Breeds I've owned...

I won't be able to recall them all. I can say for sure than most were mutts.
As far as pedigreed - German Shepard, Rottweiler, Irish Setter, Basset Hound, Bloodhound, Siberian Husky, Labrador (both black and chocolate), Vizsla, and currently an English Springer Spaniel. I'm sure I'm leaving a breed or two out.
In order of intelligence I'd say #1 is the Vizsla and #2 The German Shepard. The German Shepard is more 'people like', by far actually, but the Vizsla is the fastest learner.
I taught Lucca, my Vizsla, at least 25 commands before he was 2 months old. maybe more than 25. He could learn a new command in minutes and retain it forever. German Shepards seem to me to learn even if you don't teach them anything.
I remember being anxious to teach my Vizsla to 'point', (I was ignorant)... first day out I took him into my front yard where I have a tree and bush lined ditch... he ran to the ditch and went into the most perfect "point" I've ever seen. Job done.
