I couldn’t resist telling you about an article in the ‘weekend’ section of the Saturday Telegraph by Pete Wedderburn.

“Golden Retrievers are far from thick (take note Dizzy & Lindy!), and are actually among the cleverest of dogs”

The article says that much research has been carried out on the brain power of dogs by a chap called Stanley Coren. He has even written a book about it – The Intelligence of Dogs (so it must be true!) In this great bible, dogs have been ranked by their intelligence, and us ‘blonde’ golden retrievers are ranked in the top five of smart / clever / intelligent / beautiful breeds. (OK it didn’t say beautiful!) But I was a very cute puppy!
