Australian Cattle dogs round out our list of the top smartest breeds. These dogs are known for their endurance and work ethic – which sounds unusual for a dog, but they require lots of engagement or they tend to get into trouble. Keep this breed occupied and you’ll enjoy playing with them for a lifetime.
We’ve listed only the top 10 smartest breeds here, but there are a lot of super smart and easily trainable dogs out there, including lovable mutts. A few other honorable mentions are Bernese Mountain dogs, Alaskan Husky, Australian Shepherd, English Springer Spaniel and the Gordon Setter. However, no matter the breed or mix, you can definitely train your pup with lots of patience, love and positive reinforcement.
