our Austrialian Cattle dog is like that.

He seems to know everything we are saying, Bed, walk, treat, ball, go to xxx person. Even as a puppy he would knock on the door to go out etc.

Insanely protective though which i guess isnt a bad thing.

I understand that the type of dog can pre determine intelligence

But even with this.... you just never know if they are really smart. Correct?

some dogs are if not smarter than others, at least quicker to learn / pick up things and think on their own.

Like herding dogs have a task on the farm and htey do it with little to no human direction.
