Ancedotal, again. My mother had a mutt that was so neurotic he scratched his ear off. We have a chihuahua that is so moronic he keeps walking UNDER our feet, and jumping on the seat right before we sit down on it. And some kind of beagle mix that eats her own shit, pees on the floor and drinks it up, and constantly tries to swallow rocks whole.
She got all those mutts from the local pound that were on death row. Most mutts you meet in shelters are the cream of the crop, the 2% best that don't get euthanized.
My husky is the smartest dog I've ever met, he constantly challenges me to be one step ahead of him, knows he doesn't have to do shit without reward (what am I gonna do, punch him? That's a good way to turn him neurotic). Knows the difference betweenbeing on a lead or off, how to manipulate doors like it's nothing. Never mind when we're sledding, he plans for obstacles three steps ahead. And is extremely obedient when he knows it's for our own safety,and extremely disobedient when he knows I'm making a bad decision.
I've never, ever, in my life seen a mutt that did that. But again, that's just personal experience, I'm sure some other anonymous will chime in with the mostest brillantest mutt ever.
If the purebred dogs you've seen are all neurotic or high strung, you've only met 1) Backyard Breeder Purebreds, 2) Shitty owners that don't exercise their dogs nearly enough.
My husky is supposed to be this ADD crazy fucker dog that everyone says not to get! And yet he's sleeping by my side as usual, not getting into trouble, not being all ADD. Why? Because he's properly exercised physically and mentally.
It's not rocket science.
