I tested my Lab (Indy) this AM, here is what I came up with, he knows the following:

Stop
Lets Go
Sit
Down
Find your bone
Find your ball
Where's Emma?
Where's Max?
To the Office
Quite
Watch
Off (used when he has something he shouldn't
Drop (sometimes used with off but mostly if he steals something from another Dog)
Go right
Go left
Walk?
Ride? (which he goes crazy over - even more then a walk)
Good fella (which always brings about a tail wag and a request for an ear scratch
Bedtime (he makes way to my Sons bed)
Watch the house (what I tell him when I'm leaving then he takes his post in my office)

I bet there are more but I can't think of any. I had a long conversation last night with Tempo (my wife's guide dog)...well actually she listened more then contributed...and it was very obvious that this dog 'knew' stuff that no other dog I met. The look in her eyes is that of a primate. I swear its almost freaky. She is only 20 months old and you would think that being a yellow lab she would be all goofy and immature but if a dog could have an old soul this dog has it!

Then I looked over at my Daughters Chiweenie who was busy eating a dust ball and thought about why some animals just shouldn't breed...
