It's poodles and everyone who disagrees either has emotional investment causing them to disagree or they genuinely don't know what they're talking about
Are we talking standard or shitty ass "toys" and "minitures"?
Minis are fricking moronic, at least toys were used in euro circuses and could hunt truffles with their superior noses. Minis just lie on couches depreciating with their teddy bear haircuts.
This anon has a massive penis and knows his shit.
Mad how insanely biased every single homosexual tht argues dog intelligence is
They just want their favourite dog to be smart and/or their least favourite dog breed to be dumb and form their arguments around those conclusions
I have 3 vastly different types of dog and was just going off experience
Huskoids are dumb
Huskoid - samoyed/husky mix
Yeah that has a 50% chance of being dumb but normal huskies are the smartest dogs
Huskies are the smartest dogs cope
They're average at best
Correct

There are two primary benchmarks for intelligence; how quickly dogs learn how to perform jobs (based on their instincts and natural abilities) and how motivated a dog is (based on their desire to please; not food)
There is no definitive ranking of the smartest dog breeds, but there are about 20 breeds that are widely regarded as the most intelligent because they meet the previously mentioned criteria/benchmarks. If your dog isn't on that list, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are not smart, it simply means that they are not among the top 20. Among the top 20, certain breeds stand out, such as Belgian Malinois and Border Collies.
Below them, are German Shepherds, Australian Shepherds, Collies, Shetland Sheepdogs, Dutch Shepherds, Belgian Tervurens, Australian Cattle Dogs, and Australian Kelpies.
For the following category. We can put dogs like Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, Poodles (standards), Rottweilers, and Doberman Pinschers.
Below the upper echelon (I've left out descriptions as the topic is about dogs in the upper echelon, therefore irrelevant. Alaskan Klee Kais, Azawhaks, Bloodhounds, Drentsche Patrijshonds, and Kai Kens
Next, American Staffordshire Terriers, Briards, and Chinooks.
Then, Barbados De Terceira, Appenzeller Sennenhunds, Barbets, Kishu Kens, and Korean Jindo Dogs.
Here are several breeds that are leftover. They're not dumb; they aren't at the top of canine intelligence. Papillon, Poodles (toy), and the Russkaya Tsvetnaya Bolonka.
How quickly a dog learns to perform a "job" is modulated entirely by their motivation. So this isn't an intelligence test at all, it's a temperament test for blind servitude.
>but not food!
And food doesnt count because? Its just a dopamine reward just like handler attention is for a dog permanently stuck with a puppy's emotional maturity. Because food isnt practical or allowed in dog sports, right? Then you're not testing intelligence, you're testing for neuroticism suitable for dog sports.
I strongly believe it is much safer and more correct to assume that actual general intelligence varies more within breeds than between breeds and the only thing that differs is how submissive and unconditionally attached they are to their owners, and intelligence has almost nothing to do with obedience other than meeting a minimum. Unless you can establish average cortical neuron counts on a per breed basis and that it differs more between breeds than within breeds, there is no discussion to be had, only worthless conjecture littered with hubris ridden morons saying "I MAN, MAN GREAT, DOG NO LISTEN TO ME MUST BE DUMB" (<-would also say "i'd sooner die on my feet than listen to commies!") or "A SMART DOG WOULDNT DO YOUR DUMB SHIT FOR POSSIBLE FOOD OR YOUR TRITE ATTENTION" (<-probably accepts bi-weekly pay for above average working hours)
Ok, suppose you are correct (highly unlikely). What are the top breeds?
>What really is the smartest dog breed (not obedience wise)
>(not obedience wise)
Learn to read you fricking moron.
Here's the citation that you conveniently forgot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Intelligence_of_Dogs
>Brightest Dogs
>Understanding of new commands: fewer than 5 repetitions.
>Obey first command: 95% of the time or better.
This is not a measure of general intelligence (as in IQ or similar measures). This is merely a measure of how useful a working breed can be to humans. Nothing more, nothing less. Describing this trait as "intelligence" is a misnomer. This study measures nothing more than obedience and utility.
There've been numerous studies since then which have measured general intelligence in canines, and often the most obedient breeds are found to be the least intelligent (in a meaningful sense of the word). Here's just one example: https://bigthink.com/life/dog-intelligence-test/
>Border Collies scored at or near the top in social cognition, inhibitory control, and spatial problem-solving ability, while Labrador Retrievers scored near the bottom.
>social cognition
>inhibitory control
>spatial problem-solving ability
Those are three VALID measure of intelligence (again, in a meaningful and accurate sense of the word), in direct opposition of your statement:
>There are two primary benchmarks for intelligence
Simply put... No, there aren't only two benchmarks for intelligence. No, you did not accurately idedntify even ONE measure of intelligence in canines.
Your benchmarks for measuring canine intelligence are well thought out and can paint an accurate representation of canine intelligence, despite what others say. The list you have provided is quite accurate, given your pretenses.
Basset hounds are subcanine
pathetic samegay
>Belgian Malinois and Border Collies.

standard poodle mogs both
Labs mog poodles, do labs mog Mals and BCs? There’s your answer.
>Labs mog poodles
They really don't.
>There are two primary benchmarks for intelligence; how quickly dogs learn how to perform jobs (based on their instincts and natural abilities) and how motivated a dog is (based on their desire to please; not food)
Wolves are smarter than any domestic dog, but would score as very unintelligent based on just those two criteria
>Wolves are smarter than any domestic dog
Source?
nta but google is a good place to start looking you colostomy bagel.
Dogsat a border collie mix and she was probably the smartest dog I've ever seen. When we were playing tug of war I was literally picking her up, but she went easy on my grandma. Also she memorized the two mile walk we did after the first time. Also, really weird but she "marked her territory" like a male dog
My female dog does this too, lifts her leg and everything. Apparently it's relatively common.
She only started doing it after living with my other male, and she has a sort of #bossb***h personality.
I can tell you what the dumbest dog is:
Australian shepherds. Hooooo boy. I have no idea how something that obedient can be that dumb but australian shepherds are so moronic they get stuck in corners and end up hitting their heads on the wall trying to get out.
More like ausfailian shepTURD!
They should have called them american collies to maintain distance from actual smart dogs ie: german shepherds. Nippy little morons.
Good joke.
The Pete
he must get his brains from the husky side
Obedience is intelligence in dogs because they do not have higher brain function
How quickly they learn something is the only meaningful fauge of their intelligence and frankly its usually the gauge of human intelligence too (how well do you do after a year of schooling vs others after the same period of schooling)
t. 100 iq bootlicker
No green arrow. L
So huskies are extremely smart then
but i thought they were le epic independent doggos??
They are, but they also learn incredibly fast.
Wrong
Accurate. Huskies are just smart.
>noooo dogs are dumb!
Dogs have higher brain function and can understand abstract language.
>NOOOO IM THE SUPERIOR BEING THEY NEED TO OBEY ME
Only an idiot would die licking your boots
Probably dingos or some other primitive as frick feral or semi-feral breed. Outside of those, it is probably some spitz.
Huskies are not smart and it has little to do with biddability, as Bloodhounds whom are similarly stubborn, are also highly intelligent.
Nobody said stubborn.
No, bloodhounds are not similar to huskies. At all.
bloodhounds are dumb as frick
Decision-making abilities were progressively bred out of modern breeds in favor of biddability and blind obedience. This is why truly intelligent dogs are difficult to train, and why most of the smartest breeds are primitive.
Primitive dogs learn commands quickly, and (crucially) they can *choose* not to obey them.
This. Wild canids like wolves, dingos, etc are the smartest. Primitive breeds and working breeds in roles requiring intuition like herding also tend to be smarter
He was right
I kneel
Toadlines
IQ has nothing to do with race
small terriers are the smartest dogs i regularly encounter but they use their intelligence for evil so it's downplayed
Coyote esque dog breeds
They thrive even now spreading like cancer
well, you already posted it, don't know what else there is to say. it is obviously the border collie.
If these count as dogs then they’re definitely at least one of the highest
Cape Hunting Dogs
Border Collies
Inb4 some braindead tries to claim huskies are 'smartur aktchually' because their dog doesn't listen to them and they can't stop huffing copium.
>Inb4 some braindead tries to claim huskies are 'smartur aktchually' because their dog doesn't listen to them and they can't stop huffing copium.
Based
Probably a malinois, husky, wolfdog, or DDR german shepherd
inb4 seethe
Border Collie, GSD, Malinois or a lucky mutt between these breeds. Other closely related shepherding breeds also apply.
>husky
Lmao no, they're kinda dumb. Quite loveable, but not very smart.
No, huskies are very smart.
Huskies.
the closest breed to wolf
youre the reason huskies and their owners are hated here
huscucks are delusional
>they're kinda dumb
Not wanting to follow your dumbshit orders != dumb
Well...yeah they are. We are the superior organism therefore we call the shots. Simple as.
Collies have the highest IQ of dogs. What other benchmark for intelligence do you want?
If all other animals including humans disappeared, what dog breed would rule the world
probably huskies, i mean they're like 4 steps away from being wolves
It wouldn't be a single breed, but a mix of the popular breeds in a given area. Short muzzles would disappear eventually though.
Looks like a wolf =/= is a wolf. Huskies are as genetically close to wolves as all other dog breeds. They were just bred for conditions that make them look on a surface level like wolves.
Fricking moron
Pseudoscience popsci tier nonsense.

Landrace breeds.
Huskies
See
probably huskies
doggays just hate them because they display minimal empathy and emotional attachment towards humans. a husky is not guiding blind children around. they have no feelings for people. they’ll guide a blind dog around, if they like them. they dont protect people. they dont check on people when they’re sick or hurt. they get scared when people cry. they dont show any loyalty to a single owner. but they’re pretty smart, which doesnt have anything to do with having the social constitution of a wild animal. the japanese accidentally left some in antarctica with no food or water, 2/8 survived several months and didnt eat their dead packmates.
>Mishka, come!
>No.
>Mishka, we have cheese!
>Liar.
>Mishka, timmy fell down a well!
>Good. Frick him.
but my husky is loyal, not my problem.
Your husky would happily adapt to a new owner within 3 days
Sorry.
t. husky owner
I mean if a dog cannot adapt to new owners then is it really a good dog?
is there a for real dog IQ test out there? I want to do it so I can find out what my dog IQ is
holy shit some of these dogs are smarter than I am
>the average iq of a dog is equal to the average iq of a human
>this may seem low
Not sure if intentional joke
Not a joke, just a fact.
<115 IQ = not a human
Wasn't 100 IQ originally meant to be baseline though (IQ standards per population increasing over the decades not withstanding)? Intelligence is also heavily segregated into different facets of how a person functions anway and it is why trying to nail down dumb vs smart dogs is so complicated as there is so many different standards you could compare or gauge to determine wether your hound is a genius or total moron. Just look at husky gays vs GSD/Akita gays with their "my dog is not dumb it just ignores you on purpose while your dog is dumb for following every order given to it!" back and forth.
Akita is an asian spitz and ancient breed, try again.
You guys ought to read a book or something.
I don't get too bogged down on breed tribalism so I dont give too much of shit personally. As long as a dog is not dangerous and can be trained without exploding someday and maul some grandma I am happy. If you think I was meaning to imply that GSDs and Akitas were one in the same that was not my intention. I grouped them because Akita gays along with GSD gays because get into arguments with Husky gays all the time.
Appreciate you outlining exactly why you're a stupid homosexual unqualified to hold any respectable opinion.
>Appreciate you outlining exactly why you're a stupid homosexual unqualified to hold any respectable opinion.

Irrelevant, did you know that:
Huskies are dumber than German Shepherd Dogs
Prong collars are animal abuse
Dinosaurs had feathers
Drinking bleach causes death
Cats are a reddit animal
Ecosystems do not function without predators
Wolves are a keystone species
>Huskies are dumber than German Shepherd Dogs
Huskies are more cat-like despite having dog sized brains therefore they are supreme gentlemen. Simple as, dogeredditor.
Cat Chads hereby recognize spitzes as honorary Felines.
Akita gays are just husky gays with bigger penises (or looser buttholes). No difference otherwise.
Meek comparison as cats are extremely moronic.
As for akitas? They’re more German Shepherd Dog than anything, check what happened to their breeding stock in WW2. *pikachu face*
>Meek comparison as cats are extremely moronic
This. Its why I like cats and why I think they have so much charm. There is a reason why autists identify with them so much and joke about how all cats are autistic. But reword cats being autistic to stupid and autists lose their minds because they know that by extension they are stupid for identifying with them.
what the frick is a GSD sounds like something a urologist diagnoses you with
German shepherd dog. Easier to string into a sentence.
That's not a reputable source
how does something like that even make it online lol
This. These frickers have uncanny social intelligence and lateral thinking compared to all other dog breeds I have ever met or owned. Not the fake cross breeds though, they can be sent to the kennels.
