Snoopy came from the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm, and that strip got started in the '50s. I don't know if it said that early that it was where he was from, but it was pretty early in the strip, anyway.

As for head size and intelligence, I would hesitate to draw too many links there. My cats are pretty bright, and they're smaller than a greyhound. Its less the size of the brain than it is the efficiency of what's crammed in there.

Actually, it's more the relative size of brain to body mass, as I understand it. Yes, your cats--and mine--are smarter than greyhounds but have smaller heads. But it's not by as much as their bodies are smaller than a greyhound's.
