25 Smartest Dog Breeds Ever
Considered man´s best friends, dogs are known for their loyalty, desire to please; and of course, high intelligence. As valued members of our families, dog owners know that dogs are indeed intelligent, after all, they can be taught to do so many things! However, there are some striking differences among individual dog breeds when it comes to their level of intelligence. As you can probably imagine, measuring canine intelligence is very difficult but there is an internationally recognized study that has done just that. Published by Stanley Coren, a professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, the book is called “The Intelligence of Dogs” and based on this study, Coren also published a list ranking individual dog breeds by their level intelligence. This ranking is now generally accepted as a valid description of the differences among dog breeds in terms of the trainability aspect of dog intelligence. So now, is your pooch one of the smartest dogs in the world? There is only one way to find out. Read on to discover the 25 smartest dog breeds ever!

Border collies are amazing at judging things too. I was playing frisbee with my Border Collie Shilo and I threw the frisbee into the wind. Shilo instantly figured out which way the wind was blowing, ran in the opposite direction of where I threw the frisbee, sat down and waited. When the frisbee hit the wind and blew back it went exactly to where Shilo was sitting. He just sat there waiting and just jumped up from his sitting position and caught it. He knew the wind would take the frisbee and where it would go.
Border Collies Are beautiful Does he catch a boomerang too?😂
Irish Water Spaniel, english cocker spaniel, standard schnauzer, English springer spaniel!! 😍😍😍😍
I'm so happy to see the border collies at #1. I was blessed with a border collie/Aussie mix who breezed through basic obedience training in about two days. They really are smart dogs and just super companions.
As soon as i saw corgi on the list- this went out the window.
That moment when your dog is not there
Hahaha!!!
It's a bias list
Mine was (Keeshond)
Soes not meen nothin :D Without the Nr 1 Border Collie i would not trust this list 1 meter :).
It is the saddest moment in your life trust me I’ve been there. It hurts like hell when they pass away. 😢😭😭😭😭
My Jack Russell terrier was smarter than most people I've known ! I sure miss him . Bobby 2007 to 2020 R.I.P.
aw im sorry :(
Noooo I have one mixed with a German short haired terrior it’s so cute and he’s very good with me a kid 👧 u feel so bad 😫
R.I.P
R.I.P
I'm sorry for your loss
You totally left out the Australian Shepherd? Smart as any border collie and a great family pet as well.
Hello beautiful,how are you doing
Whoever here is scrolling through the comments, hope you had a good day
Thank you! .
You too!!!!!
Thank you
I did not but thank you
Thanks;D
I have a Rhodesian Ridgeback rescue and she's the smartest dog I've ever owned but she has attitude and is stubborn, so much like a naughty child.
A whippet was by far the smartest dog I ever owned (or had any dealings with). I've had two on this list, Cocker & Lab, neither very bright. Not only did he learn fast such as learning to sit, give a paw & stay within hours of settling into the family home at 12 weeks he also learned how to open doors (including his latched cage) on his own. He could find it's way home (including leading the way home off lead/leash to holiday homes returning to the car in new locations etc). He learnt lots of commands both speech & visual with the kids. The most impressive to me though was always how he would act with very young children. He liked to play rough with older kids (sharing a house with four teenagers) but was always so gentle & patient around toddlers. Unfortunately for us, he suffered from separation anxiety so when our situation changed & there wasn't somebody at home most of the time he became very stressed & he had to go to a home more suited for him.
I love my dogs. Thank you for this video. All 5 of my dogs are rescued dogs and they are mixes of many of the dogs in your list. Thanks again.
Ken Karnes zee a
I though the Australian shepherd would be here
+kara cash ya it should me
it is
kara cash it should be ours is extremely good
Jack Russell's?
Yeah cause i have one and she is extremely smart and strong she bended medal and found ways to get losse on walks
Being a dog trainer myself, I do honestly believe there is absolutely no fact based evidence for this video. The end.
Thank you
Can you give me advice how to keep dogs from killing chickens?
I love all the dogs that u showed,,,,,my dog is a mixed is half Australia n and pit bull,. She is very smart,,, she guard be me all the time,her name is mancha,,,,
a Labradoodle should be 1
Border collie?
i noticed that alot of people have mentioned the jack russell and so was i. I can't believe it's not on the list
I'm teaching my border collie to read and write. I hope to send him to kindergarten soon. Already young kids in our neighborhood are envious and worry about him competing with them in the classroom.
True story my dog signs cards and letters
y es.
Kira can't play the guitar. N
tapolna haha 😂 nice one
Lmao
Smartest dogs? My Norwegian Elkhounds are so smart, when they see a sign that says "WET FLOOR", they do!
How long did it take you to train them to do that? Pretty cool trick.
5610winston i have a Norwegian lundehund!
John Thomson
5610winston I have a Norwegian Elkhound mix. I know about the Elkhound. I believe he is mixed with a black lab because he is almost all black except for a white patch on his chest, his goatee, some brown around his ears, and the cause of his nickname, silver buns.
5610winston They do what?
My Boarder Collie sends me emails. Still poops the yard tho
My border collie is scared of cars, could be the fact that he’s 10 weeks old though
WOW COOL 🐶
where is the dog supposed to poop? Inside the house?
Lmao!!
@@lunafringe10 That would be great. I'd make him his own doggie toilet.
Jack russell's deserve to be on this list..
i have a German Shepard Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. He can do long division
Thats Funny
Hehehe
Hey! Me, too! But I'm not kidding when I say my German Ridgeback is extremely intelligent. Not to mention loyal, loving, protective and beautiful. I love my Boston Terriers but my Copper (my German Ridgeback's name) is the most exceptional animal I've ever seen. Peace!🐶
Can I see pics of your dog?
Paul Siciliano i believe u cause i have a RR and he is my most inteligent dog, n great security gaurd!
Australian Cattle Dog should be higher on the list. I've owned a variety of dogs for 60 years and my Blue Heeler is the smartest thing on four legs. She learned how to spell the words we didn't want to say in front of her so we started saying those things in Spanish and she has picked up on that! They aren't the most cuddly of dogs but loyal and faithful to the bone. I was very ill and in the bed for five years and this dog did not leave me. She went outside to take care of her business and to eat, but then right back beside me. Could not ask for a finer animal.
Nancy Bennett , I have a Blue Heeler that will charge the television if a dog is on the screen. She's recently picked up on dog food (among others) tv commercial background music and will wait for dogs to appear. This sounds cute, until you realize how many dogs are on the tube.
Nancy Bennett w
Nancy Bennett The Australian Cattle Dog Should Be first Right It Is So Smart
Witherd Chica I don't think heelers are as smart as border collies but I do think heelers should have a higher rank
Nancy you are 100% correct I too owned a ACD aka blue healer and next to the border collie the two breeds are by far the most intelligent breeds out there my dog as well was the most faithful and loyal as well got him at 10wks old he went everywhere with me was so well behaved he even went to work with me and nobody disapproved everyone who met him loved him he was raised to be gentle around people and would entertain the smallest of children by playing fetch with his favorite toy a tennis ball even with his gentleness with children and people he was also very protective if anything man or animal was a threat of harm he would attack to protect a bred trait not mentioned in the video he is sadly missed
the smartest dog i ever knew was my first service dog. she trained herself to do things for me. she was a mix of a shar pei and jack russell terrier. she was amazing!!
My Norwegian Elkhound is so smart, when the sign says WET FLOOR, he does.
Old English Mastiff!!!! I've had dogs in my family since I was an infant. For my birthday three years ago my husband brought home an 11 week old English mastiff my children named her Bella and she has become an absolute joy to the entire family since I am home with her while the kids are in school and my husbands at work she has bonded with me like superglue. I cannot believe the things I have seen Bella do. I speak to her like another human being and have done so since she was a baby/puppy. I don't know if that has anything to do with her current incredible level of intelligence but I can rattle off a three sentence request and she will comply as if she were another human being. I adored all breeds of dogs they are wonderful and we are very blessed that 10 to 15,000 years ago a somewhat docile wolf hung around the outside of our caves in order to access scraps from our meals. I never expected this beautiful mastiff to also be incredible I have no idea if she is an outlier in other words a fluke and maybe just a genius in her breed as I have never had another Mastiff. As I said earlier she has brought our entire family so much fun and delight... it's easy to love a dog when they are so easy to train understand everything you say and comply with your wishes in my 40 something years of life the only dog I had before Bella who was even close to her level of cognitive brilliance was a wonderful might who was half German Shepherd and half lab the latter part was the closest that our vet could guess but it was undeniable that she had a lot of shepherd in her she was a very smart dog yet nothing like this incredible mastiff call we are so lucky to currently have. My husband always wanted a mastiff just because of the size of the dog to be honest with you I was not thrilled when he brought a puppy home because I always assumed that they were just dumb drooling Giants. Well I had to retract all of my previous ignorant thoughts as Bella has shown me that intelligence can pop up in any breed even if they're not particularly known for it and also they drool only a moderate amount when bred a certain way. Bella is a low drool , fluffy coat Mastiff. The first thing I noticed about her was that her coat was so thick even though it's not long it's very thick... I called the breeder and he told me that wasn't a mistake and explained about the genetic link between the fluffy coat and Less drool. Anyway I guess I just wanted to add this because it's important to go with your heart and get a puppy that fits your family just like humans dogs are individuals and even in a breed not known for high intelligence you could run across a genius every once in a while !!
Aww, I have an Australian cattle dog and it is definitely the smartest dog I have ever had. Really obedient, friendly, and fast learner.
Yes ACD should be first, only somebody that never owned one would say different...
The ACD is the smartest mostly because they have the most current work history, in there DNA. its really as simple as that.
I'm sure they are all incredibly intelligent, but I think the Ridgeback steals top prize. Intelligent enough to save me from a police dog almost killing me when I was a child. I had been left in the house by my friends policeman father, with the huge German Shepherd in the kitchen and a baby gate separating him from me. Almost immediately it jumped thr gate and got ready to attack, but I was lucky enough to have the family dog which knew me in the room. She jumped in between me and the GS and faced it down, giving me enough time to slip out another door behind me. I have no doubt she saved my life, and she was so intelligent to understand the situation and step in to protect me.
My Standard Poodle is the smartest, sweetest, most loving dog ever. I love her so much.
Where's my kelpie? We had a corgi and I can tell you right now, that he wasn't the brightest. Our Jack Russell x fox terrier was immeasurably smarter, and better natured.
I have a Vizsla, he is literally the most stupid animal I have ever met. Love him though.
My aunt has one... Let's just say he never learned anything valuable to his life.
that made me actually laughed out loud😂
hewhehe
You didn't train him right.
+Chris cross if the vizla isn't trained then yes it's stupid, the owners make it smart, if the owners r bad, the dog is stupid, if properly trained, it will become smart
My GSP has quite a considerable word recognizable vocab. Don't Know if he understands everything, but the other day we were in the garage and I said, " do you want to go in the boat? " He ran to the door and I let him out. He ran down to the dock and jumped into the boat. He loves boat rides. He an awesome dog. Great hunter too.
Thank you for this very informative video. I can't get enough learning about dogs. They are awesome animals. 💗
Spot on own a border collie myself and the intelligence level of her is beyond belief.
My buddy Midnight was a mix between an Australian cattle dog and a Border collie. He was the smartest dog I've ever seen. He was so sweet. Last year, on a cold night on January 20th, he was hit by a red truck. R.I.P, Midnight.
He was black with grey paws and a grey belly.
Jenna Zornes I'm sorry for your loss. I know what it's like to lose a dog 😢
Se Chan I don't and I hope I never do
Jenna Zornes if he/her was so smart he/her wouldn't get ran over
Jenna Zornes lol
the part about Weim's being energetic is true!I have two weims of my own.
Hello beautiful,how are you doing
as for your comment about greyhounds........... they have compassion ! Im in a wheelchair permanent... my friends took me to Petsmart to get some stuff for my dog.. while in there this greyhound with a perfect shaped white heart at the end of his nose pulled his owner toward me and lay his big head on my shoulder and hugged me tight around the neck with his head... that was the best hug Ive ever had
Now to do the stupid breeds, lol. My dad's Australian cattle dog tries to herd us when we come to visit.
+Amanda Vadon Do not laugh. A stupid dog is the best dog for most of us. Most of us do not have the time or space to provide mental stimulation for a smart dog. It finds ways to entertain itself, and those ways are often destructive.
+Jean on the Road lol my dipshit dad gets a bordercollie thinking it would be fun. guess who works 32 hours a week and spends another 32 with my dog lmfao.
+Amanda Vadon I have two dogs and when the fence broke one of them tried to run away but the Australian cattle dog actually herded the other back home. It was amazing. Didn't even train her to do that, it's pure instinct.
No such thing as a stupid dog, only a stupid trainer.
Ben Warwick Yes, just as there really are degrees of intellectual ability in people, there really are degrees of intellectual ability in dogs.
I own a border collie!! And I can say she's the smartest dog I've ever had 💕
my family dog is a miniature australien shepherd :) i think they are closely related to border collies
I don't think it is strictly the breed. A dog that is not considered an especially intelligent breed can still produce an individual animal that is far more intelligent that breeds considered smarter than it.
I’ve had Doberman Pinschers my whole life-they by far are the most intelligent , trainable and loyal breed I’ve ever met. ❤️
Hello beautiful, how are you doing
wait what i dont see a boxer but i do see a rotwiller my boxer is pretty smart
Rhodesian Ridgeback should be on here. Smartest dog I've ever seen!
Super smart. Mine talked too.
Pommeranians are stubborn, loud, lovable, cuddly, sweet, annoying, obnoxious, weird, caring, concerned, wanting, demanding, and above all wonderful. And, I miss mine so much. He was by greatest friend when I was feeling down. He also knew how to get under my skin and get on my nerves at times. However, if you want a small, friendly, sweet little ball of fluff that will live for an extremely long time and bring you a great deal of joy despite how yappy they are, Pomeranians are wonderful dogs. The smaller ones are also purse puppies for the people who like to bring their dogs everywhere. Mine was on the larger end. He also lived for 19 years. The roughest part is that they are prone to arthritis, cataracts, collapsing trachea, a loss of bowl and bladder control, and a handful of other health problems later in life. They also get to a point where they can have seasonal allergies. I truly think mine developed them because I have them. He only started getting them later in life, but they do say that dogs take on the traits of their owners. I just didn't dream that that would include literally becoming me in the spring. But, if you can handle all of that, you've got a loving companion who cares about you for their entire life.
i was so happy to see the pembroke corgi in the 11th spot, i really want to get one and i wasnt sure how easy they were to train
How is the Rhodesian Ridgeback not on this list??? They were bred to take down/kill lions!!! They didn't just go hunting with their owners and merely retrieve what their owners killed, like some of the dogs on this list, they actually killed the prey/hunted alongside their owners. Any dog can be taught to fetch something, it's much harder to train a dog to kill one minute and be docile the next. My pup (Ridgeback X Bullmastiff) knows well over 60 different words, as well as hand signals for those words. And she's just a pup. My purebred Ridgeback was probably even smarter than her, but he is gone now so it's a bit hard to compare the two.
I’ve had three boxers...very intelligent breed. Also have a Catahoula leopard, one of the brightest dogs I’ve ever met.
I had a Cocker Spaniel once and he was dumb as a box of rocks (he was grown when I got him). OTOH, I have a Chihuahua (who is generally NOT known for "smarts"). This is the single smartest dog I have ever met. In my opinion, I think the smartness of a dog is really measured by the owner's love and patience.
Top 3 for brains; Big french poodle[can never remember their name],German Shepard,and finally Collies.This was from several vets I asked when looking at getting a dog.I finally settled for a shepard/border collie cross and never regretted it.He saved me twice from being attacked by bears as I live in a small town in Canada where bears and deer in town are common.He never barked at the deer but when bears appeared he would lose it,barking savagely and chasing them off.He's been gone since 2007 and I still miss him.
No Jack Russell?? oh come on
I have a vizsla it’s a great dog
CHEETO GANG me too! Such sweethearts
sameee, they are so loving 💗

I was adopted by a sheltie /dachshund mix... I guess I was the kind of guy she was looking for. An extremely alert dog who understood English better than some people I knew. She was absolutely fearless (dachshund side) and was a wonderful watchdog and protective as well... I still miss her... thinking back she was the love of my life. I was lucky that for the 12 years that I had her I had my own business which meant that she could be with me ALL the time, I never had to leave her for 8 to 9 hrs a day which was important in building a strong relationship and understanding. We went everywhere... that dog traveled more than most people... I even took here golfing and fishing... two sports she seemed to enjoy as much as I did... oh and she loved fireworks... I think the 4th of July was her favorite holiday.
Can’t believe that Pomeranian was on there! I had one and it was the hardest dog to housebreak that I’ve ever had (besides a ShiTzu). There’s one dog you left out that definitely should have been in the top 10, Boxers. Undoubtedly one of the best dogs I’ve ever owned. Extremely intelligent and easily trained.
yayyyyy!!!!!!* The German Shepherd is on this list. I have 2 of them.
Chloe Debulois I know there the best dogs ever I love mine
Hello beautiful
Did you determine this "smart" based on trainability? Because I think my dogs are smart, but highly independent. They'll figure out their own way of doing things & argue with me when I try to tell them otherwise. Apparently that's sort of a wolf trait.
Huskies
+Pit Bulls you bet. Huskies!
Nope. It is also done using problem solving skills. So they set up tasks that each dog hasn't done before, and see how long they take to solve it. But the person who created this list i doubt ever did any actual research.
Midnnight n
Yeah just like Huskies and Beagles. Both are known to be smart but extremely stubborn and independent which is why we dont usually see them in these lists.
Norwegian Elkhounds...the only breed I'll own at this point. Had my Thunder for 13 years and now have a cousin of his named Gunnar. Extremely smart, loyal, protective, super good watch dogs which means they do bark. Mine will bark at someone walking on the other side of the street...just to let me know 'someone is out there'. Their bark is huge and will scare away just about anything with a brain. Both Thunder and Gunnar are descended from a Best In Show at Westminster...which has only happened once I believe. Super family dogs, love kids and people in general but still excellent alarm dogs. They are not cheap to buy but are absolutely worth every penny. I love my dog !
List agrees with in most of studies I have seen. Not skewed by personal opinion of specific breed owners as most comments here
I'm not surprised that Jack Russels aren't on here, lol.
My jack russell is a fucking spaztic lmfao
Same like they are so clever
Mine is fuckin smart and Playful
+Meg Mord no they're not lol
wat
Didn't see jack russell terrier on your list. They are sooooooo smart.
Phyllis Charpentier that’s a fact
My dog is half Jack Russel. He’s the dumbest dog ever.
Their really not but any dog if raised smart can be smart but very few are naturally born smart jack Russell’s really aren’t
Dumbist dog in the world
Smarter than most people in this comment section. #fightme
Our 1st dog was a doberman...we miss him so much and it was over 20 years ago when we had him. Smart, smart dog very caring ♡ But does need a lot of exercise and stimulation
Boxer is usually among the top rated... I also miss the Xoloitzquintle on this list, not very common breed but extremely intelligent.
I've only ever seen boxers on the "not so smart" list. And having had 4 boxers in my life, I have to admit that they are dumb as bricks when compared to actual smart dogs lol
my cocker spaniel was retarded and every other one i seen was just as stupid it would chase its tail after it farted
that guy I'm yet to meet an intelligent Cocker Spaniel. 😂
that guy never met a smart spaniel. Friend of mine growing up had three of them and they were dumb as rocks
I'm surprised the catahoula didn't land in the top 10. This is one of the Smartest dog breeds I've ever seen and have. I taught my catahoula Bella several things like, sit, lay, stay, down, up, left, right, wait. Those are basic things but I also taught her more advanced things like, how to attack on my cue and stop attacking on my cue. I taught her how to take down a person like a police dog fyi. Also I taught her non verbal hand commands. She listens and does what I command with no hesitation instantly. This breed is: energetic, playful, intelligent, stubborn, territorial, over protective, loving & affectionate, popular hunting dog especially for wild hogs because they are deceptively fast and strong and can climb trees better than most cats. They have an average lifespan of about 25 years so getting one is a life time commitment. My catahoula is turning 9 this Halloween and she is still energetic as a puppy and isn't showing signs of slowing down anytime soon. These dogs are NOT for the beginner level dog owner. They require a strong leader that can guide them and understands that patience is the key to overcoming their stubborn behaviors. They also require alot of time/dedication, exercise, and attention. The best way I learned to train this breed of dog is in stages. From the puppy stage make things a game like play time and practice the training. When they start growing out of the puppy stage start transitioning your training into tasks because they love to work. As they start growing into the adult stage just keep on training like routine clock work until it becomes second nature to them and they listen to you automatically.
I love your guys channel. I try to watch every new video. I really enjoy them.
I thought I would see Jack Russell terrier on the list.😢
Here he is :) and Suddenly my GSP was among top 10 as well :) The smartest dogs according to veterinarians kzhead.info/sun/iJSJaKuXg2OehH0/bejne.html
I have a Rottweiler😆😆😆 I love him even more knowing that his breed ranked as the 9th most intelligent breed of dog.
Rotties are awesome! When I was thinking about getting a dog, Rotties were on my list. But alas, a greyhound stole my heart lol - Juan
I agree
I had a wonderful miniature poodle! He was very smart, loving, and loyal. 💞 As well as being cute! He lived for 16 1/2 years. Poodles Rule!🐩💞
I can vouch for border collie, my last dog was border collie, so quick and intelligent, unfortunately because they’re so clever they can also be a very nervous and highly strung dog.
Even I they aren't on the list, I still love pitbulls
yeees! Was so hoping theyd make the list
peace lover its my favorite but U know the reputation, he just watched me and acted accordingly Miss him so much
Technically "pit bull" isn't a recognized breed in many official kennel clubs. You're most likely thinking about the American Staffordshire Terrier, Bull terrier, or the English Bull Terrier :)
sr ud find putbulls under most aggressive
+Bryan Villegas aggressive and protective are totally different
Don't mess with Collies, ours managed to herd people! No joke. No commands needed she just got everyone to the same spot.
You just made my day!! xD
Glad to help pall! :)
Awww. I don't know whether to think that's hilarious or adorable. Former border collie owner here.
Believe it or not, one of our neighbors has a collie that tries to herd our flock of guennie hens every time she gets bored. And if you've ever had guennies, you KNOW how next to impossible that is! Seriously, they don't give that dog enough to do!
And what do poodles (which are a ruined breed by the way) have to do with herding collies? Do you have enough to do?
Didn't agree with some of the picks or their order, but really enjoyed this no b.s., quickfire and enjoyable video.
I totally had a border collie growing up hahaha so true about how smart they are.
you left out the Jack Russell, most lists have them in the top 5. you don't even mention them
Mia your English is atrocious are you sure you are not a dog ?
Jacks are for smart people, not dummies.
If they are a dog, I'm impressed at the dexterity to type.
@@miacloud3061: No they're not.
@@miacloud3061 they're*
I thought the Beagle would be here ;-; sorry Freckles xD
Freckles forgives you. ~Mike
+list25 yay
+Toxic Plays MC We had a beagle. Loving and sweet. Dumbest animal on 4 legs.
+Jean on the Road I read they were smart though xD
Toxic Plays MC Ours was not smart. Not at all. Very high energy, too. We finally had to give him back to my uncle in Kentucky, were he became an active member of a hunting pack. The only things that dog could do were follow a scent and run. Hunting and working breeds are not good unless you can give them the exercise they need, no matter how dumb they are.
For many years my best friend was an Australian dingo. I know they are not a recognized breed by the various organizations; but, having lived with one for all her life, I must say she would rank much higher in intelligence than many on your list. She understood a great deal of human speech, and acted accordingly. She was actually polite and well mannered, perhaps because I always treated her as if she was another human being, rather than a dog. She was very gentle, and excellent with children. I will always miss her deeply.
That's awesome! And that's why we mean breeds as a whole and not specific dogs. There are plenty of smart dogs that are breeds not on this list, but the average is what we put.
Sadly, here in the U.S.A. dingos are very rare. because of that, few people know about the breed. If there were enough of them so more people knew of their traits, I am sure they would have been high on your list. Since they are basically a wild dog, evolution has culled out the stupid ones and left the smartest. The same is true of wolves, I am sure you will find owners of wolves also will tell you they are much smarter than domestic dogs. "Breeding" of dogs results in the same mental degradation that happens in human lineages where there is too much inbreeding. Of course, if dingos were bred for generations as are most domestic dog breeds, they would suffer the same problems.
Dingo's were used on Queensland heelers to make Australian cattle dogs
Hi.. what size are the Australia cattle dogs compared to the size of another dog so I have an idea. Thank you
German Shepard Dogs ROCK
how about jack russell terriers? they should be included on this lists
I had a beagle/chow mix growing up and she could learn a trick on a day. She would even figure out what we were spelling. She was an obedient school drop out and would run away of she could get a change. We would always says she was too smart for her own good. Very stubborn but was an amazing friend.
Weimaraners can be stubborn if they aren't motivated or if there isn't something in it for them. We had 2 Weims in separate areas of the house. Our female couldn't open the door to the basement, but she could open the door to the bedroom to let out our male Weim, who could open the door to the basement. Once in the basement, they were able to get into the dog food bin that had a snap lid and a reinforcing bungee cord. They then proceeded to eat the entire contents of a 10lb bag of dog food. Very clever. ;-)
According to most studies, the Border Collie, Doberman P, Poodie, and German Sheppard are always in top 4. So I say this list is slightly off with the Golden in there.
Goldens are in the list because they are 'trainable'... not because they are smart... hard to train but very intelligent dogs like Jack Russell Terriers, Dalmatians, Dachshund aren't on the list.
My border collie only knows a hand full of phrases "Do you want a treat" "Give me a cuddle" "Kiss" (touches nose) "Good girl" "Love you" "Walkies" "Din dins" And wannabe play fetch
I have two GSP'S I love them both to bits! Although I can't see my three year old male being good with kids, (he's too hyper!).
I love border collies. I'll get one when I retire so I can interact with it everyday.
I thought at least Australian Shepherds would be up there
Yeah same xD
+Pål Opsahl lol welp
I have an Aussie - she's pretty smart. This video is pretty subjective....
i thought so too my australian shepherd is very smart
+Jaylyn's Life same my Aussie is very smart as well
Cool, I have a Weimaraner
Mad Doggo _ me too
I had two English Springer Spaniels. They were siblings from two separate litters. I lost my little girl in April to cancer. If she had lived to June, she would have been 15. I still have brother. He just turned 15 week before last. He is my old man now.
I agree on the Border Collie. Very smart dog. Also but not listed a Catahoula. I have both and they work great together.
I have a doberman & Border collie mix ❤️ smartest dogs ever!! Very clingy!!
I am an American Staffordshire Terrier and I am the smartest dog on my block.
No one can beat your ability to hunt and kill small kids!
@foxy lady I hope you're joking.
@foxy lady You're a degenerate, beastiality bitch who breed then.
@voodoochild346 Shut the fuck up, You hate them because their "dangerous" even though they were made dangerous by PEOPLE. How about you take your ass somewhere else with your bullshit?
OfficialNuk3rClan it was a joke you have anger issues
I own a German shepherd. He learned to open doors by himself.. Now I don’t have any space lol!
Our standard poodles are brilliant, they understand two languages and you only have to show them something once, and they get it. Non shedding, non drooling, extremely loyal, powerful, agile, and super connected to people. Definitely not sissies.
Hello beautiful
Doge is smart and loyal I appreciate that
what cocker spaniels are damn hard headed
Knock Knock But smart as hell. They’re just stubborn 😂
@@emspumpkin5086 I have two Cocker Spaniels they are stubborn around anyone except people they know. They hate kids, every kid but me. Besides that they are very sweet and I love them
Our family of pets my cocker spaniel is not stubborn at all! Also loves kids and is a extremely good watchdog!
Should have made the list the Top 30 Smartest Dogs. Too many on this list are tied. Besides that, excellent list.
We raised Rottweilers when I was a kid and I trained our Head Male a LOT.... which is funny because we had a Cocker Spaniel Before getting the Rotties and the Cocker taught Them a thing or two! It was hilarious! One trick he taught them was how to open the latch on the gate to the back yard! Oh that scoundrel! LOL But after he passed, Zeus became the Head Honcho. The biggest marshmallow lapdog ever! (He was also a Long Haired Rottweiler) Oh! And did he EVER LOVE car/truck rides!! LOL
Is german sheperd good for kids?
No Jack Russell? Ridiculous
Their temperament is not high up on a list so they get knocked off the list. They are super intelligent but not as sociable as these on the list.
I agree, they’re very smart, but they’re very independent and aren’t strong when it comes to pleasing their owners
You forgot the Australian Shepherd. Probably second only to the border collie. Loved mine, super smart!
You should also add the Australian Kelpie this dog is not only used for herding but mine is also used as a therapy dog
I new that the border collie would be number one
Go ahead and hate me..a border collie showed up at our place; I named him Pretty Boy. We had other dogs, he quickly set out to be #1. Not fighting, just being Boss. My family talked me into taking him off. I chose a place with lots of Kid traffic, $$$, etc. A year later, he was back. This time I took him to the ASPCA. Wherever you are, Pretty Boy, I hope...
You’re missing Jack Russell dude. They’re VERY smart.

Hi great video! What about portuguese water dog and ridgeback?

Your uh photo is a slitheen are you a slitheen
ÑOOOoooooooOOOOOooooo
I have a rotwieller and he isn't mean he is really nice and is a push over
Little Discord I have 2 great danes and they are the sweetest but people are scared because they are large
I've had 3 rotties..they never ever tried to pick a fight with another dog..,,other dogs who barked or growled at them just received a look like "you're an idiot" and nothing ever happened..the other dogs never really tried to do anything
