Is the Crossbreed more Intelligent?
Let us take a look now to the psychology and the intelligence of the crossbreed dog. While the dog of pure race enters to be part of a family that has bought it and elect when it was even puppy, the crossbreed dog he has to carry out an instinctive effort to adapt and he has the need to develop the art of being able to win some sympathy and a plate of soup.
The necessity to survive from the end of the second month of life, the crossbreed dog develops his intuition quickly and adapt to different situations. It cannot remain under a couch hoping somebody prepares him the food, it has to avoid the wheel of a car, he has to avoid the blows of the hooligans and, on the contrary, it should recognize the places and people that tolerate it and to begin friendships that allow him to survive. Then, in the measure in that should confront the day to day fight for the survival, not only the psychology differs of that of the dogs with better luck, not alone its eclecticism allows him to appear more a wake and nice but rather, also, they appear also evidences of the instincts of the hunt, of the wisdom, of the submission or, sometimes, of the proud independence. For this reason it is generally attributed a sharp intelligence to the street dog that serious but versatile than the dog of race, but that superiority only owes herself to the lived experience. Let us remember that the dog of race, although we should not consider him a gentleman, he is almost always specialized in specifies activity: the German shepherd in the defense, the bracco in the hunt, the maemmano of the Abruzzi in the flock guide, the Greyhound in the rabbit hunting and in races, the Malamute of Alaska in throwing of the sleds, etc., while the crossbreed dog knows some of everything" without deepening in anything. It is a self taught and for that reason he makes good paper in many occasions: for that reason it seems more intelligent.
With everything, it is not necessary to exclude the possibility that an average dog can have equivalent guardian qualities to those of a Doberman that is to say so good hunter as a setter. But those they are particular cases and, mainly, they are qualities that will disappear with the animal, without being able to be transmitted but that in a minimum part. On the other hand, the dogs of race, exactly because they have been driven in a precise way through the selection, they will transmit to their descendant all their specialization to remember a quality that is exclusively of the crossbreed dog it is enough with mentioning to the dogs that are used to look for truffles and that they don't usually belong to a race but rather they are impure without possibility of misunderstandings. If they have been well trained they will know how to exhume the truffles, but they won't transmit their experience to their children, which would rot, by the way, to have a mediocre sense of smell.
