Do you have one of the seven smartest dogs? You’ll soon find out if your pooch made the cut.
Miller-McCune magazine recently reported on leading canine researcher Stanley Coren’s dog talk at the 117th annual convention of the American Psychological Association. Coren said that dogs are just as intelligent as 2-year-old children. Plus, they can comprehend more than 150 words. As you may already know, dogs can also be “consciously deceptive” in order to get what they want!
According to Miller-McCune, Coren’s top Smartest Dogs List includes:
No. 1: Border collies
No. 2: Poodles
No. 3: German shepherds
No. 4: Golden retrievers
No. 5: Dobermans
No. 6: Shetland sheepdogs
No. 7: Labrador retrievers
Coren arrived at this smartest dog conclusions by studying information from more than 200 dog-obedience judges in the US and Canada. He used the data to find the differences in working and obedience intelligence across dog breeds.
If you have one of these breeds, what examples of their intelligence can you share?
