The dog died several years back from cancer but she was truly the best dog we've ever had. She was so smart she'd pick up and differentiate both words and sentences like "do you want to go for a ride (car) vs. do you want to go for a walk. She knew that if I turned one way at an intersection we were going to the vet. She would freak out at thunderstorms but somehow knew they were coming before the clouds even came in, let alone the rain. My question is this: Is this type of intelligence a characteristic of the breed or did we just have an exceptional dog.

I'm aware of how it describes WMDs but I just don't understand how it applies to families.
