Catching up on canine intelligence
September 10th 2010 11:33
Rabbit: It's rabbit, actually. And no, you don't. You want to grow up to be that most esteemed of all dog breeds, a border collie.
A new study into the relative intelligence of dog breeds, conducted by a veterinarian and supported by a veterinary products supplier, has received press coverage after it determined that the most intelligent breed of dog is - wait for it - the border collie.
Other breeds in the top 10 were - wait for it - the poodle, German shepherd and golden retriever.
So much new and exciting information here.
The study was, according to the press reports, done by Australian vet Mark Perissinotto, and was "based on his experience".
And it was, according to the press reports, commissioned by vet supplier vetshopaustralia.com. If you go to their web page in an attempt to find a full list, or at least the rest of the top 10, you will be disappointed because there is no sign of it.
If you are interested in a complete list, Zoomies offered one more than two years ago. You can read it here.
Poodle puppy 2: Oui, me too.
Poodle puppy 1: We will prance, we will dance ...
Poodle puppy 2: Oui, chic to chic.
German shepherd puppy 2: Oh, shut up.
Golden retriever puppy 2: What does that mean?
Golden retriever puppy 3: It means loving everybody and everything, all the time, without fear, favour or hesitation.
Golden retriever puppy 2: Oh yeah, I knew that.
