The intellignece of 138 dog breeds:
The Intelligence of Dogs
I'm wondering how on earth the Poodle comes second - ahead of the German Shepherd and any of the retriever breeds. My dream dog; the Springer Spanial comes a lowly 13th!
Anyway; pity the poor Afghan Hound at 138th
"
Lowest Degree of Working/Obedience Intelligence
- Understanding of new commands: 80 to 100 repetitions or more.
- Obey first command: 25% of the time or worse."

(Jealous? Moi?)
To be fair, I think that some breeds of dogs enjoy displaying their intelligence (and receiving the attention doing so brings). Others (and cats) just couldn't give the proverbial.
