How smart is your dog?

My last dog couldn't learn "sit", and he would face the wrong direction when barking at someone on the street.

My wife has a Chihuahua/Maltese mix.

Its IQ is about that of a tomato. And she’s as vicious as a Velociraptor and has no concept of size. She got off her leash on day on a walk and went after a neighbor’s chocolate lab. Scared the shite out of the lab. And I don’t mean that metaphorically. The lab, a full grown male, literally shite itself.

My daughter has a pure bread Pug. She loves everyone and has the IQ of a potato. Seriously, she struggles to blink her eyes in unison.

They do come in the same size as a loaf of bread. And they have feet and a tail. The dark brown/black ones are the ones that were in the oven for too long.

We have a labradoodle who is 2. He is very smart and was very easy to train. He knows all the commands and knows how to communicate what he wants. Soon, he will be opening the fridge and bringing the beer.

My Australian Shepherd learned if I pulled out the cast iron skillet there was a high chance the smoke detectors would go off and she’d hide lol

My lab can distinguish the sound of vehicles that belong to one of his people before anybody else can hear them. He'll get all excited and 30 seconds later someone pulls up in the driveway.

My lab is almost too smart. He learned where it was ok to shite on our morning walks. Knows what the sounds on life360 mean. Learned to sit by the back door when he needs to go out and taps the glass door when he wants back in. Knows key words like walk, treat, kong, ball, peanut butter, kennel, bad, frick, motherfricker, sit, get'em.

same for our lab mix. also has an extending list of words/commands. but, to credit/fault (depends on your prospective here) will listen to my commands and not my wife's or son's same commands.

he knows, "outside", "puppies bed", "puppies kennel", "treat", " puppies medicine", "lay down", "sit", ect. and when i raise my voice to scold hi for barking at the delivery at the front door, runs straight to his kennel. he also knows our routine better then we do......

My dog Missy (RIP) understood at least 40 words. She knew the names of all of my family members and friends.
I would say “go see Randall” and she would wag her tail and head towards my buddy Randall.
She was the only dog that was allowed on the golf course I played. She had better etiquette than a lot of golfers. When someone was hitting or putting she would freeze until they finished. If she saw a golf ball somewhere on the course, she would stand over it and look in all directions to see if anyone was coming for the ball. If after a couple of minutes nobody appeared she would put the ball in her mouth and bring it to me.
If I hit a golf ball into the rough and could not find it, I would tell her to “get the ball”.
She would sniff around and dig into the rough until she found it and then bring it to me
Amazing dog.
