Is a Scottish Deerhound Intelligence: easy to train?

Scottish Deerhounds are moderately intelligent, ranking #70 out of 138 breeds in canine intelligence. While their Memory (4/5) and Social Intelligence (5/5) are strong, their Obedience (3/5) and Problem Solving (3/5) scores suggest they are not among the easiest breeds to train. They require patience and consistent, positive reinforcement methods due to their independent nature.
