If inbreeding were truly the cause of low aptitudes in Cockers then Border Collies, another purebred, couldn't possibly be the dogs with the highest aptitudes since inbreeding is the method of maintaining all purebreds. The reason Cockers are dumb is because of the traits selected in breeding stock. It's the same reason BC's are smart.

Okay - sound good to me. So why don't they start breeding some smarts into Cockers?
