Max is my faithful companion. Ive never been able to train a dog as well as he turned out before. He is one smart dog for sure. Not many dogs you can open up the front door and let him go out to do his business and when he his done he will push open the door and come in then turn around and close the front door the return to his cage till he is told to come out. He climbs the side of mountains like he's part panther and runs like the wind. He can jump from a stand still 6 feet or more.
