which dog is more clever in dog family

My vote goes with the Border Collie, They are often dopng studies and the border consistently comes out on top.

I think the mediuim sized dogs seem to be the most clever, especially a wire-fox hound. The breed is known for being especially cruel to cats, even going so far as ignoring them until the cat will "trust" them in a sense, and then killing them when they least expect it. Very smart dog from where I'm standing, and full of personality.
