Well all those of us that have trained dogs will tell you we would rather train an "UP" dog than anything else; because we channel that energy to doing the correct thing and award for only doing the correct thing and never punish for doing the wrong thing. If they do the wrong thing they are ignored........
When I get home from work my dogs have been running, barking and playing grab-ass all day and ready to go with me for another romp.
If a dog is mentally deranged they are of no use to me; but there a plenty of deranged people who will give them a home;-)=
I'd get an English Setter; but just prefer the looks of a GSP and what I enjoy more than anything else in life is watching good looking dogs work.
