ahhh.. finally the sidebar so I can tell you guys about my german dog, Mister B.... We were stationed in Germany for six years and got him there. He is a Beauceron (french sheppard) but born in Germany and trained in German. I do still use German commands with him but he is, how to say it?, bilingual. I might add that it took him a bit to pick up English as I speak German as well and speak it to him frequently. I also took him to a German dog school so he was further trained in German commands.
Another neat aside on Beaucerons... they are from the beauce region of france and their breed has only been altered a few times. They used to run messages to the front lines in wwI and have just been recently accepted into the american kennel club... they are also used as police and therapy dogs in europe. Amazing dogs...

(((they are also very sweet and loving dogs and great with kids... my dog actually herds/babysits all the neighborhood kids when they are playing outside)))
eta: he does not bark with an accent LOL
