Researchers estimate that dogs are as bright as a 2-year-old human. However, some breeds stand out amongst the pack.

Stanley Coren, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus in the Department of Psychology at the University of British Columbia, a renowned dog researcher, and the author of “The Intelligence of Dogs: Canine Consciousness and Capabilities,” defines three ways to measure dog intelligence: Instinct, adaptive problem-solving, and school learning.

Dive into the research at the link in the comments.

🐾✨ A Day of Discovering Dogs at the Ancient City Classic! ✨🐾

One of the best parts of today’s show was meeting so many incredible breeds you don’t see every day. From familiar favorites to lesser-known companions, each dog brought its own personality, purpose, and history into the ring.

Dog shows are a wonderful opportunity to learn about breeds people may not often encounter and to appreciate the diversity, beauty, and unique traits that make every breed.

Thank you to all the exhibitors who share their passion, knowledge, and amazing dogs with spectators throughout the weekend!

If you haven’t visited yet, there’s still time to come out and experience the Ancient City Classic! You never know which new favorite breed you’ll discover. 🐶💙
