    LOL, definitely an Irish Setter.

    It’s a heck of a concept. What would be your favorite way to be tortured? I have no clue!

    A little Googling tells me the breed became so popular in the ’60s and ’70s that overbreeding damaged the stock and led to the reputation they are “dumb”. Supposedly this is no longer the case. (I offer this defense only in the interest of truth since I am much more a cat person.)

    I took a test about which dog I am. St Bernard. :)

    “Go away.” Do I have to spell it out for you?

    I’d have to say Siberian Husky. They are adorable but totally clueless. They come with a perpetual head tilt, with an additional virtual question mark floating over their heads.

    In response to such pushy, rude questioning. I’d have been tempted to pick a different breed and spell it out as “$#i+’s YOU.”

    Who knows where or if Mallett does his research? Setters have a number of traits good and bad (as with most of us); but poor memory is not on the list. I’ll grant that puppy mills can cause problems anytime a breed becomes socially popular; but aside from the exercise and grooming, their memory is considered good.

    The problem with the memory seems to be combined with their training. They can pick up bad habits; and it’s hard to break them. Good traits are also life-long.

    This is similar to the thing where dog owners tend to resemble their dogs. Wild…

    I only have one requirement if I were to be turned into a dog. It is that I become some little old ladies lap dog. I’ve had four lap dogs in this life and they all been spoiled rotten by my wife.

    I find it easier to rule out several options. Breeds that were clearly not bred with their well-being in mind, such as the pug.

    Dummest dogs I’ve ever encountered have all been Irish Setters. Not the right choice for you, Caufield.

    Golden Retriever. It may be why they are also the happiest dog in the world.

    Most dogs have bad memories. Show them love or give them food and they forget that you’re human.
