Take the breed matchup quiz!

[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.

[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.

Plus, Goldendoodle, Labradoodle, Goldador, Maltipoo, etc were on the "breed" list.

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.

Scottish Deerhound

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.

[bckrazy]

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.

[Crazy-Cat-Lover]

My results are...

Irish Wolfhound
Ibizan Hound
Bernese Mountain Dog
Great Dane
Bullmastiff

I love all the above breeds, especially Danes and Irish Wolfhounds.
