Foo - Indications that your dog is an idiot

!. Spends cast amounts of time chasing birds that fly overhead.

2. Spends vast amounts of time barking at birds that fly overhead.

You got something against birds?

chases after coyotes thinkin they're playmates

You got something against birds?

No, that's just the point. We can't even put feeders out anymore because it makes the dog nuts; and he's taught this skill to the younger dog, so now we have 2 bird obsessed idiots out there, making the world safe for seeds.

my dog isn't an idiot, but is a complete ****. she is always sooo excited and excitable. I think she's on crack.

how about chasing thier tails?

men chase tails too...they just aren't their own

she likes me, nuff said.

My dog is the happest dog ever, what kind of dog loves going to the vet once a month to get a shot??

The vet spoils him with treats!!!

I think the most stupid dog around is the Red Setter. They always appear to be mental.

and poodles...well....they just LOOK stupid

Go look at a Chow.....I'm pretty sure the first dog of that breed ever was made by impregnating another dog with a half sperm/paintchip hybrid sperm. that or the uterus of the Chow produces lead.

There was that classic Far Side cartoon on how to identify the moods of an Irish Setter... I'd post it here, but I think Gary Larson has been fighting reproduction of his work on the Internet.

I used to have a dog in Vancouver that would spend HOURS chasing swallows in the park. The funny thing is that the swallows seemed to be playing with him -- they'd fly just above his reach, right over his head, and would take turns doing so... A sure sign that the birds were smarter than the dog :rolleyes:

yes yes yes. My gosh they look stupid. I think the owners play a big part of it also.

I had an Irish setter growing up and he was completely out of his melon. Too many insane, hysterical behaviors he had to run through now but I'll mention a small list of the things he ate, some of them on a regular basis.

Bars of Irish (coincidence?) Spring soap, a tub of vaseline, packs of my Mother's cigarettes, coffee beans, barbeque hickory chips, various prescription medications, candles, knitted winter hats, and generally anything fit for human cosumption that my family neglected to conceal behind several circles of elaborate security measures.

God I miss him and dream of him to this day :( .

Barn swallows do seem to take sport at tormenting my GSDs; the bird thing is the older dog's only true idiot behavior. Younger one likes to eat: cigarette lighters, k-nex pieces, bike helmets, wood, phillips head screwdrivers (leaves the flatheads alone), flat pedals, and gatorade water bottles (just the green ones).

I have a good dog. I'm sure he would be better if he were to stop bumping his head into everything. One time he was chasing/playing with my in-laws dog. Being a smaller dog, she is able to take tighter turns. She cut right, he tried. Smacked head first into a porch column, took a step back and was full speed ahead. Either he has a hard head or has killed all the outermost braincells.

My old dog chased planes that flew overhead.

My friends dog can actually jump around 4feet in the air to catch a bird and eat it. It's like a cat when it comes to birds.

My dogs mixed it up with a porcupine. It was so bad I ended up taking them to the Vet to have the quills removed. One week later, the porcupine was back and the dogs went for round two with the same results. I ended up having to trap the porcupine and move it far away from the house since the dogs were too stupid to leave it alone.

I had a toy poodle when I was a kid that used to run full tilt through the house and knock itself out cold by running smack into the wall! He wasn't blind and had no health issues. Pierre was just plain a stupid dog!http://www.diegotorres.com.ar/mensajeitor/foro/caritas/erstaunt090.gifhttp://livepencil.com/images/poodle_white.gif

One time I surprised the dog my family had growing up by coming over the back fence from a neighbor's yard. I think he was sleeping or something, but by the time I jumped down and looked at him he was barking in midair, did what I can only describe as a half back flip and landed on his head. He yelped several times while laying on the ground for a few minutes and then and slowly walked into his dog house with his tail between his legs as if he were embarrassed. I have never seen an animal do something quite so bizarre.

My dad could also get him to run headlong into trees by swinging a rope in a semicircular pattern ending at the trunk of a tree. The dumb old mutt would chase it and crash into the tree. If you did it in a straight line he wouldn't fall for it, but he couldn't deal with the curved paths. This was discovered quite by accident and repeated for the amusement of friends and visitors on occasion for several years till the old boy finally figured out that chasing ropes = crash.

My current dog doesn't do anything specifically dumb, he just acts weird and gets overly excited regularly. That makes people think he's dumb, but I know he's not. :)

My friend had a cat that would do that. She would be laying on the ground, completely content and suddenly jump up and run full speed straight into a wall. She did it all the time, probably 3 or 4 times a week. We think she was mentally ********. She had 6 toes on each of her feet. Inbred maybe?

:D I guess our dog isn't an idiot. The first time we had her on our boat, she was overwhelmed with a bunch of ducks that were swimming around a few yards away. Growling and yipping. I finally said, "Okay stupid, you wanna go get the ducks? Go get the ducks!" She launched into the water, swam like mad, the ducks swam away, then finally took flight. Dog turned around and swam back to the boat and never bothered with waterfowl again. :)

(And yeah, getting a dog onto a boat in the water is... Challenging.)

My room mate's dog has stupid moments. The other night I came home and was pulling my trombone out of the trunk and she was outside with my room mate, so she comes running up, and smacks her head right on my trombone case, which is in my left hand. I'm closing the trunk lid, so I just heard a big thump.

Oh and she's completely scared of: laundry baskets, plastic bags, ratchets, trombones, antennas, my drums

did I mention she's a pitbull?
