How smart is a Pug?

Pugs demonstrate average intelligence when compared to other breeds, with an estimated IQ ranking in the mid-50s out of 100. They excel in memory (4/5), often remembering commands and routines, but score lower in obedience (2/5) and problem-solving (2/5). Their social intelligence (1/5) is also on the lower end, suggesting they may be less attuned to complex social cues.
