Smart vs. Dumb Dogs
Thursday, April 10th, 2008
Earlier this week, the “Early Show” ran a story about the smartest and dumbest breeds of dog. I’m more of a feline fan than a canine connoisseur, but I strongly suspect these results are based on the way the dogs look and not necessarily on their behaviour. See what you think. Here are the results:
SMARTEST: 1. Border Collie 2. Poodles 3. German Shepherd 4. Golden Retriever 5. Doberman Pinscher 6. Shetland Sheepdog 7. Labrador Retriever 8. The Papillon 9. The Rottweiler 10. Australian Cattle Dog
DUMBEST: 1. Afghan Hound 2. Basenji 3. Bulldog 4. Chow Chow 5. Borzoi 6. Bloodhound 7. The Pekingese 8. Mastiff 9. Beagle 10. Basset Hound
