Did you guys know that (according : to most lists) one of the smartest, if not the smartest, breeds are the : poodle breeds. My dogs' breed ain't far behind, and sometimes I think they : are the ones training me! lol! If I didn't have dobies, I would have a : standard poodle, even with all the hair. : Allegedly, during the Vietnam era, the army was looking for a new crop of dogs for use in combat. After extensive testing it was determined that the Standard Poodle was the most easy breed to train to do virtually anything, as well as to "detrain" afterwards. The problem was, however, that they brass figured that NO ONE was going to take a Poodle seriously as an attack dog.;-) (Which, if course means that none of the "brass" had ever been on the wrong end of a pissed off 80 lb standard Poodle.) Anyway, I believe they went with the Shepard, which, along with the Dobbie, is right up there in doggie IQ land. B. D. : > From: B. D.
