Principle: The size of a dog's skull is directly proportional to its IQ.
A dog's IQ is related to its owner's instruction. Just like a child, you can't become a talent without studying.
Researchers published a paper in the latest issue of the British New Scientist, saying that research shows that dogs can not only recognize acquaintances and looks. Their IQ may be higher than human imagination, and they can even recognize abstract concepts.

Extended data
As the earliest domesticated livestock, the existence and evolution of dogs are inextricably linked with the development of human civilization. Westerners praise it with exquisite works of art and regard it as the most loyal guardian. However, the status of dogs in China has always been very low. This can be seen from the archaeological discoveries unearthed in China.
The most anticipated thing is that a large number of mammalian fossils were found in Zhoujiayoufang, Yushu County, Jilin Province, China, that is, the Late Pleistocene of Paleolithic Age, about 26,000 BC-0/000 BC. In addition to human fossils, there are also "semi-fossils" of domestic dog skulls.
Although some people think it belongs to Pleistocene animal fossils, more experts think it is the remains of Holocene or modern animals. This remains of domestic dogs in the Paleolithic period can show that residents in Northeast China have begun to domesticate dogs. In other words, domestic dogs in Northeast China appeared in the late Paleolithic period, about 1 10,000 years ago.
The primitive humans in Northeast China were Tunguska Mongols, so it is reasonable to think that the ancestors of Donghu, Rong, Di and Su Shen domesticated dogs, among which Rong was a famous dog-raising clan.
