    A great dog is one that is well-behaved, friendly, loyal, and obedient, displaying positive behaviors such as socializing well with both humans and other animals. They are often well-trained and intelligent, responding well to commands. Great dogs are generally in good health, physically fit, and have a balanced temperament. It should also be noted that a great dog can be of any breed or size, as these factors do not determine a dogs behavior or character traits. A great dog may also refer to a dog that excels in specific areas such as hunting, herding, service work, or other dog sports.
