Interesting to see all the responses! I al glad to know that my pup is not the only Rebel. I wonder if we triained him more would he be different. But then again, a personality is kinda hard to break.. oh well.

Cheyenne is a Rebel for sure.

Joce - you are right - he is good boy and I don't REALLY want to change him. But I have a feeling that compared to most dogs on this site, he is probably not very well behaved. It is true what the description says about "the rebel dog" not being focused on the owner. He loves me and all, but he doesn't always obey and is very distractable.

But there again, we don't do any hunting or training with him, so I guess I can't expect amazing behavior. I know that many of the people on this site put A LOT of time into training and hunting, so it stands to reason that their dogs would be better behaved than Osiris. But what I do also think is that they are born with a certain type of behavior that will always show to some extent.
