    By far, its the border collie. Our border collie is very intelligent. show him something, maybe three times, and its with him forever. Potty training was a snap. He now brings his leash to us, when he needs personal relief. border collie's are a pleasure to have around. Just be ready for plenty of play time and exercise. He will not be ignored!

    It's obvious to me that smaller breeds such as small poodles and terriers are more clever than bigger breeds. (Note; I said CLEVER not SMARTER.) I have a small breed dog as well as a younger large breed dog.

    My small dog took a couple of weeks before she stopped making messes in the house. She's generally very cunning and it only takes a few minutes to teach her a new trick.
    The big one is much younger than the small one and after a year, we have only been able to teach him to 'sit' and 'give paw'.
    However, it only took 1 day and 1 mess to potty train the big guy.

    This, I believe, is because by the time he arrived, we had experience in teaching a dog.
    This leads me to believe there isn't one specific breed that is easier to teach. I think it depends on the actual TEACHER.

    The Kuvaz was the easiest dog we ever had to potty train. They naturally have an instint to go outside.
    They do have their issues and are not necessarily for just anyone. Great dogs by the way. Smarter than a lot of people, not that that is too remarkable.

    The Lab. Next the Aussie and Doberman. By far. Have owned min pin, cocker, beagle, llasa, jack russell and boxer. Had problems with them all. But the Lab NEVER once went in the house. And the Aussie and Doberman very rarely, and only when a young puppies. Maybe its a size thing.

    The dog that stays outside. Unfortunatly, all breeds have lots of work and gentle love given to them. Eventually they get it. If you are willing to giving lots of stimulation, I highly suggest a border collie, or ay of the herding breeds. They tend to be the brightess and "get it" really fast.

    Chow. They're very intelligent but not good with young children or people that don't live with you. They make excellent watch dogs. They're very protective of their owners.

    I'm not sure if this helps or not. My min-pin (miniature pinscher) took literally years to be completely housebroken. In the end she can never be left unattended. If she is, at the age of 8, she will still pee on the floor. On the other hand, my black Lab/GSP (German Shorthair Pointer) mix took exactly 4 days to be potty trained. Bigger dogs also have bigger badders and subsequently can hold it for longer.

    Dachshunds (especially minis) from my experience and speaking with other dachshund owners are the most difficult to train for urination. My theory--there is a long way from the bladder to the brain.

    My siberian husky, as a puppy, was literally potty trained over night. I just kept taking him outside in hour intervals and he never had an accident. He would come get me and then wait by the door when he needed to go out.
