I did a little bragging and revealed the Smartest Dog Breeds two weeks ago. But if your dog's breed wasn't on the list, you are probably aching to know whether your dog made the opposing list...Dumbest Dog Breeds. Your dog might not be dumb-as-rocks, but when the overall dog breeds were tested for intelligence, these breeds came out on the bottom.
10 Dumbest Dog Breeds
10. Basset Hound
9. Beagle
8. Mastiff
7. Pekingese
6. Bloodhound
5. Borzois (Russian Wolfhound)
4. Chow Chow
3. Bulldog
2. Basenji
And the dumbest dog breed around is...
1. Afghan Hound
Don't be upset or embarrassed! Your dog's breed could be on this list, yet he could still be a very intelligent dog. Keep in mind the intelligence tests are based on breed standards and ability to learn new tasks, not individual dog performance. Every dog breed has its strengths and weaknesses; the dog breeds on this particular list just aren't intelligent in the way that scientist rate dog intelligence. For information on all these dog breeds, check out the American Kennel Club site.
