Answer 2

Epiphany has the correct list and the answer to this question. But I would add a word of caution. Don't just get a puppy based on the list. I have owned and trained german shepherds for years. They are a wonderful breed. My daughter has border collies. You have to be very committed to these dogs. You also have to be pretty experienced or willing to spend time in obedience classes working with people who will help you help your dog become the wonderful companion they can become, because these dogs can be harder to handle (and I don't necessarily mean aggression), Also, these intelligent breeds, at least german shepherds, stay very willful puppies for about 3 years. They are well worth it, but you need to know what you are getting into.

Answer 3

That is hard to say. Different people see different things as showing intelligence. Dogs differ within a breed. Poodles are often considered stupid, but some of them succeed as service dogs, valued for their lack of the dander that causes most dog allergies.
If you are looking for a dog that can be trained easily, you may not want the most intelligent. Huskies are highly intelligent dogs. They can difficult to train because even if they know exactly what you want, they know how to get what they want without doing it.
For a civilized dog, perhaps look at a Sheltie, Australian Shepherd, or a Golden Retriever.They are all fairly long haired and will require brushing, but most of the shorter haired dogs shed badly.You can find more about any breed at www.akc.org.
Choosing a dog is a very personal thing. You need to actually see a variety.You could drop in on an obedience class. Most of the people will be happy to talk about their dog, and many will give honest answers about grooming and nature. See the problems people are asking forhelp on. Dogs vary so much within a breed, even among litter mates. Some field Labs are as hyper as any pointer.You want to look for a calm dog.
Maybe ask to visit the breeders home. Field and show champions can be bred in kennels. Dogs where the mother lives in the house have the best personalities. Some kids to fondle the puppies from birth are better yet. If the breeder doesn't want the parents in their house, do you want the off spring in yours? Spend as much time with the parents as you can. Nice parents don't guarantee nice puppies, but don't chance bad parents. Of course ask about hip and eye certification or other genetic problems common to your breed too.
I think the Golden Retrievers are best choice for family pets. Perhaps I am making the mistake of judging the whole breed by my friends' dog. But I see others too. They love attention, and are sturdy enough and good natured to tolerate almost anything.The Australian Shepherds are great too and shed less.They are
smaller than the Golden and tend to be less nippy than some of the other herding dogs. They shed terribly too.
Consider the animal shelter. There are many nice dogs, and you can see how they look with little or no grooming. You can also see how they behave. Look for dogs that want your attention, but are not going wild. Leave the ones that retreat to the back of their cage. Look at their teeth. Look for ones that still show a 3 lobed, clove like pattern on the front ones. Leave the ones that fight letting you look at their teeth too much. If the points are worn off the teeth, it is an older dog that may break your heart by dying too soon.
Pinch the web between its toes. It hurts. It is OK for the dog to pull away or whine, but it shouldn't growl, snap or show its teeth. Think about size. In a small apartment, a Golden might knock over the lamps when it walks through wagging its tail. Since the shelter likely will kill most of the dogs, you may as well pick out a nice one.
Finding a good breeder and purchasing a puppy that will make a good pet is very difficult. Almost nobody is intentionally breeding dogs to be nice pets. Most of your so called reputable breeders are breeding for show or something. They may say the puppies they don't keep for their purpose make great pets, but the truth is that the parents were selected for other than health and temperament. Often they keep the puppies in the kennel too long and they miss the important early socialization puppies need to live in the house with people.

Next are the disreputable breeders. They breed any 2 registered dogs they can lay a hold of looking only at the money they can make selling them to pet stores. Pet store puppies are easy to find, but difficult to socialize into nice pets, perhaps difficult to even keep alive. You will not get what you pay for at a pet store.

One of the best sources for dogs with a predictable personality is the rescue dogs. These are dogs that lost their home, but were taken into a foster home to be retrained as necessary and placed in the right home for them.You may find a rescue near you starting at http://www.akc.org/breeds/rescue.cfm The rescues charge a fee to help cover their expenses, but is much less than the price of a puppy plus all its medical expenses the first year.
www.akc.org and www.purina.com have breed selector pages on their site. You
might try them. Don't take a recommendation for some obscure, hard to find breed too seriously. Even if your puppy doesn't grow up like you expected, how you raise it helps make it what you need.The first 12 weeks of a dog's life greatly affect its adult personality. Expose it to your lifestyle, and it will be comfortable with you.

Answer 4

German Shepherds, followed by Doberman Pinschers.
During World War II, in a mine field, the Shepherd would run through towards the enemy in a straight line, while the Doberman would carefully sniff and proceed with caution; thereby avoiding the mines.
The one "BIG" problem with Dobermans is that they require constant attention; they need to be constantly taught new tricks so as not to get bored because they can cause trouble when they get bored!

Answer 5

Border Collie.

Answer 6

According to statistics the poodle is the most aggressive dog and the border collie the most intelligent.

Answer 7

Border Collies. I have one who is wonderfully royal and intelligent. Though, I have to say I sometimes wonder if he is smarter than me...They watch you very carefully all the time and pick up things quickly, even the stuff you don't want them to learn. They need lots of different toys, treats, and attention to keep them busy all the time. They learn unwanted tricks if they get bored. They love learning new tricks to impress you.
It was my first puppy and he and I went though about 25 frisbees, 20 tennis balls, other toys, and many household items...

Answer 8

A mongrel, it is also the strongest "breed" without imbread problems experienced by the pedigrees.

And most importantly, it is a dog with most of a character, that will suit the unique personality of its owner.

Answer 9

Mini Schnauzers, you have to keep them busy or they will find something to get into and out smart you.
Also Poodles are very smart.
German~ shepards I know they are police dogs, but think about it they don't mind doing the same thing over and over and over again.
My min schnauzer gets bored by doing the same thing and you have to be willing to change up the activity.
They can be stubborn and this shows that they are sometimes smarter than their owner!
