Wow. A dog that does laundry
I've been seeing those lists that go around every so often about the smartest dogs (think most obedient). Check out the story in the San Francisco Chronicle. The border collie, of course, comes in first:
- Border Collie
- Poodle
- German Shepherd
- Golden Retriever
- Doberman Pinscher
- Shetland Sheepdog
- Labrador Retriever
- Papillon
- Rottweiler
- Australian Cattle Dog
And proving the Border Collie's intelligence is this video of Paige, a dog who can even load laundry (and the family cat) into your dryer. The family cat has a couple bit parts in this (be sure to listen to the music), but doesn't really do much. Check out this page for more info on the breeds.
(Oh, and the not-so-swift breeds? Afghan Hound, Basenji, Bulldog, Chow Chow, Borzoi, Bloodhound, Pekingese, Mastiff, Beagle and Basset Hound.) There's actually a Doggie IQ test you can do to see how your own dog ranks.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

Josh Grossberg grew up with the usual array of animals: goldfish, dogs, hamsters, parakeets and turtles. He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
