    Default The Intelligence of Dogs

    Great book on dogs and various breeds.
    Top in brains, Golden Retriever, Poodle, Doberman.
    Thats what I remember. We are on are second Doberman. Smart, loyal and very low maintenance.
    Needs daily off leash walks and lots of family time.
    Hounds are dumb. Blood Hounds are the dog IQ bottom. All nose and no brains.
    I like sex, drugs and automatic weapons. That's why i'm a dues paying member of the Libertarian party. Struggling to keep the government away from messing with the above.

    English Shepherds; Best dogs ever.


    Brains of a Border Collie (without the hyperness)
    All the good stuff from Aussies without the health issues (cancer and epilepsy) and not quite as hyper (keep in mind that the Australian Shepherd is descended from the English Shepherd).
    A little larger and more protective than an Aussie.


    Ours is a Tri Color that looks a lot like the Tri Color shown on the Wikipedia page. His name is Thatcher (named after the iron lady)
    (not Thatcher ... but he looks a lot like this)

    We previously had a black and white one named Murphy who was probably the best dog we'll ever own (although Thatcher is catching up ... he'll be Two years old tomorrow).

    Bottom line: With proper training and attention, any dog you pick will be wonderful.

    I currently have a boxer that my neice and nephew beat up on and he's wonderfully well behaved with them. We even had a saddle that my neice would ride him when she was younger/lighter. (Don't call PETA, my boxer is like on steroids or something. 2 inches tallers and about 40 lbs bigger than breed standards.)

    Pretty much! Mine is a Pit/Greyhound mix, and he is the best dog I've ever owned. I'd clone him if I could. Having said that, the Chocolate Lab we just got my boy is very smart, extremely friendly and shows every sign of being a terrific dog as well. And I have a soft spot for German Shorthaired Pointers, as well.
