Gauging intelligence between the dog breeds is not always straightforward. Some dogs may learn commands more slowly than others but this can sometimes be down to stubborness rather than lesser levels of intelligence. And dogs that take more time to train don't necessarily have less intelligence than any others, they could simply be less eager and willing to learn. Here is a list of what we consider to be the most intelligent dog breeds:
Australian Cattle Dog
Australian Shepherd Dog
Belgian Groenendael
Belgian Malinois
Belgian Tervuren
Border Collie
Britanny Spaniel
Cardigan Welsh Corgi
Doberman Pinscher
English Cocker Spaniel
English Springer Spaniel
Flat Coated Retriever
German Shepherd
German Short Haired Pointer
Golden Retriever
