Too high! I’ve got a miniature dachshund and that little boy is dumber than dirt. I wonder if the minimization process shrinks their brains.
We have one, she is smart. She is now older and lazy.
She only does her business in the house when we are not around. She holds it in just for that purpose, OR, for when she is angry about something else like being bathed or something.
If we are outside working or doing anything in the yard we hear nothing. But if she smells my cigar from the back, by the garage, she will sit there and create a hell of a racket at the door until someone lets her out.

We have two dachshunds. One is pretty smart, the other is short bus material. The dumb one is a lot sweeter, though.

This is just wrong. I have a Chow (my 2nd one) and both were highly intelligent but stubborn.

we're shooting ducks on a bar pit one morning. 35 degrees, 25 mph wind. my DA buddy ties up the boat. as a result it blows across the bar pit. we're 20 miles from civilization.
he looks at his Irish Setter (smarter than my buddy) and tells her to fetch the boat. without hesitation, she jumps in and swims over to the boat. grabs the bow rope and pulls the boat back to us.
that Irish Setter was a dog genius. she could count and identify numbers (on the pool balls).

They understand very well they choose to ignore it. My hound is smart as hell and knows they are ignoring or disobeying commands.
I was thinking the same thing. I wonder how they controlled for that, or even if they did. We had a Weimaraner, and we thought he belonged on the short bus. Eventually we realized he just listened when he wanted to or had to. It was funny. I could get him to sit, roll over, shake, bark, go find the wife, go check for intruders, etc. with one word. 10 years in and he still couldn't heel properly...until I got really mad. Then he looked like he belonged at Westminster.

Could just be a reflection of its owners training ability maybe?

I thought Basenji's were considered smart but very willful and hard to train.

Boxers are smarter than golden retrievers.
Posted on 12/4/18 at 10:05 am to weagle99
this explains a lot - my dog is mostly Basset Hound like 47% - but has Rottie and German Shepherd. sometimes she listens geart - and sometimes its like yelling at a wall.

So what you are saying is the European Dogs are much smarter than Asian Dogs? Pretty racist study if you ask me!

I have an Australian shepherd, and the ranking of 42 is just incorrect. Shes the smartest dog I've ever been around and i grew up with labs and huskies. She understood and obeyed sit, stay, lay down, paw, other paw, circle, high 5, jump, and speak by 9 weeks old. She's almost 5 months now and she is learning how to complete agility courses.

When you mix these two, you should add the rankings together to get the new ranking.
I have a pyre kangal cross.
Does he know commands? No.
Can he open a locked door...yeah.
Can he open a car door...yeah.
Is he generally a know it all dick just like me... Yeah.

The problem with calling this intelligence is, it's based upon commands. So, if a given breed did not need to understand and obey the command, it will not score as high. This is why you see hunting and working group dogs do so well. Some smart dogs will do poorly because their task did not require much human input. Hounds and terriers for example, were generally set free to do their task without the need for constant contact with their human.

I have a bunch of mutts. My two lab mixes are both dumber than a box of rocks. They routinely get themselves stuck in places because they can't figure out how to go back through the hole in the fence they made for themselves or how to jump back over a fence they just jumped over.
My rat terrier/yorkie mix is smarter than most people's children, but she is FAR from obedient. She has her own agenda and a mind of her own. She talks back, rolls her eyes, yada yadas people, etc. She can even answer yes/no and either/or questions when we ask her opinion on something or need to know what she wants. She was also a little escape artist when she was younger as she figured out to open latched doors and time escapes so that she could wander free all day but be back in the yard by the time I got home. She pouts and will pee in the house or steal socks out of spite or withhold affection. She was good training for being married, then chose the wife over me in the divorce.

We have an old picture of my great grandparents' dog which by appearances was a border collie. My great grandmother would spread a quilt outside and put the baby on it. She would go about her household chores
while the dog kept the baby on the quilt.
