Have you ever wondered how intelligent your dog is compared to other dog breeds? Or would you like to learn more about the world's smartest dog breeds? If so, you have come to the right place.We've identified the ten smartest dog breeds in the world and gone over some of their distinguishing characteristics for you here!1.Border CollieIf you want the most intelligent dog breed, the Border Collie is it. They are incredibly intelligent and active canines with a background in herding. However, keep in mind that, despite their intelligence, they have strong herding instincts and are not usually the best companions for little children or cats. But with a little consistency and instruction, you can teach a Border Collie almost anything!2.PoodleThe Poodle is another well-known intelligent dog breed, and what makes them unique is that they come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Poodles are also regarded more hypoallergenic than other breeds and get along well with children and other dogs, so they can fit into almost any family. No surprise these dogs are so popular!3.German ShepherdIf you want a working dog, there's a reason why the German Shepherd is so popular. They're intelligent enough to learn almost any task you give them, and they're dependable enough to keep performing what you want month after month and day after day. They are also fantastic with youngsters, although you should exercise caution when around other dogs.4. Golden RetrieverIf you're seeking for the ideal family dog, the Golden Retriever may be your best option. They get along well with children and other pets, and they never seem to get enough attention from everyone in the household. They're also quite loyal and intelligent, so a little training and consistency may go a long way.5.Doberman PinscherThe Doberman Pinscher is one of the smartest large dog breeds on the globe, with some weighing nearly 100 pounds! They make excellent family dogs who enjoy impressing their people, however it is important to note that these enormous dogs are quite energetic.As a result, we don't recommend getting one unless you have plenty of room for them to run around and expend some energy.

Regarding the delegation of the military regime, there was no specific report on whether the Myanmar military representatives would be present at the meetings this week.Since the military coup in Myanmar in 2021, ASEAN has excluded Myanmar’s military leaders from various meetings in the region, allowing only non-governmental representatives of the country to attend.On the South China Sea issue, Anwar stressed that both Thailand and Malaysia have a common position regarding respecting the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) but continue to maintain normal diplomatic relations with all countries involved in the dispute.
