Dog intelligence is the ability of a dog to learn, think, and solve problems. Dog trainers, owners, and researchers have as much difficulty agreeing on a method for testing canine intelligence as they do for human intelligence.

Other breeds, such as sled dogs and sight hounds demonstrate intelligence in other ways. From Wikipedia under the

Heck, even doggies that aren t that bright occasionally display shards of brilliance in their everyday behavior, whether it s darting out of the path of a falling pot or smiling at the faraway music of the ice-cream truck. It s only natural for us to look for things in our pets that we look for in our children or in each other: a keen mind, a sense of humor, loyalty and compassion. But let s face it; the attribute we tend to brag about most is our dog s level of intelligence. There is no one type of canine intelligence. According to Stanley Coren, author of The Intelligence of Dogs, there are three major types of dog intelligence that can be measured by canine IQ… [cont.] Answered by MJ23_4life - Fri Feb 17 19:01:00 2006 Ok dog lovers what is your best story showing dog intelligence?

We lived way out in the country at the end of a road. When I would be playing outside and would try to cross the road the dog would keep blocking my way so I could not get in the road. There were rattle snakes in our area and while I was playing the dog would always stay nearby.
