response: Research has found that dogs contain mutations to show increases in social skills but lowered intelligence.
original_response: Haha, understood. And yes, German Shepherds are highly popular, as well. On another note, interestingly, new research has found that dogs have mutations to equivalent genetic regions in humans,where changes are known to increase sociability and lower intelligence!
history: I have three small dogs! They're adorable. Did you know they were the first to be domesticated? They are also been purposely bred over a thousand years for various uses. Wow really? I just bought mine from the breeder and didn't think too much about where they came from. Dogs have adapted to human's actions and can live with a starch diet unlike other canid animals. Yes, mine always seem to know when I am getting sick and they spend time with me. Yeah, have you ever thought of the various other purposes they provide for people? Dogs can hunt, herd, be a work animal, and even help the handicapped! No I have not, what else can you tell me. This is very interesting to learn.
knowledge: New research seems to show that dogs have mutations to equivalent genetic regions in humans where changes are known to trigger high sociability and somewhat reduced intelligence.
