Poodles? Some of the dumbest dogs I’ve ever known have been Poodles. The smartest dog I ever owned was a German Shepherd. I also had a Springer Spaniel that was damn smart.

LMFAO!!!!!

OK you have a point, though the bulldog lost a bit of credibility when it appeared to be eating the board? This might be the coolest thing on Youtube, EVER!

Not a few Georgia fans will take umbrage at that aspersion.

Smartest dog I’ve ever owned was a Sheltie. Magnificent animal.

My Doberman is smarter than most people I know, and smarter than all liberals.

My Lhasa is smart as a whip. She can be stubborn and does things when she is good and ready. My American Eskimo is like the Border Collie. She is extremely alert, at any one time, she knows what each of us are doing. The Lhasa could care less.

We had a German Shepard when I was a kid and she was the stupidist dog on the face of the earth...

Once the GS passed on my mom told my dad that he could only get another dog if it had no fur and no tail. He chose a Dobie. She was so wonderful that they had two others after that.

Now that hubby and I have dogs of our own we have a Puggle -very cute, smart and stubborn as a mule. We also have a Grocery Store dog (you know "Free Puppies") that is Yellow Lab and Shepard. Again, knows exactly what you tell her to do but she waits to see if you are going to insist. We have been insisting ever since we got her and she still questions us. Love them to pieces though.

Shepherds are the smartest dogs and I have two that can prove it.

One of them actually attempts to open the back door with her paws. She puts one on either side of the door knob and attempts to turn it.

I didn’t teach her this and couldn’t believe it when I saw her do it.
