I used to think Goldens were smart - and my first dog was welll....my first dog. Agreed the GSP's are intense - and we bought Levi from hunting stock as opposed to show stock. THere were times when he was a teenager that, if I could have caught him, I would have killed him. Having said all that - Levi is, hands down, the smartest dog I have ever seen. Show him something twice and he's got it. Looks damn spectacular when he is jumping for a frisbee too. I am 5'8" and I think that on a good day, he could clear me by a good 2-3". He is good with kids as well.
