How does your DOG rate in POPULARITY?

[The Shadow]

Well...

Carn...I knew you were gonna not like that. Rottis I love, don't get me wrong, they are very obiedient, but in my experience they are not very intelligent....don't compare to sheperds, dobermans, or even jack russels intelligence wise.

I had deleted that because every breed has good examples and bad examples of all traits.

I simply know that I have seem Atlas do things that I have never seen another dog do. He wipes his feet before he comes in from outside. He has about 7 or 8 different chew toys and he knows the name of each one, you tell him to get a specific toy and he will. If he hears the cats fighting, he will go break it up.

You've never owned a Rottie, have you??

Not my own, but my roomate I lived with owned one. Intelligent, for me anyhow, is not only learning ability of word object reconginition, etc, these type of repeative pattern behavoirs, but also (and I know this will not sit well with certain people) but the ability of an animal to access a situation and adapt accordingly.....probmatic thinking. This is what makes the shepard such an intelligent dog.......they are incredible.

Why do you guys think that Collies/Shelties aren't on the list.....they are apparently pretty smart also....?

Gorgeous dog Cornholio.

the best breed of dog in the world is the australian shepherd. they are so smart that they have been known to do kids homework for them. they are so deadly you must register them as deadly weapons. they are the perfect killers.

well these are registered. And the registers go up as the breeders do. SO the greater demand by the public for a certian breed the more people wanna get their dogs registered and breed to make money. For example, after that movie As Good As It Gets....a demand for Brussels Griffons went up, more opportunity to make money more breeders gettting registered. Its just like sales for any industy.

LOL!!!!

I just thought of something:

Your dog runs into a sliding glass-door doing about 100 mph - and you call my dog stupid??

LMAO!!!

I was over at a friend's house the other day, he had a great dane in an apartment....

I thought it was a really stupid thing to do.

But, Cornholio, I guess you keep your rott inside mostly, right? I know some people who keep Germans inside apts.

 

[The Shadow]

Ryan - thank you sir. I just noticed that we are neighbors.

Atlas is indoor. But we have a good sized home(~2600 ft) he has the run of it.

 

[TheSalami]

my dog would beat the shit out of your dog!!!!

I bet TheSalami has his Dog trained to attack and kill on the spot.
