Based on 80 repetitions that the pooches were supposed to perform, nearly 200 judges from both U.S. and Canadian Kennel Clubs rated the intelligence of certain breeds based on how they mastered the commands. If your dog is on the list, don't fret...they're still adorable:

Afghan Hound
Basenji
Bulldog
Chow Chow
Bloodhound
Borzoi (Russian Wolfhound)
Pekingese
Beagle
Mastiff
Basset Hound

When I was young I lived in Donegal. Our nearest neighbour was about two miles away and I kept going missing in the bogs and woods that surrounded our home. Eventually my parents dressed me in red in bright red so that I was easy to spotted at a distance and they got me an Irish Red setter as a companion. Based on my experience with this particular dog and others I believe that Irish Setters Should be on this list, instead of me going missing both the dog and myself went missing on a regular basis and he kept getting me into trouble. We also had a Mastff, there was no way to judge his intelligence as he was always asleep.
