Talk:The Intelligence of Dogs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
My dog is #2 and my girlfriend's #67. I love this book. -- Toytoy 13:35, Sep 4, 2004 (UTC) It can get pretty subjective and personal("my Hound is stupid?") but, even considering breeding traits, there are just some breeds that exhibit more ability to reason,remember--sort of a brainy energy--than other breeds--sorry.
[edit] Criticism not NPOV
While dog intelligence as a whole can be disputed, the criticism section for this article needs to be rewritten to cite sources which claim these ideas. —Rob (talk) 17:04, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- I removed the section & merged some of it into dog intelligence. Elf | Talk 17:19, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Doubting veracity
Removed this comment from the article:
Stanley Coren is somewhat infamous for making up some of his "research," particularly in his book/novel THE LEFT-HANDER SYNDROME. Nothing he has to say about dogs should be taken without a large, very large grain of salt.--Lee Charles Kelley 20:48, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- If there's some reliable reference that can be cited to this effect, it's worth a note in the article. Elf | Talk 20:54, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Is this purely promotion?
My problem is that it's not encyclopedic, but just a resume of a book that's on the market. POV all over. I think it should be deleted. Tony 13:53, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
- Dr. Coran has made the subject of the book one of the major parts of his reseach. This book is one of the major results of that. It is probaly where most folks first learn of the subject cmacd 15:29, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
