what is the most intelligent/trainable breed of dog?

The tricky thing with dogs being very smart is that they also need more attention--they get bored quite easily. I had a very smart Poodle mixed with a Scottish Terrier and he was quite the trouble-maker when he was a puppy. He was very easily trained to do tons of things, but he often got bored when left alone too long. He caught frisbees in mid-air, climbed ladders, bounced balloons off of his nose, and caught a ball and retrieved it faster than you would believe. He also was able to scale a board that was at least triple his height and completely destroyed our couch set!There are many dogs that are very smart and trainable... the key is finding which one is right for your needs and how much time you're willing to put into the dog.

Intelligence does not always equal trainability. Sometimes intelligent dogs can be more of a challenge to train. As for intelligence, Border Collies are number 1. GSDs are number 3 I think. As for trainable. Labs are infamous for being trainable. Any breed that is willing and eager to please is generally trainable. I don't know wolfhounds. Sorry

Here is a list of the smartest dogs! And so you don't look around trying to find the Irish Wolfhound, they are 41. But my nieghbor has one, and she says that he was very easy to train!
