There is only one thing I find more disturbing than a pitt bull…a pit bull apologist. 2012% of all fatal dog attacks the United States were perpetrated by pitts. 8% Rotts,5% mixed breed, 5% Shepard, 3% turn its head from side to side, trying to rip that part of your body off. I can only you are too. The Border Collie is widely considered to be the world's smartest dog breed If some dog breeds are the smartest, it only makes sense that some dog breeds are the dumbest, right? An internet search for dumbest dog breeds turn up numerous lists of those breeds people think are less intelligent some ways. just what makes a dog smart or not? Is it simply how trainable he is? His ability to remember things? Sense of direction? Energy level? Something 1994, a psychologist named Coren, PhD., DSc., FRSC, wrote a book called Dr. Coren ranked more than 100 dog breeds based on three specific types of intelligence Does this mean these are the 10 dumbest breeds? Well, not necessarily. How smart you appear to be depends on the test, says Dodman, BVMS, Dipl. ACVB, professor emeritus and former section head and program director of the Animal Behavior Clinic at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. Until quite recently, I had two dogs. One of them was hyper and the other dog would sort of lie around like a lump. You would say was not as smart as But once you were out on a trail, lit up. He was doing the job that nature intended him to do because he was a coonhound, and he was using his super-intelligent nose. He was brilliant at his job, but not good at some other things. It's no secret that purebred dogs have very different skills depending on what they were bred to do. For instance, herding breeds like Border Collies, Australian Shepherds and Corgis are universally considered to be extremely intelligent. Due to the nature of their work, they are excellent at both making independent decisions and taking instructions from humans. Pretty much all scenthounds are governed by their noses, Dr. Dodman says. They're hard to train because they 't really look up, they look down. They're not really interested listening or pleasing anybody, they're just interested tracking with their noses. The sighthounds want to anything that moves. For every dog breed there's a purpose, and the mixed breeds are just a combination of the purebreds. I can how it might be easy to superficially judge a dog who is kind of slow and not paying a lot of attention to what you say and really not that interested performing tricks, but it doesn't mean that they're not smart, and some ways, being very independent could be more intelligent than being obedient. Scenthounds like Basset Hounds, Beagles and Bloodhounds can sniff out almost anything. Sighthounds can spot their prey making the slightest movement and swiftly it down. A Border Collie is far more trainable than a Bloodhound, but a Bloodhound is far superior at tracking scents than a Border Collie. They each have different skills, but they excel their own ways. Dr. Dodman notes how gauging human intelligence can be a similar conundrum. It just depends on how you grade people, he explains. Some people are good at math, some people are good at English. You can be good at some things and not good at others. Considering the vast differences skill sets among dogs, and taking into account the fact that dogs 't speak our language, how can we accurately assess a dog's intelligence? It seems to be like multiple intelligences, Dr. Dodman says. Do you measure them as being particularly bright like almost a savant, when it came to hunting? Or do you have to average out all the behaviors over 10 different types of behavior and give them average score, which I imagine would come back to be pretty much the same for all dogs?
