The Beowolves Ruby fought in the Red Trailer isn't dumb, they just didn't expect Ruby to be so strong that numbers were completely meaningless. So it's reasonable to think that the Beowolves in Emerald Forest also has some level of intelligence at least.

Though you are right, these ones are probably at the 'dumb beast' level especially since this is a controlled environment.
