what breed or cross-breed is it.?.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Asian_Shepherd_DogI was told by other retriever owners that this is what they are like-stupid ,scatty and almost untrainable.
My dog is also almost untrainable - it is particularly a feature of its breed - these dogs are smart, usually not very active, but they have a special sence of their own person - they don't like imperative commands from their owners, it is better to ask a dog to do something. If you aren't good friends with your dog - it can be agressive. But in our family's case (we had a dog of the same breed many years ago) - they are like teddy bears to owner, his family & friends, and like a horror to other people (especially they go mad when seeing somebody drunk).
