Thanks, Mike. Sounds like a dog that is independant and needs to be worked with against it's will. I'm more interested in independant but can be trained - no strings attached. The girlfriend has a 3 legged mutt right now that's spent the last seven hours laying on my feet keeping them warm (I'm sick as hell laid up in bed) and doesn't expect much out of life, I kind of like that in a dog.
Robb's ChiWeenies gets bonus points for being cute but the dog acts like a crackhead and is a huge pest sometimes; only really calms down when you are alone with it and then it needs semi-constant socialization. Great animal, but an eye opener as I don't think anyone should own a dog like that unless they are retired/homemaker and can spend all day with it.
