The following are the top ten dog breeds based on Stanley Coren’s research and his IQ classification:
1. Border Collie
2. Extremely smart (the smartest): Poodle (Poodle)
3. Super smart: German Shepherd
4. Very good working and obedience: Golden Retriever
5. Super obedience: Chow Chow (Doberman Pinscher)
6. Smart and superior: Shetland Sheepdog
7. Extremely smart: Labrador Retriever (Labrador Retriever)
8. Smart and superior: Papillon
9. Collective sex workers: Rottweiler
10. Very good obedience: Australian Cattle Dog
It should be noted that this is only a classification method of IQ ranking, based on learning ability and obedience, rather than an assessment of the dog's intelligence or ability in other cognitive areas. A dog's IQ and learning ability also vary based on individual differences and the degree of training. Importantly, nurturing a dog's intellectual potential requires proper training, stimulation and interaction, as well as plenty of attention and love.
