Depends on the dog, I think. We had an Afghan Hound.

A dog lady I knew claimed that the narrower the skull, the less intelligent the dog. Afghan Hounds have pretty narrow skulls. Some breeds are bred for narrow skulls, so the breed gets more stupid.

N = 1. I currently have a saluki mix. Think long hair smallish greyhound. He is way smarter than my last dog which was a lab mix.

My lab mix couldn’t understand abstract concepts like pointing. He would just lick your finger. It took me months to teach him to shake, sit, lay down.

My saluki learned sit, stay, come, dance, spin, down, crawl, roll over, shake, and more in like one week of training. He knows the words for frisbee, donut (his favorite toy), lion (another toy), beach, place, eat, and others.
