No one wants to have a dog whose intelligence will cause them nothing but trouble.
However, a dog's intelligence does not depend on the size of the breed - small, medium or large. There is a more precise gradation.
Experts from the American Kennel Club have compiled a top 5 list of dog breeds that are considered the smartest among their peers. It was published by PetMD magazine.
Border Collie
This dog enjoys solving complex problems.
Therefore, the pet should not be left without walks that involve intellectual activity. Otherwise, the dog may become problematic.
Poodle
The breed is wrongly considered frivolous. Trainers were among the first to appreciate the poodle's mental abilities. It learns new commands and tasks without much difficulty and loves to demonstrate its skills to the public.
Also requires attention, regardless of the size of the breed.
German shepherd
A serious dog that often serves in law enforcement agencies. The dog's intelligence is exceptional.
Due to its easy training, the dog is considered versatile.
Easily adapts to new situations, but without proper training, physical and mental exercise, it will not be possible to raise an obedient pet. Rough owners need to remember that the dog is capable of standing up for itself.
Golden Retriever
A reliable, kind and easy to train dog. It is a good companion, suitable for single people and families with children.
Dog training should begin at an early age.
Doberman Pinscher
The dog became a victim of public opinion solely because of its appearance. In reality, it is a kind, sympathetic and very loyal dog.
Attaches to one owner, behavior is easy to control, but at the same time it is a reliable guard.
Just like with a retriever, training should be started from an early age. The Doberman loves active games.
