Yes! I believe it was done in a survey of trainers, but they set up criteria and ranked all, or many, of the breeds. The criteria for the top 10: "Understanding of New Commands in Less than 5 repetitions. Obey First command 95 percent of the time or better)
1. Border Collie
2. Poodle.
3. German Shepherd
4. Golden Retriever
5. Doberman Pinscher
6. Shetland Sheepdog
7. Labrador Retriever
8. Papillon
9. Rottweiler
10. Australian Cattle Dog
Yorkies tied for 27th with Chesapeake Bay Retrievers and Pulis.
