How intelligent is your dog?
See how your clever canine ranks among the smartest breeds as rated by Animal Planet
Based on cognitive ability and high canine IQ, this list highlights the top 7 brainiest dog breeds. Dog owners may be surprised to find out where their loyal companion ranks (or doesn’t!):
#1 – Border Collie
It’s no surprise to find this breed at the top of the list! The Border Collie is not only featured with Charlie as our poster boy for the January 2016 Dog Of the Month, but this Prefect of Pooches outsmarts most other breeds with its brain power.
With its exceedingly high intelligence and ability to pre-empt commands, the Border Collie often outwits its human handlers. The Border Collie’s thinking power is often misunderstood as hyperactive behavior or stupidity. Often it is the owner that needs further education as to what their Border Collie needs to keep this active dog’s brain stimulated.
#2 – Poodle
#3 – German Shepherd
#4 – Golden Retriever
#5 – Shetland Sheepdog
#5 – Labrador Retriever
#6 – Papillon
#7- Doberman Pinscher
