Why don't we breed great apes like we breed dogs?

We could select for intelligence, and eventually one would develop sapience.

Great apes have more complicated courtship rituals than dogs. By the time they got even a little smarter it would be really fucked up.

Why start with apes when we already select intelligence in dogs?
Dogs aren't much dumber than apes and they have an ungodly reproductive advantage (litter size, maturation rate) over apes. Plus with dogs you could publish it as a novel result.

We selected for lack of intelligence and obedience in dogs by domesticating them. Coydogs or other wilder dog breeds are much smarter than pet dogs. They look back at you into your soul
