That's how smart they are

Cooper is obsessed with sticks (or should I say branches), the bigger the better. In this video you can see him gauge the branch for the center of gravity before he carries it to his favorite spot, proud AF, haha. There is definitely a thinking character inside

Well done Cooper, that's a massive branch! He even looks proud of his work at the end.

It's amazing to watch them think and problem solve

That’s awesome, you can actually see him thinking it through. The way some of these dogs problem-solve just blows me away. Cooper looks proud of himself too, like he knows exactly what he’s doing

You nailed it, there’s definitely a working brain behind those eyes. That kind of focus and precision is what makes them so fun (and sometimes exhausting) to live with.
