I have had Jack Russel terriers (SMART)
Rottweiler (too smart to do what YOU want)
German Spitz (hey, they’re pretty….pretty DUMB! but smart enought to look cute when in trouble! lol)
& assorted muts – LOVE THEM ALL
But yes, Kelpies have to be considered;
And yes, the list is actually obedient dogs, not necessarily intelligent dogs.
An intelligent dog will work out how to help itself to the dog biscuits – a obedient dog will learn a dumb trick for little or no reward. There is a difference!

Koolies should be top of this list for brightest dogs who can think for themselves.

We have a kelpie who is 11 and she s adorable. i got my daughter a kelpie pup for xmas and she is a bundle of energy and such a clown when at play. I have heard kelpies have a stupitity stage they go thru for the first 5yrs or more. I would love info on this as i dont want my daughter ripping her hair out while trying to deal with it.
Kelpies are loyal,trustworthy,protective and very loving animals. More people should have one they are more than working dogs they are best friends with us.

What Rotties” don’t even get a mention for the smartest. They haven’t met my Mooka. He picks things up for us, takes our socks off, rides a skate board but HE’S the smartest because he knows when our daughter (who is bi-polar) is heading for a crash ( what we call her serious bouts of depression). Mooka get restless goes in and out of her room until she and takes him for a walk…
On our smartest list he’s right up there as top of the list.

I’ve got a Doberman & I know Kelpies well from our farm & friends, I have to agree with the list with the Dobes coming in ahead. Mine is a great watchdog but as gentle as anything & I wouldn’t say fearless, the cats boss her around.

Oh, and I too agree that Australian Kelpies should definitely be in the Top 5 biddable list!
