Top 10 stupidest dogs
We like dogs and they like us, but they don’t all listen and learn as good. In 1994, nearly 200 judges from the Canadian and U.S. Kennel Clubs were asked to complete a questionaire about the characteristics of various dog breeds, most notably the intelligence level of these breeds. The intelligence ratings were based on how many repetitions it took for a certain breed to master a new command. The breeds in this top 10 list took at least 80 repetitions (or more) to learn a new command and they tended to obey first commands less than 25% of the time. Sounds pretty stupid, which makes them hard to train, but they all have redeeming qualities like independent thinking, courage, guarding, being gentle or just plain sweet.
