I was able to create a German Shepherd also and the Smart trait stayed. The original dog I have is a Mixed Breed Whippet. And even after creating the dog and entering into the household the original Smart trait would disappear and when entering into cas.fulleditmode and reselecting either just Smart or Smart with 2 others, the issue persists. Additional info: when I created a twin of the Whippet, the same problem with the Smart trait persists. If I add other dogs to the household, I am (so far) not finding a breed that exhibits the same issue. This is odd. More testing: small breed and then randomize coat markings. Select Smart & 2 others. Upon entering house Smart disappears. Entering CAS and re-adding Smart and saving. Smart is gone again.
@rayzac I will try a Whippet & see what happens in my game.
