That's tough, because there are different types of intelligence in different breeds of dogs. Yes, russells are very intelligent. Working with the dog to help bring out some of that intelligence is a good thing, they will develop mentally and learn to do some independent thinking of the things you yourself teach him. Hope this helps, good luck.

This is a some what subjective area of study, given that there are different kinds of intelligence... Some breeds have highly intelligence but in very specialized ways... But in terms of well rounded, general intelligent or "brightness the list is as follows:
Rank / Breed
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
...But Jack Russels are highly intelligent as well. There's a book called "The Intelligence of Dogs", by S. Coren, that you might find interesting.

With the right kind of training any healthy dog has the prospect of being intelligent go and get a book from your local library to help bring this out in him
