I've never tried growing a dog myself (I was so busy with studies, and now with work) And once I'll get the chance, I'll make sure he'll be the most intelligent dog the world will ever know haha. That's the only thing that excites me -the thought of owning and training a dog someday :)
It's fun. It's like growing your own best friend, but the training really takes a lot of patience and discipline especially for large breeds.
hahaha, the pooing part makes me hesitate lol
