[smkie]

oh your all goofy..i have met mutts that were old souls..ones that needed no one to teach them a dang thing, smarter then their owner..what a rediculous thing to debate..why don't you debate what race of human is the smartest...for pete sake think about it

 

[stirder]

someone please shut this thread down. it is obviously so far off topic that it should not be allowed to continue. doesnt this site have any moderators???

 

[Richie12345]

You can't really determine which breed is smarter, they all have their pros and cons

 

[smkie]

request to lock thread has been noted..i cannot do it, but have called attention to the other moderators that can

 

[poeluvr]

then dont answer if u dont hink this is a good top we have enough peple thinking tihis, me and stirder r trying to take this thread off

 

[Richie12345]

how do you request to lock a thread?

 

[Richie12345]

lol Man, I am so confused, was their some fight going on?

 

[poeluvr]

yea there was sorry richie thought u knew..this thread was just a bad idea. but luckily i'm talking to renee privatly and all is calm again..lol

 

[Richie12345]

dont worry Lea, don't say sorry to me. I'm reading the thread, and I am just thinking this is a misunderstanding.

 

[gaddylovesdogs]

to babyblue-yea there you go...no im joking...the only reason why i started this because me and stirder were having a descussion about GS's inteeligance so it was really only meant for him, but then i thought well lets see what every1 thinks which was a bad idea.

If this question was only meant for stirder, you should have taken it to personal messaging. That way only stirder can reply, not every single member on the board.

Shutting a thread down too often causes more problems than it solves, Stirder. I've got enough trust and faith in my friends here to know that they almost always work around their misunderstandings and miscommunications. About the only time I shut down a thread is when we've got a troll.

Lea, Nedim and Babyblue have all shown themselves to be very good at carrying on discussions in the past and I've got every confidence in them.

Now, as to directly answering the thread in a linear fashion . . . well, you don't usually get any farther than shouting matches when you start opining on whose breed is smartest, best, prettiest, strongest, best guardian, ad infinitum - and I know Lea well enough to know that that wasn't what she had in mind at all! She's a bright girl and is very good at looking at things from different viewpoints. Lea's been more of a peacemaker than an arguer; right now she's sad since she just lost her Grampa and her feelings are a bit tender, otherwise this would have all been much, much different.

I hear the Australian shepherd is VERY smart.

Awww, DoggyDaddy - you're gonna be a diplomat when you're grown

 

[gaddylovesdogs]

As I said earlier...this tends to be a touchy subject. It's kind of like asking, "Which race of human do you think is most intelligent?" Can you imagine how big (and horrible) of a fight that would turn into?

o really? well there hearders makes sense

 

[gaddylovesdogs]

I have a mostly border collie mix, and she is very intelligent. But everyone thinks herding dogs are most intelligent because they respond quickly and are loyal, which is all part of herding.

well... can't we just say that all breeds have their pros and cons

Yep, they're sheep herders. They are very intelligent dogs, but the reason most people think they're the most intelligent breed is because herding dogs respond to commands quickly and listen well. And many times those same people think, say, terriers are stupid because they usually don't respond as quickly, but the reason they don't respond as quickly is they are stubborn and independent.
