Not all dogs within one breed have the same level of intelligence. Some dogs will be smarter than others, it depends how willing the individual dog is to learn.

Dobermanns are also very strong dogs, having been bred for protection.

You believe you have a thai ridgeback Can anyone help you find out for sure?
This is a very rare breed and it is unlikely that you happened upon one unless you got it from a breeder. Thai ridgebacks are not Rhodesian Ridgebacks but do have the same unusual backwards growing crest of hair along their spine. DNA testing will tell you for sure.
