Mongrels 'smarter than their pedigree chums'.

Abstract
Mongrels are cleverer than pedigree dogs, according to research.
A study by Dr David Smith of Aberdeen University's department of animal sciences shows that crossbred dogs have better spatial awareness and problem-solving abilities than pedigrees, and are better suited for work as police dogs and as guides for the blind.
