Wales Corgi Dog (detail introduction)
Some people raising dogs is out of love for dogs, while others are envious of dogs. They envy others to make various actions in accordance with their instructions. But when they really bought the dogs back, they found that things were not as simple as they thought. There is a certain difference in the IQ of the dog. Even if the dogs of the same variety are the same, there will be certain differences. Therefore, the owner should treat it with the right mind. Okay, use violence.
First of all, different dogs can cultivate different instincts, and what we call refers to the nature of each breed dog that is selected. For example, the shepherd dogs are formed for the shepherds, and they will instinctively drive domestic animals, keep the livestock concentrated, and lead the domestic animal to the right direction. These abilities are natural, just need to give some guidance and control it.
Different varieties of dogs have different instincts. For example, the guard dogs look at home and protect the owner; recover the dogs to retrieve things, and the smell of hunting dogs can be tracked; indicating that dogs can find birds and point out their orientation; while partner dogs understand people's communication signals and can do it to our emotions Report and provide comfort. The instincts of different types of dogs are meaningless to judge which dog is more "smart", because their ability is too different and there is no comparability.
Secondly, the dog's adaptive ability, that is, depending on what the dog can learn for themselves, including learning and benefits from the experience of the surrounding environment, dealing with new problems, and so on. Even dogs of the same variety have a big difference in adaptability. For example, all the golden retrievers have similar talents. Although most of them are smart, occasionally there are individuals who look stupid and always make the same mistakes. The difference between these golden retriever hunting is the difference in adaptability, which can be measured by specific testing.
The same kind of dog IQ is also different
Another is the work of dogs and obedience. This is also an important criterion for us to judge dog IQ. It is similar to what we call the learning ability, that is, what dogs can learn under the guidance of human beings. This is very important. Most of the purpose of people domesticated dogs is to make them engage in different tasks, so we often feel that the smarter dogs, the more obediently.
The work and obedience of different types of dogs can indeed be measured and sorted. However, the data of the "obedience competition" of the Dog Raise Association is actually not accurate, because it is confused with the popularity of the dog. For example, in recent years, according to the survey of the American Dog Raise Association, none of the Oda Hound (details introduced) obtained obedience level certification, while Golden Retriever has 1,284 items obtained this level certification. But this does not show that the Oda Hound is stupid, because, you must know that there are about 670,000 golden retriever hunting registered in the American Dogs Association, and at the same time, the Oda Hound registered in the case is only 300. Even if the Odar Hound is the smartest of dogs, even if each one can meet the standards, it can only accumulate 300 certifications, which is far from the 1284 certification of Golden Rim Hound.
Therefore, the so -called dog IQ ranking we see now cannot be said to be completely correct. Some dogs may only be obedient, but it does not mean that they are stupid. This is also the reason why some dogs are obviously said, but they always do not learn some movements, so the owner must treat this problem correctly, and do not force the dog too much.
