10 smartest breeds

border collie

Some breeds are known for their appearance, others for their personality, and the ones we will mention are famous for their intelligence! These are dogs that learn to open the fridge to get their favorite treat. These are the breeds that will easily outwit you and take advantage of you if you dare to fool around. With them, it won't be a problem to learn new tricks and they won't get angry if you make some training more difficult.

Here are 10 breeds that will always keep you on your toes because of their intelligence:

10. Australian cattle

In 10th place is Australian cattle. One of the many sheep breeds on this list. These dogs are intelligent, fast and active. They excel at competitions in categories such as Agility and Dog Frisbee.

9. Labrador retriever

8. Jack Russell terrier

Because of their incredible learning ability and excellent work ethic, many JRTs have been used in movies and TV shows. Most importantly, there's Moose who played Eddie in Fraiser. If there is a way to learn something, the Jack Russell Terrier will learn it.

7. Rottweiler

Rottweiler

Although primarily a guard dog, the Rottweiler is a smart dog and is used for many purposes. On many sites, forums and in the comments, one can read that he is a "guard for the dumps", due to movie stereotypes. This is far from the truth, the Rottweiler is actually a very intelligent dog that was originally a herding dog.

6. Shetland Shepherd

Setlandski ovcar

A small shepherd dog known for its intelligence, energy and that it gets bored very easily. Don't worry, if you don't let him do something, he'll find a hobby for himself... for example, he'll open the cupboards and eat everything, maybe he'll play with your new pillows - he always finds a hobby. Like the Border Collie, it excels in various competitions.

5. Doberman Pinscher

Doberman Pinscher

A breed used by the police and military. Dobermans are smart, loyal and love to work - which makes them easy to work with dressage. A breed that loves consistency and precision. They excel in obedience competitions and can often be seen training as personal guard dogs (defense/attack).

4. Golden retriever

Zlatni Retriver

With his adorable attitude that he wants to please everyone, he is easily trained for any job, whether it's a therapy dog, service dog or agility. Of course, maybe only basic obedience is enough for the ultimate family dog. Be careful, because he will always use his wits to get food - make sure you have a trash can!

3. German Shepherd

Njemački ovčar

Not only does he look intimidating, but his intelligence makes it easy to train at the high levels required for the jobs he does most often. It also excels in obedience, service dog work or search and rescue. Almost anything a dog can do, the German Shepherd does it better!

2. Poodle

Pudla

Poodles are always in the fight for that first place. Originally trained for hunting, they now excel in any dog sport. Also, their calm nature makes them excellent therapy and service dogs.

1. Border Collie

Border Collie

There is no website or magazine where the Border Collie is not in the first place of the most intelligent breeds. They are thought to have the intelligence of a two-year-old child and to be able to learn and recognize over 100 words. Smart, quick and love to work. They are excellent at everything – shepherding, obedience, agility, throwing frisbees, and even searching. They can also be therapy dogs.

 

It is important to note that EVERY breed, not just these 10, can learn a lot. It is up to the owner how much effort and patience he will invest in his dog 😊

At the end of the working day, when the muzzle is tired from learning new tricks and training, then it should rest. It's the best at Woff Woff Bean Bag beds 😊
