Chihuahuas are pretty smart, their temper is just too much.

Dogs indeed are more intelligent since they're more adaptable. On basic cognitive tests, which often are designed in retarded manner, dogs and cats are pretty much even. However, social intelligence is very high in dogs, I'd even argue that interspecies social intelligence is the highest among dogs of whole animal kingdom. Dogs have naturally social intelligence of a trained primate. If I recall correctly the theory of mind and self-consciousness is proven in dogs but not among cats.
