I agree with you....the Nigerian local breed is so mixed that their breed can not be recognised....for instance, my Dog is a product of the local Nigerian Bingo but after adequate care and proper feeding looks more like a rotweiller.....

chronique: Yea,I can relate with the alsatian and rottweiler's level of intelligence and I agree that the alsatian is more intelligent than the rott. I noticed it while training one of my dogs way back. The dog was a mix of alsatian and rottweiler. It didn't respond to commands as fast as the pure alsatians responded to commands when I was training them. Secondly,it was always lagging behind when it had to do mental work. For example,the alsatians were always the first to bark and alert me when power has been restored,water tank gets full,family member knocks at the gate or doorbell/intercom at the gate rings. Ordinarily,I would have thought that a mix of both breeds would make it more intelligent but I was wrong. The intelligence of the alsatian cannot be overlooked and it will always make it,a very popular breed even in years to come. I noticed a lot of people are going for boer bulls these days cos of the size and intimidating looks but in terms of security,intellect should be placed far above looks. My alsatians then,were so alert that they could pick up faintest of sounds from over 120 ft. I say this cos d property was built on a plot measuring 120 x 60 feet and usually,we come out in the evening to relax and take fresh air and we put our seats close to the wall,at the back of the house and the dogs seat by our side. All of a sudden,their ears will stand up firm and alert,they'd look at themselves and run very fast(like they're chasing someone),towards the gate. When they get there,they bark and their barks,would tell you if it's a family member or a visitor that's at the gate. The bark for a family member is quiet and calm and you can count it. One bark per time,in a mild tone. If it's a stranger,it's usually fast,loud,agrresive and continuous. You'd even hear them jumping on the gate(trying to force their way out to attack/chase the intruder).

Amefrica: :/ Where's Great Dane and Bull Mastiff

ItsModella:
Basenjis don't bark, they yodel. If a dog barks, it isn't a basenji. It might be a half-breed but definitely not a pure basenji.

The ekukes I know bark.

chucky234: All breed bark,the Basenji is of African origin and thats ekuke.

Ishilove:
Wow...intelligent. The most intelligent thing my dog, named Ruggedman, ever did was opening the gate with his fore paws. He was an expert at gate opening, sneaking off to go and eat grass, marking the area with his urine and shit, playing around a bit then coming back home to sleep. However, he is now too old to play. All he ever does now is eat, shiit and sleep.

I'm sorry that dog looks nothing like a Rottweiler, don't be decieved by the black colour, even from a distance, you can tell that dog is a proper Nigerian bingo, the type that can detect human faeces from 10 miles away.

Those dumb/slow dogs, I thought you'd even call the Irish Setter- now thats a Smarter Dog.
The great dane is just big for nothing to me, its not known for aggression, its not a sharp learner, its a really slow dog(its size does'nt help issues).
The Bull Mastiff has a tendency to be very Lazy no matter how active its master is, its just in its genes.

Hahahahaaaa. . .At least we know that "Bingo" is loaded with such native intelligence as:

1) Crossing busy city roads;

2) Fending for itself as owners never chop belle-full reach to feed Bingo;

3) Fathering seeeeeveral puppies in the neighborhood with ANY breed of dog;

4) Avoiding capture and being turned into Pepper Soup by peeps from certain tribes in Nigeria;

5) Barking when spirits are passing. . .

. . .And so on! LOL!

baynix: Nice!! Buh it's forbidden in My Muslim Family!!

canuck:

LOL! Bingo is a name, not a BREED

But if you mean The Mongrel (pictured below), the local dogs common in Nigeria, that is a mixed-breed dog that belongs to no single organizationally recognized breed, and therefore excluded from the ranking.

sarutobie: OP I think the jack russel should be somewhere on that list..and isn't the labrador and golden retriever close cousins?..didn't know the roth was intelligent enough to make the list.Enlightening all the same.
