Depends on the dog, I think.
We had an Afghan Hound.
Beautiful as all get out, but not much in the brains department. Although, it may have just been that she was willfully & disdainfully ignoring our commands at most times (sort of like our cats). She was perfectly trained on leash, but off leash, good luck catching her. And woe be to any squirrel that didn’t get enough of a head start.
