When I was in the second grade my parents bought me a party colored (black and white) toy poodle. I named her Boo and she was my best friend and the smartest dog I've ever had the pleasure to own.
At eight years old I was by no means a dog training expert of any sort. Through daily playing with my poodle Boo, she learned so many tricks and knew countless commands.
I'd ask her if she wants to go for a "bike" and she would climb inside my back-pack and off we'd ride down the street.
Because I was in track she would be my racing opponent for practice. I'd say "on your marks (she'd run in a circle and stop), get set (another circle then stops), go!" and we'd both race for the house.
I'd also play hide and seek with her. Sometimes I'd hide and peek from my hiding place and watch her searching in all the place I might be.
Other times I'd hide her, tell her to stay, and then tell my friends to find my dog.
She was a great sport and is hands down one of the smartest breeds I have ever come across.

Summary: Intelligent breed with a strong will to please and have fun while doing it.
