 Never really been a fan of poodles but this one changed my mind slightly. He's turned into a hell of a companion.....Well they both are but for a long time we were worried about the lil guy.

I guess I've always been rather ambivalent about the breed, but one day I was feeling a bit proud of my blue heeler so I did a bit of research.... The Intelligence of Dogs is a book on dog intelligence by Stanley Coren, a professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.[1] Published in 1994, the book explains Coren's theories about the differences in intelligence between different breeds of dogs.[2][3][4] Coren published a second edition in 2006.[5] Coren defines three aspects of dog intelligence in the book: instinctive intelligence, adaptive intelligence, and working and obedience intelligence.[6] Instinctive intelligence refers to a dog's ability to perform the tasks it was bred for, such as herding, pointing, fetching, guarding, or supplying companionship.[6] Adaptive intelligence refers to a dog's ability to solve problems on its own.[6] Working and obedience intelligence refers to a dog's ability to learn from humans.[6] BRIGHTEST DOGS Understanding of New Commands: Fewer than 5 repetitions. Obey First Command: 95% of the time or better.[18] 1 Border Collie 2 Poodle 3 German Shepherd 4 Golden Retriever 5 Doberman Pinscher 6 Shetland Sheepdog 7 Labrador Retriever 8 Papillon 9 Rottweiler 10 Australian Cattle Dog Damn, sorry Scout

Quoted:
Aren't poodles hypoallergenic and really smart? If people didn't give them such faggy hair cuts they wouldn't look half bad. Yes, people who are allergic to dogs are fine with them and they are one of the two smartest breeds of dogs. They are incredibly fast learners, well behaved and are actually sporting dogs (not the toys obviously). They were originally used as retrievers, are great swimmers and love to fetch. Most owners do not give them the horrible hair cuts but the few who do should be shot. |
