LOL! THIS is sure to get some comments!

The problem with dog intelligence lists is that most of them rate intelligence on either trainability or problem solving. Many dogs are just so stubborn that they think they are just above "common" tricks. Greyhounds are a perfect example: they never make the list of most intelligent dog, but they are extremely clever. Their ancestors were owned by pharaohs and European royalty, so their attitude is similar to that of cats: "What's in it for me?". A perfect example was my first greyhound, Willow. When she needed to, she could solve the most difficult dilemma, but tricks? Heaven forbid!! Her friend Max the GSD could learn a new trick in 5 minutes with only a few small biscuits. Willow would just watch him go through his paces because she knew what was next: she would follow him into the kitchen where they would BOTH get treats. Why go through all that trouble when she could let Max do all the work and she would reap part of his reward? I called her his "agent". :B
