You should have spoken to her in Pushtu or Farsi. Afghans are notoriously dumb, but most large, extended Afghan families have one or more of them. Not gorgeous like our Afghan showdogs, bold, aggressive hunters of mountain valleys. Friendly guardians of the home.

An Afghan? A Doberman? Not sure you've had the mainstream dog "experience" yet, X. IMO, a home without a dog may represent greater deprivation than a home without a Mommy or Daddy. A single parent household is one important element ahead of a no dog household. Although I can easily find something in most nihil posts to go off on, I must agree completely with his characterization of Border Collies. In the area of man-animal role reversals, The Planet of the Border Collies would have been far more credible than The Planet of the Apes. These "dogs" not only respond brilliantly, I believe they are capable of evaluating probabilities and making actual "plans". An old pal who taught my kids when they were high school students in Tokyo, visits for a week or two every summer. John's straight smart, street smart and kid smart to the max. First time he spotted Maggie, he stopped -- looked at her, and turned to me and said, "If that was a kid in my class, I would NEVER turn my back on her." Our other is a Lab. "Party Dog" might be a better name for the breed. I think her favorite oldie is, "Girls Just Want to Have Fun." M
