What are some medium size dog breeds that are known to be easy to train?

I know dogs differ from dog to dog but are there any breeds to have been known to be easy to train?

1. English Springer Spaniel is one.
2. Labs Border Collies Golden Retrievers Australian Shepards Standard Poodle German Shepards Like you said, it does differ from dog to dog. I've met smart chihuahuas and unintelligent labs, so it really depends.
3. I have heard that Wheaten Terriers are smart and gentle, and they are less likely to bother someone with allergies because they don't shed (which will keep your house nice and clean!).
4. mixed breeds are typically smarter, this is because there is a much much lower chance of inbreeding that you get with purebreds. Which makes the mutts easier to train.
5. Stars by my favorites Beagles* King Charles Spaniel* Cocker Spaniel American Eskimo Bassenji Corgi* Miniature Bull Terrier Shetland Sheepdog* Westie* Whippet* Wire Fox Terrier Australian Shepherd* Bulldog* Collie*
6. That depends on what you are training them to do and how good a trainer YOU are. Other things to consider are shedding/grooming, energy level, is this your first dog?
7. In general the top 5 intelligent breeds. For example the BC. However It depends on the owner. As they have to keep the dog engaged and interested in the trainng.
8. i am not a dog lover, but I have noticed one thing: Jack Russel Terriers are NOT mentioned. ( brilliant dogs but stubborn and very high energy) I was gonna say Westies and Yorkies. Chihuahua ?? Poodles, but they're nervous dogs ( I had one as a kid.) Mutts are very intelligent as u have the best of many breeds and virtually NO inbreeding. Yay !
9. Springer Spaniels, Labradors and Retrievers are well known for their easiness to train. I really hope i helped!
