Can A Dog Be Mentally Retarded?

Answer 1

You have seen and heard those dogs they use on Taco Bell commercials and still need to ask that question?

Any animal with a brain can become brain damaged by a hard blow to the head causing trauma to injure but not kill.

Poison, salmonella from eating lizards or birds and watching FOX or CNN news (LOL) channels with an ounce of belief can lower even a dog's IQ or cause severe brain damage.

Perhaps like infotaniers the dog you are thing of might have been born with a below level IQ. A lot of over bread dogs have been terminated when they've gone insane, (Doberman's, pit bulls, Dalmatians) and attacked family members without cause when their brains become too large for the enclosed bone structure of their skulls.

It could be human with a room tempter IQ and not the dog that is retarded. Poor judgment, substance abuse, erectile dysfunction, superiority issue or anal retentitive unresolved mother problem the person has could be the problem.

The dog is ashamed to be with their human.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU12P

Treasure him.

Yes, they can..

Answer 10

well a dog can be less smart then other dogs but as far as mentally retarded that's a medical term and i don't think you would find a doc to study the dog and see about it .
pure breed dogs are not as smart as mixed dogs over all .
not all the time but tests show that mixed breeds are most often better health and smarter
