So, we all know conformation, working ability/drive, health and temperament are considerations when deciding to breed a dog. But what about intelligence? Intelligence is genetic, after all. Does anyone take that into consideration when choosing a mate for your dog? Would any of you decline to breed a litter because one or both parents are otherwise qualified to breed, but are dumb as a crate of hammers?
