The love for dogs is something that only those who have this pet can measure.

Of all sizes, different characters, fur.

Endless breeds for owners to enjoy.

But there is always a question that hovers:

what are the smartest dog breeds?

The specialists affirm that it is not easy to measure the capacities of these pets.

According to a specialist like the American Stanley Coren, there are

different types of intelligence

.

And many edges are put into play when it comes to evaluation.

One is the

adaptive

intelligence

, which has to do with deciphering things, and an

instinctive

intelligence

, which

is identified with innate talent.

But also, the

spatial, kinesthetic, interpersonal and emotional

intelligences

.

For this reason, beyond the fact that there will always be exceptions in all races,

training and training

also play a key role

Stanley Coren

, professor of psychology, neuropsychological researcher,

is the author of the

book

"The intelligence of dogs"

.

In its pages he presented the results of a long study with

199

dog obedience

judges

, which he divided into groups.

And the group of 10 brilliant working dog breeds came in first place,

capable of learning a new command in less than 5 seconds and obeying at least 95% of the time

.

1. Border collie

The Rottweiler is on the list of "potentially dangerous dogs".

10. Australian Cattle Dog

Easy to adapt to any home and climate, characteristics of the Australian Cattle Dog.

in five to 15 exposures and obey at least 85% of the commands

.

In this group some of the following breeds are located, even in order: Mini Schnauzer, Shepherd, Collie, Pointer and English Cocker Spaniel, among others.

work above average, requiring

15 to 25 repetitions

to learn a new trick and

Who are in this group?

Yorkshire terriers, Border terriers, Scottish, Irish and English Setters, Miniature Pinschers, and Dalmatians, to name a few.
