Take the breed matchup quiz!

**Twisterdog** · 01-27-2008, 11:19 PM

Hmmmmm ....

1. French Bulldog - which I DO actually think are adorable and wouldn't mind owning someday

2. Bichon Frise - which I do not understand at all, since I said I didn't want to give haircuts. LOL I can't honestly see myself ever owning a "furry" dog, I groom MORE than enough of other people's dog all day.

3. Coton de Tulear - ditto the Bichon comment

4. Papillion - ditto the French Bulldog comment, I think Papillions are cuties

5. Pug - I would never own a pug. Just not my style

The breeds I currently own were listed:

25. Fox Terrier

29. Jack Russell Terrier

And the breeds I would consider owning in the future were listed:

19. Italian Greyhound

35. Whippet

68. Bull Terrier

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.

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.

I re-took it, because I was so bothered! haha. These are seriously my results (and note, that I said I prefer medium dogs):

1. Poodle
2. Labrador Retriever (surprise!)
3. Harrier (WTH? I have never even seen a Harrier in person. I thought they were pack/hunting dogs?)
4. Vizsla
5. Doberman Pinscher
6. Goldendoodle
7. Goldador
8. Labradoodle
9. Golden Retriever
10. Puggle

I... just... don't know. How does Puggle even FIT into that list, not that any "DD" does, but come on? I am also wary of the question: "Are you willing to teach your dog to walk off leash?". Um, well, I would teach my dog off-leash Obedience, yes... but would I take a dog on a walk around the neighborhood sans leash? Hell to the no.

bckrazy I too wondered what significance the leash question even had on determing your "breed compatibility". Why does it matter?

**anna_66** · 01-28-2008, 07:14 AM

My top 5 recommended

Basset Hound
Bullmastiff
Bernese Mountain Dog
Great Pyrenees
Great Swiss Mountain Dog

Chow comes up at #9 on my list, Mastiff #23 and Husky isn't even on it

I never thought about owning a Basset Hound although they are cute. I wouldn't mind owning any of my top 5, I like them all...quite a lot actually!

**Crikit** · 01-28-2008, 07:40 AM

My top five were:

Greyhound (would consider owning one at some point in time)
Ibizan hound (it was a toss up between and ibizan and a pharoah when I got Kizmit)
Rhodesian Ridgeback (not really a breed I'm interested in.)
GSP (nope don't want one of those. I know to many that have wierd little quriks that I wouldn't want to live with)
Great Dane (although I like looking at them I wouldn't want to live with one)

I looked at some of the dogs that weren't suggested for me and the only reason Papillion and IG weren't suggested was because I put that I would want a jogging companion...since when can't toy breeds jog a little?
