People have commented to me over the years about how well behaved and trained my dogs are.  They always want to know what class I took them to or what my trick is or comment how lucky I am to have smart dogs.  I tell them it really wasn’t any of that.  Yes, I did take them to a puppy class, yes they are Labradors and very intelligent and yes, I did carefully research and looked for a top-notch person who produced Labradors to better the breed, not for selling puppies.
