Hi all,
I just wandered over from a working dog forum and a member posted an article about dog intelligence by breed. MSN and the link this member posted said that Basenjis are on the bottom ten of intelligence. I had to throw the BS flag on that. I've never owned a Basenji or worked with one but from the people I talked to and what I've read that you have to have a good bond and properly motivate the Basenji to train them, it's not an "IQ" thing. German Shepherds are in the top ten, I train for SchutzHund and I'm here to tell you that if you aren't familiar with working line GSDs you would think they were "stupid" or at the very least stubborn.
I was wondering if you guys could link me to sights of Basenjis doing sport, like agility, tracking, CGC or some really clever series of tricks?
I tried to explain to the guy just because the pupper doesn't want to work for you doesn't mean the dog is stupid. Put two milk bones in your pocket and only give him one and see what happens…..
