Is your dog in the top 10 most intelligent?

My Boxer didn't make it....I have to say....he can be smart when he wants to be....but he'd rather be a clown and that's why I love him very much.

No, my dogs didn't make the list. I have two chihuahuas. They are smart enough for me. I have had several german shepherds though. My mother used to breed them when I was younger. We actually had one that was slightly retarded. He got stuck in the couch cushions just after being born. Our shepherd Tarsha had her puppies early and no one was home. He was ok, but a little goofy. We loved him just the same. I had an english springer spaniel that was the smartest, most caring and loving dog I ever met. He apparantly didn't make the list also. Oh well, I love all dogs regardless of their intelligence leve. Great topic thanks for sharing.

No, our two dogs are not in the top ten intelligent breeds listing that you have provided. However, I do think they are both smart, and love them anyway. Cheers!

awww. my dog isn't on the list. But anyway, I love my dog and I think we understand each other.

I have to laugh... I have a border collie, she is the dumbest thing going but I love her to pieces! Her mom and dad were super bright, they work horses and do tricks, mine just sits and stares at you with this big dumb grin on her face. she may not be brilliant but she definitely scores big in the love department! Have a golden retriever too, she's a bit more intelligent, though it's hard to tell with her sleeping all day!

No... I have a chow... it's supposed to be smart but it's stubborn... oh well...

Yep, my doggy is No 1 on your list. I must admit he's highly intelligent as are all border collies. He can anticipate what you're going to do - but sometimes he gets it wrong! My previous collies was extremely clever - he knew the names of each of his toys and would fetch one if you asked him to. I was training him to be a type of lazy person's helping dog, so that if i dropped the remote control off the bed, he'd bring it back to me. He'd go and fetch it, bring it back - but would he drop it, no he wouldn't bless him. I love border collies.

I guess my dog is only half smart. She's part golden retriever, part boxer. She's pretty smart most of the time, but sometimes she's just clueless...

A Poodle on the second place, it's hilarious, I always taught they were really stupid. If you see them walking. But the labrador does quite good, so I think the list is ok. :) Thanks for this information+!

My pet dog's breed didn't make it to the top 10 most intelligent dogs. But I must say that he's breed belongs to those that are popular, he is a pitbull. :) My dog isn't that intelligent but he can cope up with house breaking rules and little obedience training. He's also loveable because he never peed inside the house, he's gonna be making lots of noise when he really has to go, so I don't have a problem if he's not that intelligent. :) i love him just the way he is now.

My dog is a mutt, so I think he may be even smarter since he isn't inbred ;) Of course everyone thinks that about their dogs, right?

Yes, my german shepard is 3rd smartest dog! Unfortunately he has an IQ of maybe 4. Dum-dum

even if my dog doesn`t match to the top of the most intelligent breeds.i love him verry much.and i think he`s a smart one.i`ll never change him for another dog even that would be the most intelligent,easy to learn,obedient,and beautifull.i love my dog the way it is.

My lab is in the top ten, but you wouldn't know it by being around him! He took forever to train (once he got it, boy is he good). But his elevator doesn't go all the way to the top! It's okay, he's a good dog!

Top 10 Smart dogs???? Are you kidding? We have two Coonhounds and a Pomeranian. The Coonhounds are hopeless...the nose goes to the ground, and the brains fall out! The Pom only looks smart, cute, no brains. He can learn tricks no problem at all, but obedience, forget it...or maybe that's reallly smart...hhmmmmmm..something to think about!

All 4 of mine are on your top 10 list (#4, 7 and 9). I would definitely have to agree with them being very smart!

I will believe that poodles are more intelligent than German Shepherds and Labradors only after I start seeing blind people entrust their lives to them on busy streets and pavements. Till then I will just think this Russel Ash doesn't know what he's talking about. Funny how he's picked Border Collies @ Dobermans as clever dogs when their brains is the smallest compared to their bodies, especially the very dense Dobermans.

Well, my dog is a lab/shepherd/?/? mix, so I guess he is sort of on the list. He is very smart and knows plenty of tricks, so I guess that's the lab/shepherd coming out in him.

no i dont have a dog i dont like dogs.

Nope, our dogs didn't make it to the top ten list of intelligent dogs. But I think a dog's intelligent also has something to do with how you train them. We have two dogs and we are able to train them to look after our shop and call as by barking if somebody comes in, they know where to put their feeding bowl after eating, and knows where to sit when we're watching TV :-) Anyway whether intelligent or not I love our dogs, I always look forward to their greetings when I come home after work.
