The smartest types of dogs according to psychologists

Dogs have a number of different intelligence: adaptive - cognition and learning, working - following orders and instinctive responsibilities for individual talents, while spatial, kinesthetic, interpersonal and many others we don't even have to mention.

Humans try to assess the intelligence of animals according to limited and incorrect parameters, which are often accompanied by a bunch of irrelevant experiments.

While the laboratories of Yale and Duke University, as well as many others around the world, are working hard to study this issue, for now we have only one accurately measured intelligence, and that is working intelligence.

A survey conducted in front of 199 present judges, in charge of assessing the behavior of dogs, showed incredibly consistent results. However, a number of judges have stated that there are exceptions in each breed and that a lot depends on the training itself.

According to this experiment, the brightest working dogs that exist today are:

• Border Collie

• Poodle

• German Shepherd Dog

• Golden Retriever

• Doberman Pinscher

• Shetland Sheepdog

• Labrador Retriever

• Papillon

• Rottweiler

• Australian Shepherd

These dog breeds are most suitable when it comes to learning new commands, for which they need less than five seconds and are obedient in 95% of cases.
