These fast learners love challenges and often excel in sports where they have to use their intelligence, such as agility and obedience to competition. Unlike many other breeds in the burrow group, Miniature Schnauzers have the desire and intelligence to please.

The Springer is the place where beauty and utility meet. The Springer Spaniel’s energy, endurance, intelligence and gentle movement have earned them a place of choice in the world of bird dogs. But a Springer – with its elegantly marked coat, fiery spaniel expression and long, lush ears – would be appreciated for its beauty, even if it could not distinguish a grouse from a mouse – what it can!

Beglian Tervuren, Sheepdog and Malinois are all descendants of the Belgian sheepdog and all deserve to be on the list because of their intelligent nature and affinity for sports such as agility, tracking, breeding and sledging.

According to the AKC, the flat-coated retriever, which comes from the same family as the Labrador, is confident and intelligent, making it a very energetic hunting dog. Like the Lab, the flat-coat is not only one of the most intelligent dogs, but also a wonderful therapy dog.

Given that bloodhounds have a sense of smell that is three million times better than a human’s, which in addition to their intelligent nature, makes them perfect for tracking or finding people, it just seems wrong not to give them at least an honorable mention here. Fun fact: The Bloodhound’s ability to trail a scent is so accurate that it will hold up in a court of law.
