Here are the Top 5 Smartest Dogs:
#5 Doberman Pinscher
Doberman Pinscher
A square, medium-sized dog, the Doberman Pinscher is muscular and possesses great endurance and speed. Its intelligence and ability to absorb and retain training have brought him into demand as a police and war dog. Even though they can be trained to be ferocious, many of these dogs are very gentle and docile. Biologist Stanley Coren ranks the Doberman as the 5th most intelligent dog in the category of obedience command training based on the selective surveys he performed of some trainers as documented in his book The Intelligence of Dogs.
#4 Golden Retriever
Golden Retriever
This dog is historically developed as a gundog to retrieve shot waterfowl and upland game birds during hunting and shooting parties. The dog’s soft mouth allows it to bring back unharmed game to its owner. Aside from being a hunting dog, Golden Retrievers can be used as rescue dogs, drug sniffing dogs, and guide dogs. This breed is very patient, which makes it that much easier to train. The golden-colored coat is the trademark of this breed.
#3 German Shepherd
German Shepherd
The German Shepherd is a very popular dog, because of their strength, intelligence and abilities in obedience training they are often employed in police and military roles, in forces around the world. I’m sure you have seen at least one movie with a German Shepherd on it or have gone to the mall seeing a German Shepherd as a bomb sniffer. This breed of dog is big and looks scary and they can be a very vicious dog to if trained to be a guard dog. The German Shepherd is one of the smartest dogs around.
#2. Poodle
Poodle
The Poodle isvery popular for its haircuts but not so popular with the intelligence, though this breed is ranked among the smartest dogs in the world. You may not think it because its rarely to see poodles as guard dogs, hunting dogs or watch dog but actually they are used for such. The breed comes in three size varieties, which may contribute to why Poodle is one of the most popular breeds according to AKC® Registration statistics. Poodles are elegant in the conformation ring, having taken top honors in many shows, including “Best in Show” at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in 1991 and 2002, and at the World Dog Show in 2007.
#1 Border Collie

It is also known for it’s ability to learn new tricks quickly. You will always see this dog in Flyball and disc game competition. The breed has an instinctive desire to work closely and intensely with a human handler.

LOL at that poodle. Parang nahulog siya sa kanal hehe
now i know that Border Collie is the smartest dog in the whole world.
Wow! I was amazed that a border collie can learn how to talk. This dog will definitely my choice from now on.
amazing…this is really nice to know. I’d say, our dalmatian and beagles are kinda smart too..they were quite easy to train! =)
Is this breed available for sale here in the Philippines? This will be one good breed of dog to love.
poodle was cute=) dogs are mans bestfriends talaga. i have my dog ” maltese.. but sadly hindi siya ganun ka galing at madaling maturuan.
I wanted to get a collie before, kasi nga madali daw i-train. But a friend offered a Siberian Husky and I soo love this breed! I fell in love w/ him as soon as I saw him! Am currently working on training him, and he now knows how to sit on command. Good boy!
dogs are mans best friend.
Wow. the talking dog is so cute =) I hope I enough have time to train my dog..
I also want to have a doberman.. but i’m afraid it might take long to tame it.
you know This is very ironic. basically says all.
Wheres the bull terrier i`ve had lots of bull terriers in my life and there the smartest dog i know.
My bull terriers know how to count to 100 and know half of there ABC`s.
i want to have doberman but i cannot find where i could buy or change pet to my german sherpherd crossed labrador retriever.
Not surprised about the Border Collie — they are amazing. I’m going to assume that they’ve lumped the Australian Shepherd in there, or didn’t consider them, because their intelligence is right up there with the Border Collies, and often people confuse the two. Adorable video. My Aussie has been trying to talk lately.. think I’ll keep working on it. He’s learning to say “frisbee.” lol.
I was interested that the border collie was top smartest but I’m twelve years old and I have a Labrador retriever her name is Gracie I love her to death she says hi and hello she knows how to punch lol she’s very sneaky she knows how to get on the trampoline and jump she knows how to play basketball and volleyball shes learning kick ball she is just sooooooooooooo amasing her breed deserves the top smartest breed
