    Smartest Dog?

    What bread of Dog is the smartest?

    German Shepherds, of course.

    All have their own qualities. Some are great problem solvers, some are great at training, some are both, some are neither. Are you asking about trainability or just smarts? There's really no doggy IQ test.
     
    I, would, of course, say Alaskan Malamutes [:D].

    AKC says top 5 are:
    Border Collies
    Poodles
    German Shepherd
    Golden Retriever
    Doberman
     
    Here's a link of smartest dog breeds.  No idea who compiled it (or on what basis) but it should be good to stir up some conversations...

    Now see, I'm going to have to TOTALLY disagree with you here... 'Pup'ernickel is the smartest! [:D]

    Well, Millie clearly is not related to any of those smart Dobermans used in the testing.
    But, the smartest bread is Pumpkin Cinammon Chip from Great Harvest Bread Company.

    Glenda is all wrong. That's why they took away over 20,000 of her posts.

    I know someone who has Dobermans and Basenjis.  Her tagline says:
     
    Dobermans are smart: they quickly learn to do what you want them to do
    Basenjis are smarter: they quickly learn how to get you to do what they want you to do

    Sofia and Athena, the New Mexican Nard Steppers are the smartest dogs in the world. Trust a coydog to find a way out of a locked camper shell the first time she is in it, and do it in less than ten minutes!

    Well, I'd have to say the *Mutt*, since that's the only kind of dog I've ever had.  He is (I think) a mix of lab and GSD, if that helps. [:D]

    I don't agree with that list at all!  They didn't have min pin or boston terrier anywhere on it!  We all know how smart they are!  [;)]
