    Each dog breed has a varying intelligence quotient, making it harder or easier to train certain dogs. An individual should consider how patient and steady he or she is willing to be when it comes to training a dog and should then apply that to which breed would fit best with their personality. The intelligence of a dog is based on how quickly and consistently it learns and obeys commands, how well it performs a given task, and how willing it is to learn humanistic jobs. Border collies are said to be the smartest dog breed as they learn quickly and have “amazing instinct and working ability.” They are known to herd sheep and remain in control of a flock, just as shepherds do. Border collies would therefore be ideal for a person who isn’t willing…
