- Mifugo kazi bora (11-26) : Wanaelewa amri mpya katika marudio 5 na 15, huwa wanatii 80% ya nyakati.
- Mifugo ya kazi ya juu-wastani (27-39) : kuelewa maagizo mapya kati ya marudio 15 na 25. Kwa kawaida hujibu katika 70% ya visa.
- Akili ya wastani katika kazi na utii (40-54): mbwa hawa wanahitaji marudio kati ya 40 na 80 ili kuelewa amri. Wanajibu 30% ya wakati.
- Akili ndogo katika kazi na utii (55-79): wanajifunza amri mpya kati ya marudio 80 na 100. Hawatii kila wakati, katika 25% tu ya kesi.
