Introducing A New Baby

My friends appear to be at that age. They are married, have good jobs and a nice place to live. And even with adoring spouses, loving dogs and disposable income they feel incomplete. So they are starting to explore the realm of parenthood. As these excited couples prepare a nursery, read all of the parenting books and debate hospital births or home delivery, they are overlooking the most important aspect of preparing for the baby.

Recently we have become very interested in the subject of canine intelligence. Years ago, Dr. Stanley Coren wrote a book entitled "The Intelligence of Dogs" where he ranked dog breeds for intelligence based on their ability to learn and follow a command. In his research the top three breeds for intelligence are the Border Collie, Poodle and German Shepherd Dog.

We at DogMatches question these findings and wondered how our dogs would compare. So we scoured a variety of sources and have developed an updated Canine Intelligence Test. To measure your dog's intelligence you will need to perform 9 short tests. The tests are easy to administer and will test everything from problem solving skills, language comprehension and memory. Proceed to the test!
