ÔÇťModerate intelligence": Our Entle executes perfectly...but only if he considers it as making sense. He "treats" all 4 us differently, each time perfectly aligned with our personality and even anticipating to what we want.

Sweet, good looking dog that need a lot of exercise. Very easy to train and has a will to please. Stop promoting them as guard dogs. He starts wagging his tail and getting excited when a stranger is at the gate. Other breeds guard more naturally
