But even for human beings, IQs vary greatly. Therefore, even though they are both border pastoralists, they cannot be generalized.

2) High obedience. is like a smart kid who is not necessarily obedient. IQ is innate, and obedience is determined by personality, so it is not a dog breed with high IQ, obedience must be good; or a dog with high obedience must be smart, but Bianmu has both of these advantages. This is also the reason why working dogs like Bianmu can become very suitable family companion dogs.
