many people underestimate Poodles
Longarms
I never knew poodles were so intelligent. that surprises me very much

These are just dog breeds who’s general intelligence is acknowledged. Of course other breeds are smart, but these are say easier to train and therefore we consider smarter. I think in the end, all dogs just want their treat.

Give me a GSD any day. I have had all dogs listed above and my GSD was the smartest dog I have been owned by.

Surely that's somewhat subjective?

At two different points in my life, owned both a German Shepherd and a standard poodle. Both were fantastic, and much loved members of the family... still missed to this day, no others like those two

Nearlyfit, crossbreeds are also much underestimated. I had a Collie cross rescue dog. Coloring of a Collie but short haired and a little smaller. Never did find out what he was crossed with but he was the cleverest dog I've ever known.

"In order of intelligence" should logically be lesser to greater, increasing in intelligence. This wants the order to be from greater to lesser. Not sensible.

This question has rather subjective answers. Where are the references to official tests and why only AKC breeds? But I my opinion, Border Collies are incredibly smart and probably deserve top billing.

Nearlyfit, Within poodles collectively are standards smarter than smaller sized ones?

Both Rottweilers and Corgis are extremely intelligent breeds. Easily trainable as well as independent thinkers. Recommend them highly!

I find it strange that the Catahoula was not even mentioned in this

I would love to have a border collie, but I live in the US South and it's too hot for them here, imo.

Longarms, you can google poodles that went with Napoleon's armies. Especially "Moustache".
