10. Miniature and Toy Poodle
Miniature and Toy Poodles are the only breeds on this list that are not marked for trainability with a clear 5, but between 4 and 5. It seems they have more temper than their larger relatives, Standard Poodles. People not that familiar with dog breeds are often surprised to see either of the Poodles on the lists of smartest dogs or easily-trained dogs. Is it because of their funny looks? Who knows why there is so much prejudice against this breed. Nevertheless, all training experts and their owners can confirm that this is a very intelligent and obedient breed.
