Dogs less intelligent than most people think.

[Fred R]

<<Dogs are less intelligent than most people think, a new study has found, revealing that canines are no smarter than pigeons, sheep or goats. . .
For example, dogs are unable to recognise themselves in a mirror, unlike animals including chimpanzees and dolphins. . . >>

Why would a dog want to look in the mirror, anyway?

I think people have humanised dogs and thats where troubles start ..treating some breeds like babies carrying them in bags ..chihuahuas are fiesty and love exercise. ..alot have become unsocialised and aggressive. ...people think dogs do things on purpose like chewing when left or peeing when left too long. ...puppies expected to know to go outside to pee just because the door is open ....
We had goats for years and one used to come out in our old estate car on offlead walks with the dogs people used to look in disbelief
I do believe you get out of any being what you put in.....
Chimpanzees are proven to be so intelligent yet humans still use them for experiments
