I think that's true for all breeds. No dog will follow a command if they are given no reason to follow it. They all think independently, without exception. I do believe some dogs are easier to train than others. Unfortunatly not all dogs follow commands because they get rewarded for good behaviour but because they are punished for bad behaviour.
