What type of dog do you have?

**NicoleLJ** · 05-14-2008, 12:05 PM

I don't mean breed, I mean personality. For example as most of you know I have 3. This is how I would class them.

Sheena: She is the serious one. She takes her job seriously, she takes being where ever I am seriously, she takes watching over the boys and making sure they don't play too rough seriously(she will stop their play if she thinks it is too rough) She even takes her play time seriously like flyball and agility. For Sheena every thing is serious.

Ajax: I would class as a clown with a spark of seriousness. But he is still a pup. When he is training he is serious. When he is not training he is all clown. He will do anything he can to make you laugh. If he was a person I would say his job would have been a comedian.

Luca: He is a clown when off duty, meaning when we are home. He then loves everyone and will play and love up to anyone. But when he is on duty, meaning when we are not home or I am home alone he is very serious about his job of protecting the house and me. He alerts me to every sound and makes sure no one comes in when we are not here. We had problems with that twice before we got him. He is an awsome dog.

So how would you class your dogs personality?

Buddy is a velcro guard dog and Sierra is a drama queen.

So far...Sunny is a bold scardy cat (pup)

**Ginger's Mom** · 05-14-2008, 12:25 PM

Ginger is a very timid dog who loves being outside. She enjoys going to the park and dog park, but doesn't like being the center of attention or being touched by the strangers. As a matter of fact, when she visits a new place or is around a lot of unknown people she drools excessively out of fear. The only thing that will calm her down is a good game of ball.

I told you I think Sunny will grow up to be like Ginger

...Is it a white dog thing? My Stryker (white husky mix) was shy too. hehe

**Louie and me** · 05-14-2008, 12:36 PM

Louie is a "creature of habit". He likes to have a set routine and if you forget what that routine is he will remind you in no uncertain terms.
5am - outside to relieve himself;
6:30am out again for a walk and a dump;
6:45am food;
12 - lunch;
4pm - outside to relieve himself;
5:30pm food;
6:30pm a walk round the block;
7-8pm playtime;
9pm one more trip outside and done for the night.
I kid you not - you could set your clock's by him. When there is a time change - adjust this routine by one hour.....

Rocky - he is the laid back, obdient one. He loves to greet you at the door with a shoe, a piece of paper, anything when you get home!

It's so cute. He enjoys going walking and we have took him camping onto trips before since he loves it, plus he is almost 12 years old. he's went with us to lakes, camping, and to family reunions. he acts like a puppy running in the water and the field.

he's very submissive! he never makes a peep unless he feels he has to (when strangers are out and about stuff like that)

Jenny - she's mostly laid back, but the most stubborn, yet sweethearted dog you will ever meet.

She also loves going for walks, we have only taken her to the lake a couple of times she just turned 10. the reason why we have only taken her a couple times is because she has a tendency to run away and be a brat.

the last time we took her to the lake she got a fish hook stuck in her mouth and we had to take her to the emergency vet. she was fine but all she wanted was that piece of fish, not the hook in her mouth. She is so overly friendly! She wouldn't hurt a fly, she's very protective of us though.

Ginger is the kind of tempermental one. She is so prissy it's so funny! She loves digging in the kiddie pool in the summer when the hose is in it and she will stay outside all day and "bite" the water that comes out of the hose if you let her. it's so cute.

She's a sweetie, when she wants to be. she isn't big on other dogs but loves our cat, Tiger.

Buster is the silly, goofy big browned eyed boy. He is very sweet, but only if he knows you. He's not very fond of strangers, or my brother who has been here countless times. He just doesn't like him for some reason! He is VERY protective, he doesn't like kids, but he LOVES us. He loves to go for walks, car rides (they all do!), and he loves to sun his butt on the couch in the living room. You would swear it was a job he looks so comfortable!

Rudy is the most annoying to another animals one. He will pick on the other dogs and cats and think he's having a ball but they hate it. Miagi is the only one that will play with him.

He is sweet when he wants to be, but he's really fiesty. he's a puppy! I don't really "know" his personality too much since we've only had him for 6 weeks but he is a love bug. (again when he wants to be!

)

I say about my dog that she takes things too seriously and has no sense of humor, lol.

How can they not know how pretty they are, and how much people want to touch them?

Nope. My whites aren't. It is just a personality to each particular dog.

Kaedyn's my serious one. He's always keeping an eye on everyone, making sure nothing gets out of hand. He also guards the house from squirrels and cats.

Kai is very well balanced. He has a great sense of humour and is a goof ball at times, but he also knows when it's time to be serious and work. He's very mellow.

Keeva is a psycho. She never sleeps, and lives for agility.

**FurkidsMom** · 05-14-2008, 01:36 PM

Mickey, my border collie mix, is an excellent watch dog and a bit on the vigilant side. She barks at new people but after a few minutes she's fine w/them especially if they know where to scratch or have treats. With me, she is a cuddlebug and will plop her front paws on my lap when sitting next to me on the couch. She follows me everywhere and if she hasn't seen for a bit, she'll come looking for me. I love her to death!

**Pawsitive Thinking** · 05-14-2008, 02:06 PM

Tobey is the slightly insecure, hyperactive one and Archie is the more laid back but in charge one!

Perfect descriptions of my two, with Ripley being the insecure, hyperactive one and Bella being laid back and the one Ripley looks up to. Ripley is also my velcro dog but that could be in part due to his insecurity. I don't mind one bit though. He may be goofy but I love him anyway.

Angie I am laughing at your description of Sierra as a drama queen!

Oh Pam... she is 100% D-R-A-M-A!!
When I get home from work I get "Howled and Wooed" at for 15 minutes, I'm pretty sure she's not telling me how happy she is that I'm home from work. I'm sure she's telling me off for being gone!
If she is playing with Buddy and he's getting too rough, she'll yelp and jump up holding a paw up and walk to me for sympathy (with no limp) and holds her paw up again, and sometimes she forget's and hold up the wrong paw.
