I wasn't trying to insult you maggiecarp i had just thought considering wild animals and domesticated animals the same thing in this context might be off kilter a bit. Especially with animals that exist in our social atmosphere. Not because I believe there might be anything significant there, but just because I'm not sure enough to say anything.

Anyway, most domesticated animals are bred for looks more than brains, although it is interesting that border collies are considered the "Smartest".
