"Sweet, but not very smart".... yes, that's what I've heard.
Yet I bet they seem to do things that indicate otherwise. I know my late dog Sully would sometimes surprise me in little ways. He was fairly well-trained for all the basics, but sometimes he would do something like go to the window and actually move the curtain aside with his snoot, and look out the window.
My first dog (when I was a teenager) used to jump up and ring the back doorbell when he wanted in. People would literally freak out when they found out it was the dog ringing the bell.
