Matthews Alive was ALIVE!

The Critter Crew had a wonderful, very hot, and busy weekend in Matthews last weekend at Matthews Alive. Although our pictures do not show it (they were taken before everything started), record crowds were reported for the festival held annually in beautiful downtown Matthews. Pet lovers of all types of animals were delighted to see all of lines of pet products. One of the things we said over and over was - "When we say Critters, we mean Critters."

One of the things we realize when we are doing festivals and shows is that different cities, towns or areas tend to have one or two main breeds. In Matthews, the two dog breeds mentioned the most often were the Border Collie and Pug. Unfortunately, the festival did not allow owners to bring their dogs. Fortunately, some owners did anyway. We are happy to share a couple of them with you.



We love seeing and hearing about all breeds.

Canine Mensa Members

Featured on the CBS "Early Show" recently was a story about canine intelligence. They published a list of the top ten smartest, as well as, the 10 dumbest breeds. The lists come partly from the book, The Intelligence of Dogs, by Dr. Stanley Coren and partly from evaluations by over 200 dog obedience judges from the US and Canada. Today, we will focus only on the ten Smartest breeds.

The 10 Smartest Dogs

10. Australian Cattle Dog

9. Rottweiler






8. Papillon







7. Labrador Retriever






6. Shetland Sheepdog






5. Doberman Pinscher








4. Golden Retriever







3. German Shepherd







2. Standard Poodle







and the smartest dog is...
1. Border Collie

As I look at this list, it pops out that most of the breeds Dr. Coren has listed come from working or herding dogs. Several of these breeds, from my experience, are easy to train to perform a multitude of tasks ranging from simple to complicated.

Disagree with the good Doctor? Test your dog yourself. Have fun and find out your dog's intelligence level by purchasing the PoochIQ Kit. I have linked it here for you to check out.

Where Does Your Dog Sleep Each Night?

In a recent poll conducted by the AKC, they asked that question.
So, where does your dog sleep? Here are their results.

36% In my bed
24% It's free to sleep anywhere inside the house
22% In a crate
14% In a dog bed
4% Outside the house


I know in our home we feel very fortunate. Our dogs allow us to share their bed with them.
