Which breed of dogs are named after a German tax collector
The Intelligence of Dogs by breed. Its use of expert opinion followed precedent. Coren found substantial agreement in the judges' rankings of working and obedience intelligence, with Border collies consistently named in the top ten and Afghan Hounds consistently named in the lowest. The highest ranked dogs in this category were Border collies, Poodles, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and Doberman Pinschers. Dogs that are not breeds recognized by the American Kennel Club or Canadian Kennel Club (such as the Jack Russell Terrier) were not included in Coren's rankings. When Coren's list of breed intelligence first came out there was much media attention and commentary
Old German herding dogs There may be other surviving landraces, not subject to any attempts to establish breed standards. Old German herding dogs The old German herding dogs ('), including old German sheep-dogs or old German shepherd dogs (""') are a group of traditional types of working, herding dogs from Germany. They are landraces consisting of working strains of dog, and some of them are the types from which the modern German Shepherd Dog was developed as a standardised breed. The landraces are not recognised by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale, but some have their own standards which are for working ability, not appearance traits.
