misty is a genius according to a doggie IQ test(it took her like 3 seconds to figer out a problem that was apperntly supoosed to take about 1 minute) perfected nearly every agility obstical in 20 minutes... well you get the idea lol happy is very very smart, but she could not be bothered with a doggie IQ test lol she is a workaholic, and not the doityourself type lol I tried to teach her how to hide, I put tape above her eye, and she just stared at me like, "I aint movin till ya get this thing offa me" perky is rather smart too, well very smart actually, she is very good at problem solving, to prove that, well my dad put a chunk of cheese on top of the scanner, which was at the very top of the shelved computer desk, and moved the computer chair. perky pushed the chair to the desk, used it to climb onto the desk, climb up, and take the cheese off the scanner! Ripley on the other hand is a dork, lol he is not the sharpest tool in the shed to put it bluntly, blair is smart but not as smart as the border babies, and shadow is pretty smart too, she tought herself everything she knows, including how to ask to be let out, how to ask to come in, what volume she should bark at certain times, how many times she should bark etc..
