[quote=Anonymous]Is my dog smart in that she figures things out and knows lots of tricks? Nope. She will cry at a half-open door so we can open it. Our trainer said that smart dogs tends to get into mischief so I'm grateful to have a dog of average intelligence who knows to stay off the counter (even though she is a giant breed and the counter is at eye-level) and is reliable with most of the important commands. She also likes to "tuck herself in" by pulling her blanked over herself with her teeth.

What impresses me is how well she "reads" her humans and she is very sensitive. I swear she knew I was pregnant before I did because she suddenly got protective of me on walks and with visitors and became even more clingy. If I cry about something she is right there trying to lick my face or nuzzle me. One time a friend's baby was crying so our pup tried to help buy bringing over her favorite toy. She somehow knows that kids are more fragile because she is gentle and calm around them. So I guess my dog does not really have problem-solving intelligence but makes up for it in emotional intelligence. [/quote]
