I've had some other breeds, and mutts. Nothing compares to the intelligence of a GSD IMO. Miss Belle understands EVERY word I say, and anyone who doubts it admits they are wrong after just a few times of hanging out with us.

Today, one of the "funny" gifs was a parrot talking about "see the squirrel". Miss Belle heard it from the other room, and came running in to look out the deck door thinking there were squirrels on the deck (which there often are, and she loves to chase them off). She seemed confused for a minute or so about who was talking about the squirrels, looked directly at my computer, figured it was coming from there, and gave me her classic "WTF dude?" look. I LOL'ed!

My neighbor, who has had dogs all his life, freaked out the first time he was here, and I asked Belle a question, and she unquestionably answered me in a way that even non-dog-people could understand.

She "talks" to me all day, every day. It is up to me if I am going to listen. I always do.
