According to the Age (10 August 2009), dogs can be as smart as a two-year-old toddler. The smartest breeds can learn up to 250 words. It’s just so surprising to me that dogs are actually this smart. They must have lots of things going on in their cute little heads.
The news piece also provided a ranking, saying border collies and poodles are the smartest, followed by German shepherds, golden retrievers, Doberman pinschers, Shetland sheepdogs and Labrador retrievers.
