I own one, and let's just say she's not the brightest crayon in the box. Where was the pug on the “stupid” list? I own one, and let’s just say she’s not the brightest crayon in the box.

He was also smart enough to get ham three times a day. Rufus was smart enough to tell you when he wanted the heater turned on to sleep in front of it, or stand in front of the fan to tell you he was hot and wanted it trun on as well. I agree about Labs - we had one that actually looked both ways before crossing the street. Another one would only drink fresh cold water from the bath tub ( no potty water for him), and would take his mouth and try to turn the faucet on to get it! He never could, but he would watch as you turned it - actually watching to learn how to turn it himself! Most of us want a dog to love and be loved in return - in that ALL dogs are smart!

It's not actually my list -- CBS is cited as the source, but thanks for your feedback. Hi Chowlover, thanks for stopping by.

They know enough not to bark at stupid things, not to listen to stupid commands like "sit". Instead of sitting they ask "why, I'm fine standing". They don't eat themselves to death, they know when to stop. They don't chase after everything that moves. They don't jump all over couches. They are the most laid back, intelligent dog. I would change your list to the "10 most untrainable breeds" rather than dumb. Your list is like saying someone is smart for jumping off a bridge because he was commanded to.

I loved my Chow Chow, Bandit, so much and she was so smart even as a puppy, and not a mean bone in her body. She died of old age last year, and I will always miss her. I agree totally.

My Chow Chow just died at age 13 and I thought she was really smart, loyal, and not a mean bone in her body. I also have a Golden Retreiver/German Sheperd mix, and I have to admit that she is the smartest dog I have ever known. It is almost like she understands what you are saying and picks up on what you want her to do after the first time. So, I think that there can be some individual smart dogs even in the Dumb List. Love dogs anyway. Well, I have had one in each list. My Chow Chow just died at age 13 and I thought she was really smart, loyal, and not a mean bone in her body.
