I owned one Australian Shepard a very smart dog
“I owned one Australian Shepard a very smart dog”
We have lived with Australian Shepherds forever.
All of them, intelligent and skilled in different ways.
That said, I believe that most dogs are smarter than most people would think.
Yes, like grunts there some slow ones...
We have been fortunate in that ours have been very good companions, and traveled well too.
My Brother owned two. Smart Doggies.
