Top 10 Smartest Dogs In the World (Petstars.net) - Border Collie, Poodle, German Shepherd

[bmorekiller306]

I have a german shepherd

[maximusbugatti]

true so true i have a german shepherd he is smart like hell but then like for a min its like his brain disapears :D :D :D

[FonziHEY]

This is for ScoopzyDaizy's comment about owner's being biased--- I have a Boxer. But i still say Doberman's are the best dogs. Very intelligent. Agile without compromising size. Loyal. Protective... I got a boxer cause i had one growing up, sentimental i suppose. But he's still dumber than a box of rocks, and tons of energy and playfulness. So being Objective, i'd say Dobie's are best dog ever.

[mrdan859]

my wife is the best dog i have.

[JKSnipe]

Wat pet dog should i buy for my birthday?

[DrBiochemGuy]

@JKSnipe Get yourself a purebread Australian Dingo... guaranteed to offer countless hours of unbridled excitement and activity for you and your family.

[realpowerofmusic]

Rotties the best

[cats4ever01]

German Shepherds are the Best dogs you can Ever have!!!!!!!!!!!

[301Goldstar]

A Poodle is best dog you can have.

[oljepingu]

Doberman, German pinscher and min pins is the best and smartest dogs.

[klewiswayx]

Doberman pinscher is the best dog ever! i say its #1 not #5!!

[XISassyKittenIX]

My neighbor has a pitbull, His one of the friendliest dogs I have met. The reason dogs, ANY DOGS, attack someone, either human or animal, is because the owner trained them to fight and kill other dogs, ect.. That and/or bad training in obedience. The pitbull next door has done NO wrong! and, I've walked into the yard to get to the door and he NEVER even tried to bite me. It's not the dogs that are bad, it's the savages holding the leashs!

[wolfxinstein]

Pit bull excell in everythings. Therefore the smartest dog

[nutsack666]

@wolfxinstein that settles it. bravo sir.

[krisiekeanu2]

german shepherd is the best and smartest

[krisiekeanu2]

german shepherd is the stongest dogs

[nutsack666]

@krisiekeanu2 stronger than a cane corso or rottweiler? Theyre awesome dogs but I don't know that they are the strongest. lb for lb i don't think anyone who knows about dogs would argue that the American Pit Bull Terrier is the strongest dog(lb for lb, not overall)

[jpost2129]

@nutsack666 Actually, it's either the bull terrier or dogo argentino when speaking pound for pound muscle ratio. Now the jaws? That goes to the pit. but pound for pound..it's not the pit.

[nutsack666]

@jpost2129 im going to have to disagree. a dogo is obviously the stronger dog but lb for lb i think its the APBT. bull terrier is up there, but i havent seen a good ripped up bull terrier in years. im going to send you a private message of some dogs and let me see what you think,

[Shanegilldesigner]

poodle no1? ur joking right, there in the toy breed section for a reason, no1 dobe

[nutsack666]

@Shanegilldesigner the standard poodle isnt in the toy breed. It's not ranked #1 either. The miniature poodle is, however, a toy breed. But the mini poodle was not mentioned here....

[besthitsonly]

Doberman is best dog evar !!

Doberman pincher is for pussies.

[IMnineonetwo]

Your getting obedience mixed up with intelligence.

[OldmanChester]

This is racist.

[PNDrocks]

My doberman can open the Fridge! Look for a post when he learns to bring me a cool one!!

[PNDrocks]

Doberman= Best! Only dog bred to be the best! The smartest, most loyal, bravest, and most loving dog on the planet!

[ScoopzyDaizy]

@PNDrocks that's a sompletely subjective thing to say.i hate when idiots like you keep insisting on a certain breed being better than others. every owner loves HIS dog MORE than ANY other dog of ANY other breed. a maltese owner will tell you his dog is better than your (i presume you have one) doberman...

[JoePlenty]

Miniature szchnauzer should be in there

Mine can close the door when he comes in from the garden

[milehighclubmember1]

I have a pet elephant

[croatiaa4ever]

0:32 i read shitland sheepdog xD

[Widwo1324]

And also go dobermans

[Widwo1324]

Go rotties I got three of them

[Mr589742316]

doberman= best dog in the world

[folgoraEX]

@Mr589742316

If you are a retard redneck

[lolatmyfoot]

@Mr589742316 fuck off german shepherd = best dog in the world

[georgebaggy]

@lolatmyfoot german shepherds are great dogs too, dobermans in fact are partly bred from them. but they're highly overrated. Belgian Malinois owns both breeds

[Fluteplayer1999]

I have the number 2 smartest dog :D

[Lulucupcake252]

POODLES SHOULD BE THE SMARTEST ON THAT LIST!!! I HAVE ONE WHO LEARNED SIT, STAY, COME, PLAY DEAD, SHAKE, BEG, AND LAY DOWN IN A WEEK!! THESE DOGS ARE AMAZING AND SWEET AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM FOR PEOPLE OVER THE AGE OF 10!! (they do better with older kids because they are very, very delicate)

[atrieisan]

@Lulucupcake252

Border Collie is number one because they are capable of learning and understanding more than 200 words.

[TheABLTZ]

Smartest dog = Bull terrier

[kurby426]

@TheABLTZ

agreed

[rctriplefresh5]

id saay it should go

1-border collie

2-doberman

3-rottie

4-golden

5-gsd

6-great pyrenees

7-newfoundland

[garply101]

People with their own bias and favourite dog breeds are ironically the most stupid and blinded - the kind of people who couldn't train or handle a Border collie anyway. The Border Collie is by far the most intelligent dog in practically any tests, including 'dog sports'. Infact, no other dog is even that close.

[9snaker]

no way poodles are smart!

we have one and she is stupid as hell

[macylacygirly]

border collies are sweet and small but man do they herd you from room to room

[NickiNightmare6661]

I had a collie and it was thick as shit! xDD

[TheInsomniac247]

/watch?v=e8ri-eigGG8

[MyBabyBenson]

Just cause poodles are fluffy and funny lookin (in SOME cases, where they are groomed specifically to look like that) doesn't make them unintelligent -__- The ignorance of some people.

[Redialable]

Smartest should be replaced by Trainable



[SaddleUp213]

no, no no no. how the HELL is a fluffy poodle more intelligent than a GSD? Just sayin'.

[9snaker]

@SaddleUp213

i'd say, it's the genes

lol

[SaddleUp213]

@9snaker Well are they used in the police force? Not really. :P

[truerebel495]

I personally think the Doberman should have been atleast number two on the list i dont even think Rottweilers should have been on it at all. In my opinion the top five dogs are Dobies, German Shepards, Border Collies, Aussie Sherpard, Weinriener

[Shadowraider121]

Border Collies are a breed that you should not keep in the city, they NEED to work, they NEED to herd sheep. And yes this list is correct, no matter what you may think.

[heymama1]

There is no way a Golden is smarter than a Doberman. I've owned both. AND a German Shepard.

I'll have to say this:

Dobermans are incredibly sweet and loving and want to be part of you and your family. Of any dog I have owned, a Doberman is the best dog if you want a companion, as well as a dog that is full of spirit and has its own personality.

They are also great with infants and children. Dobermans rule!

[DogSoldier011]

@heymama1 why not ? Goldens are fast leaners very loving and gentle dogs.

[Majition]

AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERDS RULE

...ur just jealous



[Clawface1000]

yah!!!! bordah collehs wat!!!!!!!! :D

[kraqore79]

My cat does my tax

[rogantu]

I think the collie might be right, but I feel bad for the rottie being number 9 :/

or maybe it is just that all the rotties I met were super smart or had great trainers.

[rathmiron]

@rogantu its not that they're not smart, they're just number 9 of the top ten. there's loads of other dogs that are a lot less smart than rotties

[rogantu]

@rathmiron oh well at least they are awesome looking and top in loyality! xD

[wolfxinstein]

I don't agree. Where did u get your facts from?

[Luigigabe2000]

You are wrong my lab is awesome!!!!!!!!! Noob

[darkman1078]

ROTTWEILER IS THE BEST

[Racetog]

That must some good dope you are smoking...  GSD's are the most intelligent breed, hands down. I've never trained a dog before and my German Shepherd does what I teller to do.

[mandeel1100]

@Racetog If GSD's were the most intelligent then they would have been voted number 1.. this list hasnt really changed in years.

[sowmerbaibai2010]

got three border collies, my oldest is 12 and she still runs around and play like a puppy, very smart dogs:)

[Anna72Banana]

That is not true kelpies are one of the top 3 smartest and some dogs u have listed there are dumb

[MissWooHoo1]

that not a golden retriever. that photo is a labrador retriever. labradores are dumber than golden retrievers.

[Shadowraider121]

@MissWooHoo1 That is a pic of a younger Golden, no more than 8 or 9 months, my Golden didn't get her full feathering until she was almost a year old.

[baxtermadalyn]

haha yay my puppy is half astralian cattle dog half bordercollie yay shes smart

[Say0n]

Dobbies r the best

[mrjujubun]

@Say0n yeah doberman power

[UltraFighter18]

@unityspirit52 I've been around many german shepherds that are probably smarter than you.

[MegaCrashBandicoot]

Border Collies are the smartest dog trained or not

[IlovemyGsD123]

German shepherds are the smartest and the best i had a border collie and she dident even come to her name and wouuldent play with a toy for anything but i sill miss her but now i have GSD pup and its wayyyyyyyyyyy better!!!!!!!!!!!

[turtle9779]

U asshole,ALL DOGS ARE SMART IF U TRAIN THEM GOOD!!!

[beckers662]

Well in the police force will the gsd replaced for the Malinois because they are smarter :)

[Stromblad2211]

Dont know about collies or pudles but german shepherds are THE BEST PERIOD

[ChocBlurr]

@Nytowl7 notice the title says (Smartest dogs) not (Most athletic dogs)

[Nytowl7]

@ChocBlurr Kelpie are smart mate, you don't see many of these dogs winning trials or becoming a farmers best mate. No one trains dogs better then a farmer or a hunter.

[Nytowl7]

I think everyone is forgetting one dog breed in particular. The "Kelpie" Kelpies run trials just as good as Collies and are ever more athletic. In fact the highest jump ever achieved by a dog was a Kelpie. Others such as German shorthair pointer, Hungarian Vizla??? Your missing all the great hunting dogs. Bull Arab?

[schultz970]

Bear and I take offense that her breed only made #7. We have a border collie next door and it's just a nuerotic, frisbee obsessed moron.

[ConnorMcardle]

my top 5- retrever, spaniel, collie , great dane, greyhound. not in order & just talking oersonaly x

[mkmarsha2783]

I have a great dane, and he's truly one of the smartest dogs I've ever seen in my life. But I suppose I'm biased....

[Jrockit39bedford]

heres my top 10 smartest dogs;1.golden retriever 2.poodle 3.westie 4.labrador 5.irish setter 6.puli 7.kangal dog 8.greyhound 9.beagle 10.great dane lovedogs

[therandomretard100]

O_O I think this list is based on the dogs willingness to listen. That doesn't mean the dog is smarter or dumber, they simply want to please their humans. I own 2 greyhounds and although the breed is considered 'dumb' this is not the case, they're just lazy dogs and take a little longer to train, but that doesn't mean they aren't clever.

[TheFshr]

its all true , only #10 isnt the cattle dog its the german pinscher

[MICKEYISLOWD]

german shepard are no 1 british forces use them specificly for their cognitive skill ,and there easy to train...i had a border collie and he was nuts,just had too much energy.

[coolpup53]

ur stupid the doberman is wayyy more smarter, cooler, and stronger than stupid german shephards!!

[TheJoey3590]

@coolpup53 for my opinion i think the german shephard is smart because my friend had a doberman and its agressiveness was like 70% over smartness. Shephards are same strength but a bit smarter.

[UnknownTaliban]

@coolpup53 rip

[maire0callaghan]

German Shepard dog should be number #1 bitches!!!!!! i have one i tell her go get me a soda she goes and gets it same with finding my cat when she runs outside i tell my german sherpard go find the kitty she goes and finds her!!!!! take yall!!!!

[camo501]

Border Collie #1. The Doberman is #4. German Shepherd not in the top 7 sorry. Rottweiler # 10 at best. Oh and the Australian Cattle Dog # 5 not #10 Just my thoughts. Fun to talk about.

[Laurelnews08]

Most list the Doberman Pincher as #4 in that order, Golden Retrievers are awesome dogs, but Dobies are at #4, not the Golden Retrievers.

[1633frazier]

I have a pitbull n trained it so fast smartest dog I have ever had

[SoloNinjaZen]

Belgian Malinois should be here your list sucks!

[71pizzaboy]

the blue heeler is a dog with some issues they just need the right owner

[PaulMcdonaldFan]

german shepherds 1

[mileighful]

the last dog is called a blue hillard 2 but i am a dog person and i went to my mamas she had aways had a blue hillard and it aways bit me and blood went down my arm and i tried to cover so spike wont get hurt but that is y i am not aloud to have a blue hillard and my bff has one and she bit me it is like blue hillards dont like red hair girls i am red head

[Wolffox4495]

some australian cattle dogs can be trained to understand phrases of commands in human speech very accurately, my uncle has one w/ him on his farm named gizmo and gizmo can bring him tools from his tool box just by being asked

[MROLLE1200]

I want one Earth to jessie

[maverickinthere]

It's all a matter of who's training them!

[ChocBlurr]

@kdawg400 what's a ma fuka? Does it taste good?

[kdawg400]

and thats why im gettin 6 dobermans try and break in my house ma fuka!

[MROLLE1200]

German Shepard is the smartest dog ever!

[EarthToJessie]

@MROLLE1200 Damn straight! My puppy just turned 5 months old and already knows Sit, Stay, Lie Down, and Come. and is only 5 months, I got her 1 month ago and taught her all of it. Her name is Roxy, purebred female and her parents are champion show dogs, and so are the grandparents, I met her entire family.

[billytillery]

if you have ever watched Dogs 101 the dobermann is the smartest dog hands down

[IHARTDUBSTEP]

the list is screwed up . . . but i guess its an opinion of one in a million

[drewsisely]

A dog with a head to body ratio of 1/100000 cannot be smart because of its ridicusly small brain, therefore Small head=obeys commands without training=border collie, doberman etc=dumb dog

[basketballnation101]

@drewsisely you are stupid border collies are smarter than any dog ever, they arent smart based on brain size,your such a tard

[drewsisely]

@basketballnation101 Hahahahaha no! Border collies are the most responsive trainable dog, I used to think they were the smartest to until I got a real dog. Big dogs are always the smartest.

[drewsisely]

It's sad that animal intelligence is measured by train ability.

[TheBorderColliefan15]

border collies the best

[RBNightlinger]

Should read 'Most RESPONSIVE dogs' or 'easiest to train', not 'smartest'.

Most breeds possess equal intelligence but not all were developed and bred to obey commands.

[drewsisely]

@RBNightlinger Wow finally someone who knows what there talking about!

[RBNightlinger]

@drewsisely Thank you. Dog fanciers, such as those who come up with such ridiculous 'lists' aren't the best judges of such things, but we behaviorists know a thing or two.

[196913012]

too bad yorkies arent there. there my #1 favorite. but german shepherds are great too!

[GypsyagilityBC44444]

:D border collie are deffo the smartest and ur blind if u think otherwise :D

[BHDWarpBrother]

You forgot Hovawart extremely smart dogs

[jozeaphe]

@BHDWarpBrother @darknightkillbot @DeathBear27 @MultiEdomedo That's not his personal opinion, the order of these dogs is the actually international k9 committee recognition, that's how dog's experts picked them.

[Overchecking]

It is fact all over the world that border collies are most intelligent breed, like it or not.

Nothing really compares to it once you see it working and playing.

They excel in every department.

Most people can't handle them because of their never ending energy, these dogs will play fetch until the literally drop dead, their non stop.

[SilverAnxo]

@Overchecking "Play fetch until they drop dead" - Has me in stitches, thanks!

[lenalena111]

@Overchecking No offense, but your poor spelling/grammar is not really helping your case. The intelligence of a dog can depend greatly on the individual and its bloodline, not only its breed. For that reason, it is difficult if not impossible to identify one dog breed that is more intelligent than all others.

[Overchecking]

@lenalena111 Who the hell are you?, the grammar police.

Take your finger out your arse and lighten up.

No offense ;-)

[lenalena111]

@Overchecking I suppose I had that coming. I had a rough day, most likely. No need for me to be rude. But I do stick to my point :)

[wilddog814]

@Overchecking I dont think thats true. I have a border collie. She is 3 years old and hasnt even mastered stay quite yet, she will lay down after you throw a frizbee 3 times, and sleeps all day.

[danielleece]

@wilddog814 haha u got the dud. Border collie's are the smartest dogs in the world. I don't have one but thinking about getting one. I have a rotty atm. He's pretty smart

[wilddog814]

@danielleece well watch out. Borders can be quite the handfull.

[seahorse5050]

@Overchecking not to smart if they will drop dead playing ball....

[darknightkillbot]

more like most popular



[Karoline1995ify]

where is the great dane???i learned my g.dean in 5minunts to sit and to lie down..so..i don't think that you can teac this is 5minuts for a papillon..and the guardian dogs are the most intelligent..cuz they was selected because they need to learn very fast..you can read that in every book by dogs

[TheInsomniac247]

@Karoline1995ify you'd be surprised papillon's are very trainable :)

[jackojeff]

i disagree with all of these from experience dobermann are the smartest of the lot! they are some intelligent animals for sure not seen a border collie ever do some of the crap mine does

[DeathBear27]

poodles are dumb



[Angeltheshepherd]

: ) Border Collies FTW I've had 3 and they are THE smartest. not as smart as Austrailian cattle dog/JRT mix but for the purebreds SMARTERST EVER

[MultiEdomedo]

podlle is 2 nd ?! dislike

[3made1]

a blue heeler all the way is the Smartest Dogs !!!!!!!!!

[Angeltheshepherd]

@3made1 have to disagree border collie.. I have a blue heeler JRT and is smarter than my Border but not by much. and in different way

[gongboy83]

I caught my Shepherd reading Goethe in the original German.

[jamgalat361]

dude have you ever had one of those dogs? Belgian malinois is smarter than a german sheperd. only thing is, military dogs are sometimes mistaken as germans but actualy MOST of those are LABS and BELGIANS.

[tbartoldus]

You forgot about terriers. I agree, this is a lame ranking!!

[DogSoldier011]

@tbartoldus terrier's have a mind of their own tho :p

[tbartoldus]

@DogSoldier011 True - but are still very, very smart. Maybe this ranking should be most obedient. Although I have to say my Irish Terrier rocks in obedience and intelligence and I love that "mind of his own"!! But, of course, he's my favorite of all dogs!!

[OliviaLoveEthan]

Border collie are good

Wen you teach it once then it learn sright away buy one i got 6 but 1 dies of caner 5 still alives! they all born on same day ages 19 nearly 20 though very old but fit if you keep it fit then the more longer it live take your dog for long walk if it allowed

[salakerz324]

the chihuahua has the largest dog brain pound for pound!

[sduran165]

This video is a lie. You can go to the American Temperament Testing Society and see the statistics. The American Pit Bull Terrier ranks higher then all the dogs in this video (I'm almost positive). The site is attsDOTorg

[YoshiShell]

@sduran165 That list was about TEMPERAMENT. MEANING it was about which dog were aggressive and which weren't. You know, the odds of you getting bit. People rank high for the American Pit Bull Terrier because....well because it's a fucking pittbull, idiot.

[cuzen2ownage]

i hate Lassy ffs!!! Doberman FTW

[LostBelowLife]

Huskys and pitbulls are some of the smartest dogs 2

[bellaxedward132]

Border collie's are beast!!

[1hogfan83]

labs are pretty ignorant, they can retrieve and thats about it. austrailian shepards should be a tie with border collies. dobies and poodles are both very inteligent also.

[TheDojoMonkey]

A poodle....seriously?

[bellaxedward132]

@TheDojoMonkey oh yeah at the training place i take my border collie he loves to up against the poodle in the world of smarts!!!

[ZeldaObito123]

siberian husky?

[karooyomitoheagato]

my pappa and ney have a retreiver and a cattle dog and we have a rottie and my neighbor has a dobie! X3 i feel to smartical!

[SuperNickGR]

german shepherd rocks

[hunnastunna124]

this is wrong and outdated cause the the golden retriever has one-third of the intelligence of a pitbull.

[DieselDesigns2]

wow ur rong dobermwas was prooved to be smarter than german shepard

[thebest345653101]

5 is wrong my dobermans are stupied lol ithey run around in circle and howl like a hound dog
