 <title>Is My Dog Smarter Than Yours?</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/my-dog-smarter-yours</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;paragraph_style_2&quot;&gt;We all know dogs are smart. They can be trained to do amazing things--help the blind, assist with search and rescue, and even predict seizures in humans before they occur. Are some dogs really smarter than others? And does it really matter? I give all of my dogs an A+ for their unconditional love. Of course in my highly opinionated opinion, I also think all my canine pals over the years were very smart. I’m certain one of our pups received her Canine Good Citizen award more from her talents than mine. So can you test your dog’s IQ? Veterinarian Dr. Debbye Turner on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/04/07/earlyshow/contributors/debbyeturner/main3998362.shtml&quot; title=&quot;http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/04/07/earlyshow/contributors/debbyeturner/main3998362.shtml&quot;&gt;The Early Show at CBS.com&lt;/a&gt; shows just how a new IQ test for dogs called the  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.poochiq.com/&quot; title=&quot;http://www.poochiq.com/&quot;&gt;Pooch IQ Kit&lt;/a&gt; works. (You can watch the CBS segment in the widget on my blog.) Available online for $49.99, the Pooch IQ Kit includes a testing booklet with 15 exercises, a scoring key, detailed IQ explanations, dog toys and puzzles; several challenging props. I’m not sure how scientific this IQ test is, but it sounds fun. And isn’t sharing canine bonding time what makes living with your dog so special. To read my Momathon Blog post go to &lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://web.mac.com/chriscocomedia/Momathon/Momathon_Blog/Entries/2008/4/8_Testing_Your_Dog%E2%80%99s_IQ_.html&quot;&gt;http://MomathonBlog.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
