Idk what you think you're trying to refute, Idk if you just didn't read the topic and just jumped in at the end, but if your post leads to the conclusion that you can increase the average intelligence of a breed of dog by targeted breeding, then all you're doing is agreeing with me. Ask yourself, has breeding dogs to be more intelligent made them more intelligent? If yes, then you're just agreeing with me. Ok? This may, again, be intuitive to you, but it is not actually logical.
