When it comes to determining which dog breed is the most intelligent, you can expect debates from dog lovers. There are different levels of intellect – some are good at communication, some are good at obeying commands, and some have strong senses.
The American Kennel Club is an organization that regulates dog breed standards. It acknowledges 190 breeds, and among them, here are the top 30 that they declare to be the most intelligent, starting off with the 30th spot.
Bernese Mountain Dog
This is a large-sized dog breed that requires a lot of space and exercise. An average full-grown Bernese Mountain Dog could weigh around 100 pounds. If you want to own one, make sure you have a huge backyard or that there is a dog park nearby.

Aside from being an intelligent breed, Bernese Mountain Dogs do well outdoors and are great and gentle with children. They are known to have a tendency to be more attached to one family member than another so do not be surprised if they play favorites.
