Link Donkey has a list of the top 10 most intelligent and stupidest dogs on the planet:
Most intelligent: These breeds on average require less than 5 repetitions to understand a new command. They obey first commands 95 % of the time or better.
Stupidest: Require more than 80 repetitions to understand a new command. Obey first commands less than 25 % of the time.
So what's the most intelligent breed? Border collie. The stupidest? Afghan hound. Link - via AQFL
I appreciate your comment, but fail to see what breeding dogma/doctrine has to do with my input to others. I can appreciate the diverse and dynamic world we call home, and have no reservations in allowing each to hold their own system of beliefs. However, I do have a problem with the spreading or false or completely irrational beliefs, comments, or so called "knowledge". If people want to believe in facets of a reality that are not congruent with the world the rest of us live in, that is one thing. If they choose to spread unrealistic beliefs, then I, and global society at large, have a problem.
I agree with you that being tasteful does not harbour degradation to another with the motivation of making oneself feel better. However, rest assured that I do not comment with the agenda of belittling another to elevate myself, but simply to inform, concretely, the ridiculousness of some people's ideas.
In terms of breeding dogs...not as much of a concern for me. The breeding of absurd ideas (and the breeding between individuals with absurd ideas) is what is really troublesome.
Cheers,

I don't know you and you don't know me, but most people of breeding ascribe to the following:
Understanding that we live in a very diverse world, people of true class have no need and therefore don't belittle or demean others in a thinly disguised and feeble attempt to artificially elevate themselves.
Cheers.
