I'm sure you could breed "super intelligent humans" but I wonder what unintended consequences would be introduced.

My own border collie as a child had to be put down because he would not stop worrying livestock on nearby farms.

I feel a visceral reaction to your last sentence.

Did it not occur to you that perhaps your Border Collie could be adopted away from farm animals, to a person who could afford it the time to train it to be focused and calm around people and animals.

Perhaps I misunderstand something about the circumstances?

Possibly, but I was 6 at the time.
