Dog intelligence is usually determined by reports of the judges who oversee obedience trials. Stanley Coren, who is the author of The Intelligence of Dogs bases his ranking of intelligence on one yardstick—outstanding trainability. This would be defined by how quickly the breed learns commands and how often the breed follows through with given commands, preferably more than 9 out of 10 times.
He has chosen the following as his top five:

1. Border Collie excels at dog tricks and is said to be able to recall over 1,000 words.
2. Poodle who originally was bred as a water dog for hunting in Germany as well as a working dog with the military. Poodles often do well in agility trials.
3. German Shepherd was also trained as a working dog who accompanied soldiers. As well as a high I.Q., the German shepherd has a strong sense of smell which is why they are often used by police in searches for drugs or bombs. They can be aggressively protective.
4. Golden Retriever was bred as a hunter and a water retriever. They generally have a gentle temperament which allows them to work well with people, such as being a guide dog for the blind.
5. Doberman Pinscher is intelligent and easily trained. They are strong and can be intimidating. Recent training has been designed to make them less aggressive.

There can be some negatives to high intelligence. They must be kept occupied or they may find negative ways to occupy themselves. They are great at learning skills on their own as well as from a trainer, but these may not always be acceptable skills.
A dog’s relationship with his/her human companion is far more meaningful than intelligence.

Have you ever seen your dog cock his head as if he is trying to make sense of what you’re saying to him? Is this really what it means?

Experts on animal behavior suggest that your dog may be focusing on a specific word that he is hearing that seems to him to relate to a favorite activity such as going for a walk or playing Frisbee.

It could also be the dog’s attempt to identify where the sound is coming from. Dogs have a unique ability to determine the distance of the sound. Knowing how dogs respond to positive reinforcement, repeated praise for the cocking of the head in the past may trigger this behavior in the future.

Although we as dog lovers would like to assign this behavior to elevated intelligence, some behavioral specialists claim that the gesture may have more to do with certain socialization problems or even medical issues. That may apply to other dogs, but I still like to think that mine is doing his best to really try to connect and understand.
