Well, like people, you can't paint all animals with the same brush. Not all "show breeds" are inbred to the point of retardation; the risk is just higher with some than others.
Even though ours was dumb as nails, I loved it (I was 12, what'd I care if it tore up everything? Well, except the time he ate my allowance money). I still remember the "Hey, where ya goin?" look on his face as we walked away from the pound.
But on a happier and ironic note; I now have two dogs. Both are mutts (both rescued, so not entirely sure what they have in them) and they're both way too smart. It gets annoying being outsmarted by dogs...I should probably stop underestimating them.
