OF COURSE Border Collies are number 1 and Aussies are number 42! der Veegan. >_< heh, that makes no sense to me either, Aussies are usually one of the closest breeds in OB competitions to BC's.

I would not argue that BC's aren't #1 though, I've never met a dog as easily trained as Gonzo. I guess it is measured by readiness to learn new tricks and perform them right away, like the level of stubborness ~ not by actual intellegence. Bulldogs are 3rd to last, even though Ben is a chow-hound and will learn any trick by the second repitition if good food is involved ^.^
