    Smartest Dog Breeds

    Dog owners always want to think that their dog is the smartest on the neighborhood, and while this may hold true, a clever dog can come in many types.

    Obviously, a smart canine is just potential without a person ready to put in the time and effort to train and channel the dog's cleverness. Dogs are about as intelligent as the average two-year-old, but there is a range of intelligence across several breeds.|Intelligence in dog breeds can refer to many attributes. Some dog breeds are easier 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 most-liked dog breeds. Initially bred as gun dogs, the Golden Retriever is an intelligent, friendly and trainable mate.

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

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

Pont-Audemer Spaniel Information

The Pont-Audemer Spaniel is a medium-sized dog, weighing 44 to 60 pounds (20–27 kg), and standing around 50–58 centimetres (20–23 in) at the withers. It is different from most sporting dog breeds in the USA and UK in its length, and the pointed quality of the muzzle.The Pont-Audemer Spaniel's coat is curly or, at the very least, quite wavy, but smooth around the face. The most common pattern is brown and white roan but a solid brown coat is also acceptable. Both coat patterns can have red-brown “dead leaf glints”. Black or tan markings are faults. The hair on the face is short. The topknot can take up to five years to fully develop. Most Pontos have docked tails. Tails that are left intact are usually well feathered like that of a setter, although it is not unheard of for a Ponto to have the shorthaired “rat-tail” of an Irish Water Spaniel.

Though hardy, as well as hard-working, the breed has the typical spaniel traits of being easy to train, gentle, and affectionate. The dogs are known to have a fun-loving quality and in France are said to be le petit clown des marais (the little clown of the marshes). Pont-Audemer Spaniels are usually found in a working gundog environment, and are rarely kept as mere family pets. The dogs specialize as water dogs. At the start of the 20th century they were prized for their use in hunting wild ducks in either the water or marshy conditions. They remain used in France in various terrain, and used for hunting rabbits or pheasants.
