    Smartest Dog Breeds

    Pet dog parents always want to believe that their dog is the smartest on the block, and while this may hold true, a smart dog can come in many forms.

    Obviously, a clever pet dog is just potential without a human ready to put in the time and effort to channel the dog and train's knowledge. Dogs are about as smart as the average two-year-old, but there is a range of intelligence across various breeds.|Intelligence in dog breeds can refer to many qualities. Some dog breeds are much simpler to train and listen well to demands while others make great working dogs who are able to herd livestock.

    If you want an intelligent companion, get one of these breeds:

    1. Border Collie is just one of the world's smartest and most popular dog breeds. Initially developed as a herding dog because of its intelligence and obedience, the Border Collie is a medium-sized dog recognized for its friendly temperament.

    2. Golden Retriever is one of the world's much-loved dog breeds. Initially bred as gun dogs, the Golden Retriever is a clever, friendly and trainable comrade.

    3. Rottweiler (a.k.a. "Rottie") is a loyal, courageous and smart dog breed who is known for its unwavering commitment to its owners, whom they will protect at all costs.

    4. Poodles not only are very clever, but they're also proud, active dogs, with the added advantage of being hypoallergenic. Because of their high intelligence, poodles can be easily trained to track, hunt, retrieve, and obey.

    5. German shepherd is the second most popular dog breed because they're brave, confident, and smart. They are exceptional all-purpose workers and are used in a number of specialized situations as police dogs or service dogs.

Northern Inuit Dog Information

The Northern Inuit Dog is of medium to large build, athletic but never racy. Females should be between 23 and 28 inches (58–71 cm) tall and weigh around 55–84 pounds (25–38 kg), while males should be between 25 and 30 inches (58–81 cm) tall and weigh 79–110 pounds (36–48 kg). The dog should have a double coat and a straight tail – curly tails are considered a fault.

The Northern Inuit dog is not for the novice owner as they can be very stubborn and are very quick-witted. The owner of a Northern Inuit must show themselves to be a strong leader or be prepared to be the underdog, and be taken advantage of. They are more difficult to train than other, more biddable breeds. Separation anxiety may arise when they are left alone and unsupervised too long, leading to destructive behaviours but training to be left from a young age will rectify this. Training from the onset is a must for this breed. Often, they will do better with another dog for company. Socialization should begin when vaccinated and throughout as their play can be very rough and misinterpreted.
