We have one lab that knows the difference b/w 2 toys and will usually fetch the correct one for a treat. When you talk to him, he always cocks his head. I've heard that is a sign of high intelligence in a dog, and judging by him I would say it's true. He also knows what it means when you point at something- he actually looks where you are pointing instead of at your hand like most dogs.
Our other lab will bark on command, and then when I say "shhhh" and put my finger to my lips, he will bark really softly. It's so cute and he picked it up right away.
So, can you tell I think dogs are the best and are highly intelligent creatures who deserve nothing but respect, or do I need to ramble longer?
