Hi my name is Keith and i am taking a survey to see if people on yahoo know what they are talking about?

Question

I allready know the answer too this question.

What is the smartest dog breed?

Answer 1

What's the determining factor?  Winning trials?  Expert police work?  Agility?  World's Greatest Pet competition?

Most 'experts' would say: Border Collie, Golden Retriever, Lab,German Shepherd (ah, yes, forgot the Poodle)

But you need to be more clear.

Answer 2

border collie

Answer 3

There are several brred that claim to be the smartest.

My opinion is that the breed does not determine the smartness, the actual dog does.

Answer 4

It depends on what list you look at.

Border Collie, though

Most I've seen say border collie, but I've also seen a lot of lists claim poodles as the smartest breed

Dogs such as german shepherds and dobermans are also high up in the list (German shepherds came in third, yay :) Although I know they are the smartest ;)  )

Now, if you are so smart, tell me this. What 2 breeds are ranked as the DUMBEST breeds??

EDIT: Here is a very popular test they performed on breeds, and this was the leading contributor to the ranking of intelligence in dog breeds  (but not the ONLY factor in most lists of dog intelligence)
