Which breed/best trained?

[Sighthounds4me]

Can't really say. I own sighthounds, and commiserate with people who own sighthounds, thus I must enjoy a challenge!

But I used to work fir a groomer. So I have to say that among our "regulars" I think it was a standard Poodle that was the best trained. And a real sweetheart!

He never needed a lead; we'd just tell him what we wanted him to do, and he'd do it. Grooming table? no problem. Bathtub? no problem (needed help getting in, though - it was tall!). He was cool. Liked to play games too. He would often smile at me, and offer me a paw, just so I'd come over and he could lick me! It was rather entertaining!

I think a dobermann is the best trained I've encountered. This dog was a robot. Its was kind of off-putting to watch him work. I am around so many dogs though its hard to remember who's impressed me. Autumn is definately one of the smartest dogs I know (toller). She catches on very quickly to new concepts and she knows a lot of words and commands. But, she also knows what she can get away with and likes to cut corners when she can.

My Yorkie, Tanner, can dance, sing, hi-five, shake, say "please", roll over, beg, and balance a treat on his nose for as long as I tell him to. I can walk him without a leash, but I am scared other dogs might try to play with him and be too rough. After all, he weighs only 8 pounds. He never destroyed anything but toilet paper, and he is one and a half years old. He sleeps with me (yes, in my bed) every night, and he sits by the door when he needs to go. Might I add that he can also pose for the camera.

Seriously? Haha. Definitely a Border Collie of sorts. Can't say in particular which BC, but BC's are definitely one of your most biddable/"love-to-learn-and-work" dogs.

I've read that border collies and poodles are the smartest dogs. I've had chihuahuas for years and I think that they are pretty smart. I and my brother were once outsmarted by a chihuahua, we were chasing her around a coffee table, I was at one end and my brother at the other. We thought we had her trapped but then she made her getaway from behind the couch. I just stood there stunned because making a getaway from behind the couch would never have occurred to me.

I've read that border collies and poodles are the smartest dogs.

I have read that in many places as well. I have had poodles all of my life and have found it to be so. My first poodle, a female toy, was housebroken in a weekend. That pretty much sold me on the breed. I think GSD's are also at the top of that list.

outside of my own Border collies, it would have to go to a toy poodle name Bobby..she's kinda famous, #1 obedience dog in Canada, she is so darn adorable to watch lol
