What Does Your Dog Breed Say About You?

By Nicole Pajer

From a Chihuahua to a Great Dane, dogs come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and display an array of temperaments. Studies suggest that the type of dog breed that you choose can tell a lot about your personality. The following are a few generalizations about what owning a certain breed says about your personality. How similar to your dog breed do you think you are?

For mines:

Pit Bulls

Pit bulls have a strong desire to please and will do anything for their family or friends. Pit bull owners are courageous, full of vitality, and are constantly looking out for those they love. They enjoy being around children and make excellent parents and grandparents. There is no better babysitter than a pit bull.


Mehh.. lol.


It doesn't mention all of the different breeds, but mainly the popular, well known ones. Check it out! http://www.cesarsway.com/dogbehavior/basics/What-Does-Your-Dog-Breed-Say-About-You

It's interesting, and you don't have to have one to read the article, it can be a favorite type of dog you've always wanted/loved as well.

Also, another one to check out: http://www.cesarsway.com/dogbehavior/basics/What-Your-Dog-Says-About-You

It talks more about your personality traits depending on whether you have mutts or purebreds, large or small etc.

Both of the above articles are by Nicole Pajer

A longer more in-depth read about the differences of dog and cat people. http://articles.cnn.com/2010-01-13/health/cat.dog.personality_1_cat-peo ple-dog-neuroticism?_s=PM:HEALTH

quote:
It turns out that the "dog people" -- based on how people identified themselves, not on what animals they actually own -- tend to be more social and outgoing, whereas "cat people" tend to be more neurotic but "open," which means creative, philosophical, or nontraditional in this context.


And...... I'm done. Off to bed. Happy reading.

Dachshunds

Dachshunds are stubborn and brave, often acting as if invincible. When owners of dachshunds want something, they don’t give up until they get it. Dachshund owners love gardening and just like the dogs, digging up things. They can sometimes be bossy and often dislike not getting their own way.

Weenie dogs!

Interesting articles!

mine's pretty true

Owners of these breeds are sincere, fun loving, and loyal. Toy breed owners are said to love traveling since the small dogs make excellent travel partners and can be easily put into a carrier. Owners of these dogs take pride in their appearance, are very neat and keep very orderly homes. They are very versatile and can enjoy evenings in with a bottle of wine or a night out partying on the town.

Except for things being neat and orderly. I like it that way, but it's usually disorganized here because what i do is messy.

Here's a 10 question quiz you can take to find out what Dog Breed You Are:


Turns out I'm a Bulldog:

Bulldog

The Comedian

You may look like the troublemaker of the pack, but it turns out your tough guy mug is worse than its bite. You're really a softie, loyal to your friends and family and A-OK with meeting new pooches, but you prefer to do so with a high-five instead of a paw-shake. Proud of your great sense of humor, you've got a whole litter of jokes you draw from to keep the mood playful and the positive energy alive. A perfect afternoon for you involves a leisurely stroll with a pal, followed by a little downtime in an easy chair with a frosty can of brew and a remote control within easy fetching distance. You shed accusations of being lazy, knowing perfectly well that you're kenneling the energy you might need for... well... something. Learn more »

FAMOUS BULLDOGS: Ellen DeGeneres, Whoopi Goldberg, Jack Black, George W. Bush

LIKELY PROFESSIONS: Comedian, Firefighter, Racecar Driver, Bartender

good-natured, and make wonderful family pets. Owners of these breeds put their families first and said to be easy going and carefree. Labs and goldens are known for having an active lifestyle and loving the outdoors. People who own these breeds are social butterflies who are honest and lovable.

ROFL, imagine this

Labrador Retriever

The Caretaker

Your family is what makes you tick, and you never "flea" from an opportunity to hang out with the whole gang. A family picnic complete with hot dogs, deviled eggs and a refreshing swim in the lake is hard for you to stray from. Your sparky temperament and dogged intelligence mean you are not only a blast to hang out with, but great to work with as well. Your close pals appreciate your patience and forgiveness, knowing you'd rather let sleeping dogs lie than dwell on the mishaps of the past. Your dashing good looks may one day lead to a modelling career, if only you can tame the unfortunate clumsiness that sometimes causes you to go flailing from the catwalk


Hear that Thunderbird and Phoenix??
