Herding dogs tend to be very smart. The different belgians, the different shepards, corgis etc.
Working dogs range from smart to thick as a brick. Goldens and Labs while two of the sweetest breeds tend to be extremely dumb for everything, but as PJ says, retrieving.
Terriers can be smart, but they are aptly named. Generally not a good idea to have them around kids. They normally have tough personalities.
