Unlike Ajax, my male Golden Retriever, Bear, earned the nickname of "mellow
yellow."
He had the patience of a saint!
On the other hand, I have owned more than several Berners that would give
Ajax a "run for
his money" and leave him in the dirt with their "take-life-on-at-full-speed"
attitude.
While breeds in general have characteristics that they are known for, it is
not uncommon
for the individuals of that breed to "run the gamut."

smart as a whip, as stubborn as they

something else was "living in
