With six toes on each foot--all of them double- or triple-jointed--and an amazing range of motion, this agile dog was used to scale cliffs and rob puffin nests of their eggs. Along with his acrobatic talents, he has a knack for barking and digging, making him a good choice only if you're prepared to give him lots of supervision and training. He's very tough to housetrain.
