Dalmatian IQ score and intelligence ranking

Dalmatians consistently rank in the average intelligence category among dog breeds. While there isn't a universally accepted "IQ score" for dogs, they generally fall around the 70th percentile in terms of working and obedience intelligence, as observed by canine psychologists. This places them in the third tier of intelligence, meaning they typically understand new commands in 25 to 40 repetitions and obey them 50% of the time or better on the first try. Their specific strengths lie in obedience and memory (4/5), with average scores in problem-solving, social intelligence, and adaptability.
