#1 Dumbest: Stylish and mysteriously ancient, the Afghan Hound nonetheless merits the dubious honor of being ranked the single least intelligent dog breed. The CBS "Early Show" ran a story recently about dogs and their intelligence, or lack thereof. In the story, they shared their list of the top 10 smartest and top 10 dumbest Dog Breeds. These were their picks.

All dogs are smart in their own way, but the shihtzu is the worlds dumbest dog! It is said and proven that smaller dogs tend to be less intelligent, and the shihtzuhas been proven the dumbest! Even though this breed is cute and fluffy, you have to look deep underneath all of that fur to find not only intelligence, but a good personality.

All canines are pretty similar in intelligence levels.

How smart a dog is depends largely on environment: a properly-fed, well-cared-for, well-trained and loved pet is going to be smarter, as far as humans are concerned, than a neglected or abused animal.

A dog born wild and living all its life in the wild will, provided it learns fast, be brilliant at being a wild dog. It won't have any human skills at all.

A domestic dog is another matter.

When it comes to breeds of dog, different breeds are designed to be good at different things, from a human's point of view.

Just as you wouldn't expect a brain surgeon to automatically be a brilliant mechanic or a top jockey to be a natural bull-rider, so you wouldn't expect a cattle dog to excel at retrieving and you wouldn't buy a chihuahua expecting it to grow into a great big guard dog.

If you expect a dog to run after a ball and bring it straight back and hand it over, when all that dog's inbred instincts tell it to grab the ball, and run off with it somewhere and tear it to pieces, you've got the wrong dog. Or you haven't yet taught your dog to do what you expect it to do.

You can train pretty well any dog to do pretty well anything within reason. Keep it simple: remember, the top dog-trainers who teach their animals to amaze us spent years learning to do that. And don't assume a dog is dumb just because it doesn't instinctively do what the totally different breed of dog next door does.

You might as well expect the top dog-trainer to win the Kentucky Derby or the Grand National or the Melbourne Cup.

All dog breeds have their own unique characteristics and abilities, so it is not accurate to label any breed as the "dumbest." Intelligence can vary among individual dogs of any breed.

The most dumbest breed of dog is the Afghan Hound. This might not be 100% true, but they are definitely one of the dumbest dogs in the world. Sorry, not meaning to affend anyone!

They are actually highly intelligent, just not very obedient. They are sly, independent thinkers and if you want them to do something for you, there better be something they like in it for them.

Nope, not at all. They are in fact the 5th Smartest Dog Breed in the whole entire world. They are fast, quick, and have better herding skills then border collies. Border Collies are ranked #1, but the Sheltie honestly is easier trained, and less annoying and hyper. ;)
