Well I had a Boxer and a Rottweiler previously, which were both awesome breeds. My Boxer was a boy and spoiled and very stubborn! My Rottie was a female she was very smart and very protective, and listened very well. Dogos are very smart! I took all my dogs to puppy training class, and he was by far the quickest learner. he is only 11 months right now, but he does listen well, he still acts like a puppy though. They are great with kids and other dogs and people if you socialize them! He loves everyone he meets!!:|
