Border Collies are quite smart, that's part of the reason they excel at Training/Agility Competitions.
My Golden, on the other hand is about as smart as a Box of Rocks, but lovable nonetheless.

Couldn't spell 'walk' in front of our last dog, she knew what it meant and would get excited enough to start knocking things over in her rush toget out.

Research Shows Dogs Can Comprehend Words er ... huh?
To: KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle
The key to the experiment was that the dog was a Border Collie.
We had a Border Collie, Barney, (who died of cancer). He was smarter than us, and had more stamina than any two dogs combined that we have owned in the past.
I can recall that while he was still a pup, he would come into the house and my wife would say "dirty feet"!, and he would run to the bathroom and jump into the tub.
Okay, no more puppy stories! (I can here the "aww how sweet" reactions from here! LOL

I had a neighbor with a standard poodle. Smartest dog I ever saw. I could tell it to go get a hat and it would look all over the house until it found a hat and brought it back to me. Same thing with slippers, socks, balls, bones, dollys, etc. It make it more amazing, it could distinguish between slippers and shoes or you could say caps or hats and the dog knew you meant the same thing. Also if you asked for a slipper or a hat it would bring you one, but if you asked for slippers or hats, it would bring you two. To make it all the more interesting, a complete stranger could tell this to the dog and the dog would understand the words, so it was not the tone or inflection of the words spoken by the dog's owner. It seemed to me the dog actually understood the meaning of the word itself.

I had an old mutt dog that had a pretty large "vocabulary," if that's what you want to call it. I'll never forget the day we brought home our first child. The dog obviously knew that something was up, but he really astonished me when I said, just to see how he'd react, "Go see if the baby's okay." He immediately jumped up and took off full speed for the bedroom where the little one was asleep. When he got to the edge of the room he did an abrupt stop, then actually tiptoed as quiet as a mouse to the crib, stuck his head over the top, tiptoed back out, and came running back to me with his tail wagging.
The dog I own now is so sagacious that he can actually unwind himself from a post, patiently going around and around until he's free. I've never seen a dog that could do that kind of thing. It's amazing, because in order to get what he wants he actually has to move away from the the object he's seeking. That, to my mind, requires some kind of foresight.

If you've ever spent any amount of time with a seeing eye dog, this is a no-brainer. Those dogs have a vocabulary of 50 words to which they actually respond. If told "let's go to the bathroom" off they go without fail. In an office setting, they'll even put spoken names to cubicles and lead their owners there.
It's the most remarkable thing you'll ever see.

According to every episode of Lassy, all the humans in her home town could interpret two barks and a woof as indicating what particular trouble little Timmy had gotten himself into. It was uncanny. Damn dog did it every week.
