How trainable is your basset? That ranking goes to obedience . The one I see on a regular basis is definitely dumb in the untrainable sense. I also have to agree that beagles are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down there. Try to get one to stop barking. As for the kind of intelligence we are used to, problem solving, I wonder if Leagl's corgis are more closely matched. My family has a dog who is an absolute genius to the point where he seems lije a small child. He conveys his thoughts with facial expressions, his head and paws and with different sounds. He was sort of in the middle on obedience, which is probalby right. But I think thats cuz he does what he wants to do and knows not to buy into the human boss bs. Maybe the obedience intelligence is inverse to problem solving intelligence.
