The Most Overrated Breed of Dog?
(click picture to enlarge)
David McCandless charted dog breeds by six scores: intelligence, costs, longevity, grooming, ailments, and appetite.
The most overrated breed: the English Bulldog (top left outlier)
Hmmm! Haven't I heard a few rumor about health problems in the clumber spaniel, maybe also the dandy dimont terrier. Aren't basenjis generally inbred with some temperament peculiarities? Perhaps there's a reason some of these gems aren't appreciated. No quarrel with the bulldog and Frenchies' place on the grid.

There IS a cat in there - right under White Terrier.

I think it's interesting that the setters are considered "clever" and the Aussie "dumb."
