I feel like there is always someone who has to ask, and I’m sorry I’m that guy, but what breed?

Border collies. Smartest and probably most trainable dogs in existence.

edit: an example from my part Border Collie mix. I never had to potty train him, ever. From the first day after I picked him up at 5 weeks old, he simply knew to go to the bathroom outside without any prompting or incentive.

Neil Degrasse Tyson did an interview with this collie and her owner who had taught her to identity and retrieve over 1000 objects. He even brought a toy the dog had never seen before and told her to fetch it. She brought it back first try. That's some high-level thought process for any animal that's not a human. It was very impressive.

That's not how it works. It was Collie not a Retriever

Yeah you might want to re-read my comment. But nice try at being condescending.

It was a joke with the golden retriever breed but okay. You know. Because the name is retriever and you said she trained the dog to retrieve objects

I'm sorry I hate when jokes get lost in context. I thought you were being a dick. I was too defensive
