More: Elly May would have made a great hunting dog if it wasn't for all of her health issues. She is the most intelligent dog that I have ever so I am always teaching her new tricks to get her mentally stimulated. Since she has a great prey drive and I don't hunt, she has a remote control car that she loves to chase. Fifteen minutes of chasing her car provides her with more mental & physical stimulation than a 5 mile run.
