Dogs lay around all day scratching themselves and eating free food. We're out working to provide that for them. They're already smarter than us.

An article at MSN.com listed the 37 smartest breeds, instantly making me feel not so smart. 37 breeds? Until today, I don't think I could have named more than 10. According to UBC psychology professor Stanley Coren:

...the top 10 most intelligent dogs only need fewer than five repetitions to understand a new command, and 95% of the time (or better) obey the first command. The second tier of dogs, which he names “excellent working dogs,” understand new commands after five to 15 repetitions and obey the first command 85% of the time (or better). The third tier, which he names “above average working dogs,” understand new commands after 15 to 25 repetitions and obey first commands 70% of the time (or better).

So, which dog breeds made the top 10? These guys:

None of my dogs cracked the top 37 but, they're still smarter than some of the people I know!
