I have a theory that dogs are getting more stupid.

Because well behaved dogs in good families tend to get neutered, because the family is responsible.
Meanwhile dogs in families that dont "care" and have misbehaved dogs tend to not care about them breeding.
This results in a large portion of mild mannered or smart dogs being removed from the genepool, and idiot dogs or even violent dogs having as many pups as possible.

Traits like low temperament or intelligence are removed slowly because the good dog thats in a good family gets castrated...

Also, since there is a lot of genetic bottlenecking, inherited mutations are causing dogs to become more and more autistic too.

>the good dog thats in a good family gets castrated
That doesn't sound like a good family. A good family would want their dog to be happy by helping it have as much sex as possible.

That sounds like a problem thankfully genetics don't apply to humans

don't they generaly castrate unruly or hormonaly imbalanced dogs?
I doubt a good family would main their own dog for no reason

veterinarians always try to talk people into castrating their dogs.
plus, it's already accepted as a fact in society that gouging your dog's balls is a good thing with no negatives, and something that should always be done.

my dog's pristine balls shall remain intact. ヽ(`Д´)ノ

a family dog of ours got fixed and afterward he had no energy and laid around all the time and got fat

i think, much like men, if you mess with their testosterone they end up soft and unhappy.

Haha, your complaint might be timeless — but dogs acting "stupid" is nothing new. History's full of canine mischief!

Ancient Mesopotamia (c. 2000 BCE) – In the Instructions of Shuruppak, a Sumerian wisdom text, dogs are listed among the loud, unruly animals that disturb the household. Even back then, they were apparently barking at shadows and chasing invisible spirits.

Classical Greece (c. 5th century BCE) – Xenophon’s Cynegeticus (On Hunting) praises dogs, but even he warns of “the foolish ones” who lose the scent or bark at trees instead of game. Nature's derpy hunting partners.

Medieval Europe (12th century) – In The Book of the Hunt by Gaston Phébus, some hounds are dismissed as “useless and scatterbrained,” including those who chase butterflies instead of boars.

Victorian England (1851) – Queen Victoria’s diary describes her beloved spaniel Dash jumping into a fountain during a formal event. Not quite the royal etiquette expected.

Early 20th Century (1910s) – In Jack London's Call of the Wild, some sled dogs, especially the pampered ones, are depicted as completely unfit for survival — one even tries to eat the sled harness.

So maybe dogs aren’t getting dumber. They've just always had their goofy side. Maybe we're just noticing it more now that they’re not chasing wolves or pulling sleds. 🐶
