I've heard that these herding breeds are very smart and can learn anything, but did you have to work much to get the dog to retrieve ducks from water? I've never thought of them as hunting dog (although I think I remember seeing pictures of Ingwedog "retrieving" fish which Ingwe claimed to have caught smile

Honest question, I'm curious.

If what I've heard about these cattle dogs is true though, I'm not sure I'd want a dog smarter than me... wink
