Intelligent bloodlines

[Officially Retired]

I haven't had the pleasure yet of spending any real time with a Poncho or Vise-Grip dog, but I can say that one of the hands-down smartest BOX dogs I ever saw was a heavy Poncho male. If his owner/handler would've had a quarter of the dog's intelligence, he would've had an excellent chance of earning a nice title.

If only ...

I am sure it was another hand-to-face experience

Generally the first sign of a really smart dogs is they got "them eyes"

It was more of a boot-to-ass experience, actually, as it was the last time I ever spoke to those individuals. I refuse to be associated with anyone of such low-rung intellect, class, or compassion. Just third-rate dog people all around.

Honestly, it was quite difficult to keep from hand-in-facing the perpetrators in this particular instance, if you know what I mean. Unfortunately, there are far too many times where our dogs have the best of their owners in regards to smarts AND heart.

I do know what you mean. And you articulated it perfectly.

Sad but true.

The Hammonds line is as smart as most you'll find. The basis that everything they've been based on is an actual purpose dictates and emphasis on intelligence.

Everyone here keeps mentioning the Bolio stuff and I only had one Bolio type dog, by way of pure Tonka Red Baron blood and I can honestly say, my Amos dog was one of the most intelligent and "in tune" dogs I've ever owned. Loved that dog.

Outside of that, I'll stick with what I know and thats the Hammonds Rufus/Alligator stuff.

The smartest dog i ever saw was this dog that we owned. Super slick wrestling head dog that knew how to stay out of trouble. He would also side step dogs when they scratched to avoid being slammed into the corner and would jump on their head. So smart he wore dogs down, frustrate them and then would finish in the throat.

Jethro produces intelligent dogs.

The smartest dog I ever owned was half-sister to Meshack, who himself held that title until she arrived. Owning them both was like having young kids running around with collars.

She was sired by Jethro to CGD’s Dirty Maria. She possessed human intelligence problem solving techniques and was one very impressive bulldog. Just my opinion.

My own dogs are the smartest I have ever been around. They are ringwise, tractable, and overall have good judgment. They will not hit everything that moves, are generally good with puppies, and are just a pleasure to be around. I have owned lot of dogs from a lot of different lines since my first in 1986, bred a fair number since 1990, and have not.had any finer than I have right now. Stupid dogs never had a place in.our program, and neither have dogs with questions as to their quality in any regard. We have moved out "yard baser" animals that many people would have been happy with because they had something about them that was not up to the standard. When you do that long enough, you end up with dogs that you really like on a very consistent basis.
