The type of dog does not matter it is all about how well trained they are although you may want to get a smart dog so hopefully it will learn faster. If you want a smart dog I would steer clear of Maltese and cocker spaniels as they seem to not be as smart as say a lab or a golden retriever. So basically the type of dog doent really matter.
"The dog" isn't a sentence because it doesn't have a verb. If you are asking what part of speech it is, "the" is an article, and "dog" is a noun.
It is a declarative sentence.
i lead the army i lead the country i take my dog a walk on a lead (endless possiblitys) ! i was leading when a leader came up and leaded me!
the dog was turned loose, for he had been pulling at the lead for some time.
The sentence contains a compound sentence.
transitive
I was a poet and I didn't even know it. A poet is a subject, and is therefore used the same way as any other would be. The dog is smart...The poet is smart.
"Sure, what type of sentence are you looking for?"
Yes you can Example : The Doberman was barking at me (Doberman:a type of dog)
A verb is something you do, for example, "run", "jump", etc. "Bark" would be the verb in the sentence, "The dog barked."
Train the dog and teach it tricks. Then you can say that it is alot smarter than a smart dog.
