Creative disobedience. I like it!

Who knew my dogs' behavior had such a wonderfully colorful name?

And I thought they were just being little sh*ts!

: I don't put *too* much stock in the breed intelligence ratings.  Get a
breed
: in the top ten, and they will be plenty smart enough!  The ratings are
: extremely subjective, and who knows what training methods are being used
in
: any of the evaluations.  And genetic temperament traits come into play as
: well.  For instance, GSDs (German Shepherd Dogs) tend to be more robotic
in
: their responses to commands, whereas Dobermans tend to have a bit of this
: "creative disobedience" thing going on in their thought processes.  As the
: old Schutzhund saying goes, a Doberman will kill for you, but a GSD will
die
: for you (although I am not so sure either behavior is the kind I would
want
: to train into a dog).
:
: My dog Jazz taught herself to open a closed door with her teeth at 12
weeks
: old (by turning the door knob, after watching me).  That's as smart of a
dog
: as I care to have!
:
: Those are a couple of fine looking dogs there, B.D.!  :-)
