care for soon. He doesn't like taking pictures but I'll see if I have one somewhere
