What type of dog do you have?

[NicoleLJ]

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]

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]

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.....

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.

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! )

Finn's the All American Huckleberry Finn. He's always up for an adventure, even if it's mischievous (especially so sometimes).

Freckles is the too-smart-for-her-own-good, hyper sensitive one.

Dudley is a lover AND a fighter, depending on who he's dealing with and what he's dealing with.

[k9krazee]

Mini - Worry Wart - She's extremely concerned about her family at all times. Extremly clingy and loves to please. Alll around good natured, easy going and serious for the most part. If you're mowing the lawn, she's right behind you. If you take her to the dog park, she's right behind you. If you're swimming at the lake, she's crying at the dock. If you're swimming in the pool, she's not too far away making sure everyone's okay. She gets nervous easily. She loves fish. Fish in fish tanks, in lakes, anything. They're her favorite, just like my dad, she adores him.

Kyra - The Spaz - She is something else. Loves to play ball and run around like a maniac. She's super smart and thinks allllll the time. She knows where every single toy of hers is at all times. She doesn't like strangers or other dogs. She doesn't like to come when she's called 3/4 of the time. She thinks she's 300lbs. The only dog I've met who masterbates constantly. She loves her Mini, and adored Shadow. She's 100% my mom's dog. She hates obeying orders. She never eats, gets cold too easily, likes to stick her little tongue up your nose and scream like there's no tomorrow. She's just a weird, weird, dog in general.

Micki - The Scrooge - He can be EXTREMELY cuddly when he wants to be. He often greets with nibbles to the ears and nose. He also is a growler. He'll growl at the vacuum, he'll growl if he's on the couch, he'll growl if you move in bed (he sleeps with brother Adam and he claims that Micki gets 3/4 of his full sized bed), he'll growl if you say hello to a kitty, but he's all talk. He also loves to bark and bark and bark. He'll bark when he's in the car at big trucks driving by, he'll bark to say hello if you're not paying attention, he'll bark when he wants his dinner, he'll bark to hear himself. The only downside really is that he has so many health problems, allergies, chronic lameness and ear problems. He loves to please though and loves to learn. And chasing/killing critters is his most favorite thing in the whole world. Besides riding on the Motorcycle or Quad.

Jack - The Challenge - He's dominant, pushy, talks back, can be extremely stubborn, won't talk to me in public, and thinks the world revolves around his pretty face. But is the love of my life. Sometimes I think he loves me as much as I love him. Like today, I got my Wisdom teeth out and he's been playing doctor all day. He won't leave me alone, won't even leave to go outside. He's MY dog. He's loveable, cuddable and likes to make me happy. He gets angry when I leave him (usually destroys my room or pees on my bed). He's a pest (will only play with toys other dogs have), and is Mini's bestest friend, she keeps him in line. He's a food-aholic who lives for food. He'll do things only because I want him to, like play fetch or go swimming. He loves to learn and loves agility. He has the most annoying bark in the world, and I think he continues to do it because everybody laughs when they hear it.
