A premium identity system
for canine cognition.

Most “dog IQ” content measures one thing: how fast a dog obeys a human. That penalizes every dog whose intelligence points somewhere else — the nose, the perimeter, the loophole, the bond. Eight Dog Minds asks a better question: what kind of mind is your dog?

Many dog lineages were shaped for particular work, and that work rewarded particular forms of attention. The behavior you call “annoying” can echo that old work — a Ghost Job— still running in a modern living room. We don't tell you your dog is dumb. We tell you you're testing the wrong intelligence, then hand you a name for what your dog actually is: one of eight archetypes, read from behavior.

The system is science-informed, not scientifically discovered. In one large companion-dog study, breed explained about 9% of variation in the behaviors measured; other work finds meaningful average differences among breeds and working lineages. Eight Dog Minds organizes observable dimensions into a deliberate visual language of signs, colors, and sigils. Internally we call the whole cosmology The Codex of Canine Minds. The signs and colors are a pattern-language, not a truth claim. “Remembers” is metaphor for historical echoes in attention and motivation; the archetype belongs to the individual dog in front of you.
