They were both scary smart though. And, boy, were they ever stubborn!!! As the lady who taught me to work with Brahms put it after our first session: "You're gonna have your hands full!!!"

Fortunately, Brahms was one of those dogs who wanted to please you. So, until he'd get bored, he'd pretty much do whatever you asked. Once he was bored though, he was DONE!

And Geena had an insanely strong food drive so you could use treats to work with her. She had so much energy though, at least when she was young, and it constantly got her in trouble!

I'd love to have a Belgian again (not a Mali though - they've been bred too high strung at this point) but after my boyz are gone, I'll either be dog-less or find something a LOT smaller. :-(
