Are Border Collies Really the Smartest Dog Breed?

Sarah Vincent, in The AKC's annual list of popular dog breeds has some major changes, for the Good Housekeeping site (Life > Pets) Mar 20, 2025, advises us of the 2024 listing as:
1. French bulldog; 2. Labrador retriever; 3. Golden retriever; 4. German shepherd dog; poodle.

The afore-designated author divulges as upcomingly popular Kerry blue terrier, Bracco italiano, German pinscher, American Staffordshire terrier, Bedlington terrier and Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever.

The Vincent article never mentions border collies!

Would The Royal Kennel Club annually write something similar about most and least wonderful breeds?

The Melsonby Hoard

There is not a negotiation between the finder's claim and the state. The state's representative makes a decision on the value. If there is any disagreement then a court could deal with the case, but I know of no case where any disagreement has occurred.

Socotra Cucumber Tree (Dendrosicyos socotrana): Isolated Isle's Weird Fantastic Vulnerable Tree

The computer crashed afore I conveyed another component of Socotra-cucumber drinkability and edibility.

Elsewhere, in my wizzley comment-box comments on Socotran frankincense, I imagine the Queen of Sheba and the Three Magi including Socotran frankincense among their items on their respective iterations to Bethlehem and to Israelite King Solomon's throne room.

Might the Queen of Sheba have munched upon Socotran cucumbers even as the afore-mentioned queen maintained her Sheba queendom -- in nowaday Yemen -- just a hop, a jump and a skip across the nowaday Sinai-Peninsula waters to the island Socotra?

Gifts for Vegetarians and Vegans for All Occasions

Vegan and vegetarian diets appeal to me.

For example, there are delicious, nutritious vegetarian- and vegan-hamburger alternatives.

Is it possible that such alternatives interest canine sentients?
Or might canine-sentient diets muster necessarily non-vegetarian, non-vegan, "real" meat?

The Melsonby Hoard

The fourth, Treasure trove paragraph to the first subheading, The Yorkshire Iron Age, advises us that "There was no treasure so the law of treasure trove did not apply.. Treasure trove is a legal status which is applied to gold and silver items discovered. Gold and silver items discovered are presumed to be the property of the one who buried them. If no owner can be proven they are the property of the crown. This does not mean that they are the personal property of the king b but they belong to the state. The discovery of gold and silver items must be reported promptly to the police. Neglect of this duty can be a crime. If treasure trove is proven the finder and the landowner share the market value, but failure to report promptly can be detrimental to entitlement to this share."

Does the market-value payment to the finder and the landowner divorce them from all dealings with gold- and silver-coin discoveries?

Dog and Cat Helper, the Pet Stroller

Your last imaged product line alerts us to the attractive braided rope tie.

That toy perhaps bears an Air Dog Squeakair Birthday Balls Dog Toy.

What does a canine sentient do with the braided-rope tie? Does he drag the handled loop or draw out the rope braids and ends?

Might he/she move around or munch on the birthday-ball toy?

Coroners are called only if there is a body, even if it 8s only a skeleton. The police have the responsibility of invoking the coroner.

French Christmas Traditions

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Your wizzley particularly appeals to me as someone who is of Romance language-speaking -- which includes French ;-D -- ancestry and who was in Louisiana. In fact, I bought my absolute favorite pullover with a Milky Way-solar system design there.

Regarding the bonfires, it always must matter with emergency-medical and fire departments nearby and ready in the event of a sudden movement in of inclement windiness!

Thank you for your comments below in answer to my previous observation and question.

So the detectorist contacts the landowner and the police. Your answer then elucidates that "There is a public official who needs to be informed by the police."

That answer also fits a coroner into the equation if the detectorist finds a body.

Who must call the coroner: the detectorist, the landowner, the police or someone else?

Museums are entitled to have first call on items discovered.

There has been a recent change in the law. To be counted as treasure an object must be two hundred years old and made partly of any metal, and it must be of some historical importance, this applies to the vast majority of ancient objects found, including ancient coins.

Rock-Haunting Ringtail Possum (Petropseudes dahli) of Groote Eylandt and Northern Australia

The paragraph under the Smit illustration, as sixth in-text image, advises us of rock-haunting ringtail possums arranging themselves into continuous body bridges where branches avoid adequate continuity or length.

Mightn't that make a magnificent, marvelous photograph for a lego or plush-toy display?

Mightn't that make a magnificent marvel if lego-toy displays managed to manifest such hand-paw to foot-paw maneuvers?

Safety is always important. Hours of labor go into the bonfires, but wind can alter the schedule.

The detectorist is only oblig3r to tell p9lice and landowner

The law requires that the police should be called. There is a public official who needs to be informed by the police. The coroner wl have to be informed if there is a body
