The smartest dogs around!!
A smart and loyal dog - the Rottweiler!!
We all think that our dogs are the brightest, most intelligent canine to walk the earth, but believe it or not, they have come out with a list of what are the most intelligent dog breeds out there.
Lets look at them and I’ll comment as we go along. At #10, the Australian Cattle dog is a mover and a thinker. Originally bred to herd cattle in Australia, they must be kept active and are very protective of their property, including owners!
At #9, the Rottweiler has a bad rap as a BAD dog, but in actuality, his bark is worse than his bite. He is a great family dog and an especially good guard dog.
At #8, the Papillion is small, but smart. They are very devoted and possessive, but that is due to their strong loyalty. The smarts of this dog make them very easy to train.
At #7, the Labrador Retriever is one of the most beloved dogs and it one of the most popular as family pets. They love kids and other dogs and are very easy to train.
At #6, the Shetland Sheepdog is said to have intelligence that mirrors that of humans. The dog was originally bred to herd cattle and that takes, concentration, focus and intelligence. They are loyal and affectionate to their own family, but not necessarily strangers.
At #5, the Doberman Pinscher also has gotten a bad reputation over the years for being a cruel and agressive dog. However, they are loyal, assertive and fearless, which makes them one of the top breeds of guard dogs. These dogs can also be very gentle, with many of them working as therapy dogs.
I will continue with the last of the brightest dogs, revealing the dog known as most intelligent in tomorrow’s entry.
