The debate about which dog breed is the smartest is still ongoing.

Experts conducted analyses and identified several breeds that are distinguished by high intelligence and better trainability.

Sheltie

A miniature version of the Collie, originally bred to herd cattle, these dogs are great at showing off their skills and love being the center of attention.

Golden Retriever

This dog is a real intellectual. Representatives of this breed remember commands very well, are hardy and patient.

German shepherd

Everyone knows that such a dog will be an excellent bodyguard or guide, but it is also distinguished by its special intelligence and good intellect. Puppies can be trained from a couple of months.

Poodle

Don't be distracted by their appearance. This doesn't stop them from impressing with their excellent intelligence. They subtly respond to the owner's commands and intonations. It's not for nothing that such dogs have remained among the most popular for decades.

Border Collie

This breed is also very smart, but at the same time has a rather wayward character; for example, if the owner devotes too little time to the animal, then it will most likely consciously refuse to follow his commands.
