Not sure how accurately it measured canine intelligence but it was interesting to watch. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/04/07/earlyshow/contributors/debbyeturner/main3998362.shtml

It sounds like it could be fun for people to get involved with their dogs but it seems like it would be pretty basic stuff. Good to get people involved in working with their dogs but I don't know, seems gimicky to me.

Just send me $20 and I'll send you a certificate that says your dog's a genius. Mike Suppose you were an idiot. Suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself. -Mark Twain

PS, that was sarcastic, not pointed at you I apologize, that was a little crude but it just reminds me of this $60 "agility"set I bought a while back....the entire thing consisted of plastic poles that broke when the dog missed the jump, and wouldnt stand up. the only thing I really got out of it was a free Ribbon that said "1st Prize agility champion" *scoffs* but it tickled me to buy the set...until I tried to use it.

PS, that was sarcastic, not pointed at you AHAHAHAHA That's a knee slapper! Actually of the dogs demonstrating the test the mutt was the dumbest because he didn't know his owner was under the blanket, the GSD was in the middle because he removed the blanket, but the smartest of all was the beagle because he not only recognized his owner was under the blanket, he refused to remove it from the idiot who gave him such a dumb test in the first place.

So... that makes $350,000 for a few dixie cups, a kong and a short pamplet that most likely was developed from Coren's book. The book is more interesting anyway. Not too shabby of a payday. Looking at the dogs in the video, most of them could stand to miss a few meals.
