Answer 1

We had a German Shepard when I was a child. When my mother laid clean, folded laundry on the stairs to carry up later they disappeared. Our wonderful shepard would leave nothing on the stairway. He would take the stuff upstairs and put it in a corner. My mom soon learned not to put stuff on the stairs. Same thing with any toys I left on the stairway, he would move them upstairs to a corner. We lived way out in the country at the end of a road. When I would be playing outside and would try to cross the road the dog would keep blocking my way so I could not get in the road. There were rattle snakes in our area and while I was playing the dog would always stay nearby. Once in a while he would take my wrist in his mouth and pull me toward the house. After getting me to the house he would go back and kill a rattle snake. Once one had got too close and he had to kill it right next to me. GREAT dog!

Answer 2

There are so many but I like it best when she looks over at the couch and sees no room for herself as the other two Dobermans are stretched out on it. She will then bark and run to the window.Within seconds they jump up and follow and she runs directly to the couch and gets a seat.
I also had a Dobe, who like most hate any type of inclement weather.We were out working on the car in a light rain.She just had to come out with us but once out there was very disturbed by the rain.She looked around and then lept onto the engine block to be covered from the rain by the open hood of the car. Like I have said before these dogs can really think.
A friend of mine had a lab cross who was let out of the car by a little kid in the very north of Maine.The dog followed a gas leak that their car had all the way back to Vermont. It took him 2 months but he made it very much to the pleasure of the owner who had been looking for him endlessly.He must have made a few sidetrips because the owner was not able to find him.

Answer 3

Right ok, when I was about 12 we had an Australian Shepherd. Every summer we used to go to this place called Oak Creek (in Arizona.) The dog loved it there, she loved swimming. Anyway one time I was in the water swimming and I started slowly being pulled by the current of the river, I couldn't stop myself with my feet because the ground under my feet was too slippery. I panicked and yelled out, then my Australian Shepherd saw mw and jumped into the water and swam towards me. I grabbed hold of her and she swam with me holding her over to the rock edge. I climbed out and she stayed close by for about a minute, as if making sure I was ok...then she ran off playing and swimming again. I wouldn't actually say she saved my life because I wasn't really in danger, I just panicked but what she did that day was definitely amazing for a dog. She always was extremely clever though.

Answer 4

Haha!! Bless them!

I could tell you lots of things, but one in particular. When my dog was a puppy, we used to shut him downstairs. He had the run of the lounge, dining room and kitchen. When he was about 10 weeks old (he was tiny) I went upstairs to use the bathroom. When I came out, he was sat outside the bathroom door! It turned out that he could climb up onto the arm of the sofa, lean over and reach out with his little paw and use the door handle! I know lots of dogs do this, but I thought it was pretty clever for such a young puppy!!

Answer 6

My dogs (two Golden Retrievers) are only 9 months old, so they don't read yet. They constantly show their intelligence by figuring out what is going on in the world and demonstrating this by their actions. To be specific, the other day my son was playing with them by putting a toy under the couch. The get down and dig for it, but when it gets more than half-way under, one of them goes around to the back of the couch to get it because it's closer there. It's minor, but requires reasoning.

Answer 7

Okay, I don't really have a doggie IQ story, but there's a few times I felt my dog really understood some situations. One time was when we were competing in an obedience match. There was a stand for examination type of exercise where the dog stands/stays and the judge walks over to inspect the dog while the handler stands at a distance. Anyways, my dog, who is not particularly fond of strangers, decided to charm the judge. When she approached him, he didn't move, but gave her hand a small little lick and the puppy-dog eyes. I even heard her murmer, "Oh, how sweet" to herself. Yeah, we ended up winning that day.

Another time was when my sister and her dog came to visit. My dog wanted to make sure he was dominant over hers, but I admonished him for showing aggression outright. He decided, instead, to simply ignore her dogs presense with the exception of hiding all of her dog's toys. I'm not talking about stashing them behind the furniture or things like that. He got them down into the furniture cushions! He even put one up on a low table! I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it! Sneaky little guy!

Answer 8

One of my male dogs, Bubba, seems to be too smart for his own good. He's always cracking us up with his antics. He is a great dane/boxer mix, so he is large and clumsy most of the time. He has learned how to lock and unlock the front door. I teased him one day about going byebye. (He loves to go for rides in the car.) When the time came for me to leave he was obviously upset at the fact that I wasn't getting his leash and started getting antsy. I went out to the car and realized I forgot my purse, so I went back to the house. Bubba was looking out the window and when he saw me coming he disappeared. I figured he just went to the door to wait. Well the door wouldn't open. It was locked! We have a really old front door with one of the old fashioned flip locks. He flipped the lock with his nose and then just stood there looking at me as if to say "serves you right for teasing me." I had to crawl through the window to get back in the house! I thought it was so funny I didn't yell at him. After I noticed he would go to the door and flip the lock when my fiance left for work. Another time my mom came to the house and my fiance and I were sleeping. The door was locked, and she said she saw bubba come to the door and flip the lock with his nose to let her in. We're in trouble if anyone with a steak ever comes and wants in the house!! lol

Answer 9

Years ago, I had 2 dogs. The larger dog would lay in the kithen door way, and not allow the other one to come in and eat. She would growl every time he tried to enter. The smaller dog, would run to the front door,and bark as if someone was there. When the larger dog went to the door to see who was there, the smaller dog would run to the kitchen to eat. I think that was very smart.

Answer 10

One of my chihuahuas was off her feed a little after she had babies. I gave her some nutrical for a couple of days until she was feeling better. One night she came over to me and looked at me with these sad eyes as she tried to remember how she should look sick in order to get the nutrical. I know that is what she was doing, she would look at me and then at the nutrical, all the time trying to get the eye thing down pat. I said she deserved the Academy
