I love to tell people that b's are rated the "second dumbest dogs". Totally freaks them out.
I think part of the rating was done by "trainability". Yes, the b is more like a cat (doesn't care what you want). But, whoever rated these "dumb" dogs is the biggest idiot of them all.
I have a friend who has a lab who has been to the vet numerous times for eating stuff he shouldn't (sound familiar?). My Mom has a border collie mix (beautiful dog) who will stand out in the rain until he is drenched to the bone when he has adequate cover. I have a friend who has a chihuahua and it's so neurotic it has to be on doggy downers on a daily basis.
So, tell me, which is "smarter"?
Give me my clean, cute, stubborn, cuddly, quiet, crazy b any day!
I think they should rate owners. Where would b owners rate? At the top, in my opinion!!!:D:D:D:D:D
