Take the breed matchup quiz!

[k9krazee]

My number one was the Wheaton terrier. Funny thing is, I've been considering getting one in a few years. Jack Russells and Rottweilers were on the not recommended list. Oh well.

[Sparklecoon]

1.) Lab
2.) Greater Swiss Mountain Dog
3.) Flat-Coated Retriever
4.) Scottish Deerhound
5.) Golden Retriever

Not too bad. I have an Irish Wolfhound (which was poor because I only wanted an ocassional jogging buddy) which is slightly close to the deerhound. I grew up with Goldens and have had lab mixes. I've always loved GSMD.

More interestingly they said Cockers were not recommended because I wanted a large dog and I wanted the ocassional jogging companion. Hmm I guess the two I have will need to find a new home. JK!

[kittycats_delight]

Rottweiler
Bullmastiff
Akita
Boxer
American Pit Bull Terrier

not recommended

Affenpinscher
Alaskan Malamute
Australian Terrier
Bichon Frise
Chihuahua

[3GSDMom]

1. Airedale Terrier
2. Australian Cattle Dog
3. Black and Tan Coonhound
4. Weimaraner
5. Dalmatian

huh, guess I chose the wrong breed. Better go trade Travis in.

Out of those five, the only one I'd consider owning is a Weim. I think I'll stick to my GSDs though

I just took this test for fun because I don't see myself adopting a dog any time soon. Here are my top 5:
1. Shih Tzu
2. Lhasa Apso
3. Norfolk Terrier
4. Basset Hound
5. Boston Terrier
One question they forgot ask was if I already had other pets. I currently have 6 cats.

[Scooter's Mom]

1. Brussels Griffon
2. Shih Tzu (Good thing, since I have 2!)
3. Norfolk Terrier
4. Dachshund
5. Boston Terrier

[Danegirl2208]

1. Labrador Retriever
2. Harrier
3. Doberman Pinscher
4. Vizsla
5. Manchester Terrier

Only dog I would own from that list is the Doberman Pinscher (which is one of my favorite breeds), really have no interest in the others.. It was fun to take anyways

[bckrazy]

1. Harrier
2. Labrador Retriever
3. English Springer Spaniel
4. Golden Retriever
5. Beagle

Wow... WTH? D: 2 of these breeds are both my LEAST favorite of all time. Plus, Goldendoodle, Labradoodle, Goldador, Maltipoo, etc were on the "breed" list. And it says I am unsuited for a Corgi. I am not a fan of this test.

I was JUST going to post that!

I find it a little ridiculous that they recommended a "Peekapoo" to me, but Pekingese were on the Not Recommended list. Anywho, I got Black and Tan Coonhound as my first. Then, Briard, GWP, Lab, GSP. Weird.

I think what's wrong with almost all of these breed matchups is that they're very one-sided and rather slanted. But, what can ya do? That's about as far as a survey or quiz can really get.

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Mine was pretty accurate, but not totally:

1. Flat-Coated Retriever (nice dogs, but not quite my breed)
2. Border Collie (I'd love to have one someday)
3. Doberman (good choice... can see myself having a couple more)
4. Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever (will definitely have plenty more!)
5. Airedale Terrier (no thanks... definitely not for me at all)

Overall I don't think any of the breed matching tests I've taken were ever 100% accurate, and I've definitely seen better ones than this.

edit: after those ones I had a lot of mutts listed too... I didn't like that at all.

[cali]

lol I also had a lot of mutts on my list, I have labradoodle, and yorkiepoo and Cockapoo...

[luvofallhorses]

I would never have guessed these breeds

Scottish Deerhound
Greyhound
Greater swiss mountain dog
borzoi
afghan hound.

HAHA! Did you say you liked a dog that wouldn't need constant training and not-very-high intelligence?

Just kidding. I love my sighthounds!!

[IRescue452]

Golden Retriever
Labrador Retriever
Irish Setter
Visla
Flat-coat Retriever

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww (sorry to those who own these) and those aren't LARGE dogs. If I had my choice between one of these breeds or no dog at all, I'd pick not having a dog. Maybe after a few years dog-free I'd choose the setter or the golden retriever, maybe.

I don't restrict myself to the American Kennel Club breeds either. They had goldendoodles, labradoodles, and cockapoos in the results, why?

I'd like: Bergamasco, Komondor, Otterhound, Spinone, Griffon Fauve

Oh and I am allergic to dogs, but only breeds like german shepherds and huskys really bother me so I put no.

[bckrazy]

If I had my choice between one of these breeds or no dog at all, I'd pick not having a dog.

That is honestly how I feel about my top 5, too. On every other test I've taken... Border Collies and Corgis have always been up there. I don't understand how most of us got unfavorable results? And it seems like this test pushes Golden Retrievers & Labs like no other! I love Goldens and Labs, but they are absolutely not the breeds for me. It looks like MOST of the people who took the test were recommended Goldens and Labs. I find it peculiar.
