Smartest Dog Breeds
It must have been a tough job to decipher the breeds of dogs that are the smartest in the world. We all like to believe that the breed that we own is the smartest of all other dogs but here let’s see what a rather critically analyzed and statically evaluated study seems to tell us. There are certain advantages and disadvantages that come with owing a smart dog breed. For instance if your dog is really smart, it would want attention, hate to be left alone and cause you much damage when angry while if your dog is not as smart, no matter what you did to it, the dog would be indifferent mostly. Anyhow let us read on to know more about the smartest dog breeds in the world.
The Australian cattle dog is known to be a very smart dog breed. They need regular exercising and since they were originally bred at cattle protectors, they prove to be freethinking, resourceful and very protective about their own ones. Next is the Rottweiler which has a fearsome reputation though we do know that is highly uncalled for. They make great family dogs, are very reliable and are even more intelligent. Next on our list of the smartest dog breeds is the Labrador retriever. They are very lovable, highly affectionate and strangely patient. They are so friendly to humans that they are known to be the most popular breed of dogs in the world. They love to work and play. If you have kids in the house, this is the best breed of dog to have around.
Golden retrievers fall into the same family as the Labradors and they are also one of the smartest dog breeds in the world. They are loving, patient, loyal, friendly and very pleasing to have around. They are obedient and highly intelligent as well. Next on our fair list of the smartest dog breeds is the German shepherd which is a very courageous and strong breed as well. They make good family dogs if they have been trained from a very young age otherwise they are excellent police dogs and guard dogs. Since they are highly intelligent and extremely smart, the German shepherd cannot survive without a purpose in life. They constantly need to be occupied with work to be truly happy.
Before we wind up our list we have to mention the two f our smartest dog breeds which include the Poodle and the Border collie. The standard poodle is quite unlike what it is generally perceived to be – it is extremely intelligent and very easy to train. They like to have people around all the time and make good guard dogs to the extent that some can even be trained as hunters. They are nice sensitive and happy dogs to have around your home. Last but not the least; the Border collie is so smart that it constantly needs a job to do in order to stay happy. If left alone, they get destructive and that’s not a great thing to see. You must praise them often and shower them with constant love.
