Most Intelligent Dog in the World - Border Collie - video

Sure is cute, and obviously easily trained. I know most put a lot of stock in dogs easily trained equaling intelligence, and in part that is true, but as in people, one of the best signs of intelligence is when that animal can think things out on their own without being told or trained in that area...or having been trained in certain areas and then linking them with other areas and carrying the thought process further on their own.

All dogs have the capability to reason and think things out on their own, and to know the difference between good and bad, and what will hurt them or another, and what won't, just as people do, but like many people, some dogs would rather not, LOL.
