TOP 7 Smartest Dog Breeds in the World
7. Australian Shepherd
The Australian Shepherd is a dog who keeps the family together, having exceptional instincts. Some of his main qualities include intelligence, vigilance and protection of property and people. These dogs are agile, strong and active, both physically and mentally. The trouble is that they get bored easily.
6. Rottweiler
Strong and powerful, the Rottweiler is extremely vigilant as a watchdog, being difficult to manage if you don't train him properly. Rottweilers need vigorous walks at least twice a day; if you don't have enough time to spend outside, it's better to avoid this breed. They can become aggressive because of the lack of exercise.
5. Papillon
This cute dog having the ears in the shape of a butterfly is much smarter and stronger than most people think. Often described as big dogs in small bodies, they are very athletic, which makes them good companions on long roads.
4. Labrador Retriever
The Labrador is one of the world's most popular breeds, being the perfect choice for a family with children. This breed is known for its intelligence, affection, patience and kindness. These dogs are very easy to train, having a loving and kind temperament.
3. Shetland Sheltie Shepard
Shetland Sheltie Shepard is another dog who shows his commitment, learning easily the owner's commands. In fact, he needs to be sure all the time that family members are safe and all together. These dogs are extremely devoted to their owners.
2. Doberman Pinscher
One of the best watchdogs, the Doberman has an innate courage and great power. Because of his intelligence, this dog is very easy to train. Despite of his impressive appearance, the Doberman is quite gentle and obedient.
1. German Shepherd
Brave, smart and protective, the German Shepard is the most reliable partner. He learns your commands after a few repetitions and is always ready to learn more and more new orders.

Post a CommentNot that it is important in the grand scheme of things, but please do more research to see the correct list of intelligent (I like to say "easy to train") doggies. I advise anyone to do his/her homework before taking on a Border Collie.....or any other intelligent, working breed! Many want a smart dog, adopt one, then find they are destructive, being cooped up in the house 9-5, so to the pound the dog goes, and it was a very good dog indeed, just the wrong home environment. Count on hours per day of exercising, agility or herding to be bequeathed to a Border Collie, they also excel at police work, rescue and more.
This list is not correct. How could you possibly miss what is by common consent the #1 srmartest breed of all? The Border Collie is far and away the most intelligent, intuitive, even brilliant, dog of all...bar none. I have met a few and to see them work leaves me speechless....I am humbled by the so obvious intellect and intuition they display...both their minds and bodies move oh, so fast.Just look into a Border Collie's eyes - their sharp gaze defies description. The #2 breed is the poodle - looks are deceiving!...and the German Shepard, very smart indeed, is #3. #4 is the Golden Retreiver, #5 is the Doberman, #6 is the Sheltie, #7 is the Labrador, then the Rottweiler, Papillon and the Australian Cattle Dog. I will say that Schnauzers are pretty smart too - had one in the family...and Wagner certainly had his own little mind, lol. But remember - smart does not mean that is the best doggie for you...Border Collies are very special, but they are not generally house dogs, they ar
My parents always had German Shepherds and they were smarter than some people!
Not sure about the others, but I know my German shepherd was an amzingly intelligent breed.
great list
I've always heard labs were smart.
Very accurate!
