Happy Monday to everyone! The extremely warm Portland, Oregon weather has subsided somewhat and we’re pleased to get our week started once again. Over the weekend, someone in our Portland Petsitters networking group posted an interesting link with the topic of dog intelligence. Since I’ve been talking about Poodles lately I figured that I would mention that Poodles rank highly once again, along with German Shepherds and Border Collies. Poodles, yes, I’ve heard about this many times. German Shepherds like K-9 cop, yeah ok. But Border Collies? Who knew? I will admit that Border Collies dominate when it comes to frisbee though, I just saw an awesome competition and they were amazing to witness. Well, what I guess I’ve learned over time is that dog’s can be both intelligent and not so intelligent and I don’t know if this is entirely breed specific. For example, I’ve known both bright and slow Poodles. In any case it is an interesting article and recommended reading. Dog Smarts
