Smartest Dogs - Our List has the Border Collie #1 |
The Border Collie is a dog breed
developed in the Anglo-Scottish border region for use on farms to assist with
the herding of livestock. Their intelligence has been observed as having an
intuitive quality that goes well beyond basic instinct. Such sensitivity calls
for an environment that regards their higher faculties; otherwise, they can
become distressed. With this understanding, they are excellent companion
animals. Typically extremely energetic, acrobatic and athletic, they frequently
compete with great success in dog sports, in addition to their success in
sheepdog trials, and are often cited as the most intelligent of all dogs.
