It has been my view that
dogs are often stupid despite some natural intelligence, but the reason why may
have been locked into the genes from ancient times.
Science has changed my
mind because wolves are
brighter than dogs it seems according to an article in Science Daily.
My theory now is that as
dogs descended from wolves and then became domesticated they were made stupid
by long term close contact with humans.
So don't blame the dogs.
Working sheep dogs can be pretty impressive when you see them in action. We had two dogs, both as thick as a plank.
