Me, I think I'd be a Saint Bernard. They're helpful, calm, big, and, uh, have that religion thing going.
What breed best describes you?
Or, are you a dreaded cat?

Probably a collie.
Being dependable and loyal have always been mentioned as my strong traits. And I had a tendency to bark too much often. And I'm very people-centered.
Posted by Jim-Me (Member # 6426) on :
Cocker Spaniel-- clumsy, goofy, enthusiastic, utterly lacking common sense, loveable, and annoying.

Greyhound (except for the skinny belly). Excited for five minutes then goes and takes a nap.
Posted by Sharpie (Member # 482) on :
Definitely a basenji here. Rebellious, silent, and very carnivorous.

sure are a lot of greyhounds out there...

Great Dane- Large and sometimes gawky, tough on the outside, sweet on the inside. Tante, I eat cats for breakfast.

Cats Rule. Just you scratch my ears and I'll show you a Meow! Oh, just for reference. I've never met a dog that didn't want to bite me.

I think a Terrier. But everytime this question is asked people answer with the breeds they grew up with or have chosen.

I definitely have answered with a breed I have chosen. But that's not terribly surprising, is it? I still think that I share a lot of traits with my dorky little dog. Posted by LargeTuna (Member # 10512) on :
I'd be a labra-doodle that doodles and eats oodles of noodles nad hangs with poodles.
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
I'm not sure if it's better to have a dog breed with the same charecteristics as you, or opposites to balance you out. I'm not sure i want to know.
Posted by FlyingCow (Member # 2150) on :
I would definitely be a cat. Likely a shorthair tom with grey fur, black stripes and a white chest.
Posted by TL (Member # 8124) on :
I read recently about Tibetan Mastiffs. Usually I don't go for dogs, but in this case, I had to say to myself, gee, these dogs are a lot like me, in dog-form. I intend to get one (or two) at some point in the future.

Every other Saint Bernard I've ever walked past has wanted to. Go ahead!

i'd be Mike Vick's dog, i'd win all the fights, oh yea Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :
Irish water spaniel. Slightly wierd and goofy, with a sense of humor. Likes the water.
Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :
*sigh* Spitz.
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
When I've taken online quizzes with this topic, I've always turned out to be a German Shepard. Tough, stocky, stubborn, loyal, officious, and rule-oriented.

You need to meet my dog. She's the nicest dog you will ever meet.
As for my breed, I honestly have no idea. I love labradors, but I know for a fact that I'm not a labrador. Claudia, I would love to see that quiz.

Posted by anti_maven (Member # 9789) on :
Probably a labrador, full of beans and enthusiasm but when it comes to doing something useful it's asleep on the hearth...
Or a cat. Sleeping, eating, sleeping, eating, having a nap, a bit of a snack, freaking out like a loon for twenty minutes, and then back to sleep...
Posted by JonHecht (Member # 9712) on :
I took another test and got Greyhound.
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
The quiz puts me as a German Shepard-Saint Bernard mix.
I'm a mutt!

Oh, fabulous. I'm the dumb blonde of the dog world.
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
28%Lhasa Apso, 28% Cocker Spaniel, 14% St Bernard, 14% German Shepherd, 14% Jack Russell. NO
Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :
I scored highest on Jack Russell. The problem with that test is that there are only those five breeds to choose from, so I wouldn't worry too much about it Katie. I think you'd be something more like an Irish or Gordon setter myself.

Posted by theCrowsWife (Member # 8302) on :
Erm. I thought show-bred Irish Setters were dumb and pretty, too. Has that changed?

Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :
I got mostly St. Bernard on that test, and it mostly fits, I guess.
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
Crowswife, the setters I have known have been a bit easily distracted and liked to go off on tangents (like walking around the four mile block because she didn't know how to turn around at the end of the driveway) but more self and socially aware than cockers. The gordon's I've known were awesome and Katie like.

Um, yay?
Gordon Setters: The Derek Zoolander of the Dog World
Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :
Unlike Cockers, who IMO are just plain dumb in general, I think Irish setters (for the most part)are intelligent and like to pick and choose what they wish to be enthusiastic about. They will get deeply involved in something that interests them sometimes to the exclusion of everything else, but if it doesn't, eh, they won't bother. I don't know all of the personality quirks of either the Irish or Gordon setters, but they were the images that came to my mind when I tried to focus on Katie and a dog breed together.
AJ
I think breyerchic is a slightly offbeat herding breed. I've been debating between the Briard or the Polish Lowland Sheepdog. (although the swedish vallhund has possiblities too)
Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :
where'd you get that thing about zoolander Katie?
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
Derek Zoolander can't turn left, so he'll walk around the block/room or spin 270 degrees to avoid it.
I think it's funny. And your description of a setter does sound awfully familiar.
Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :
Oh, fabulous. I'm the dumb blonde of the dog world.
Me too O_o 42.9%.
But you know, I didn't like coming back as Katharine Hepburn either. I don't dislike Cocker Spaniels, but my initial replies would have been Beagle or Labrador retriever.
Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :
Breyerchic is a Beardie... I think that was the breed my brain was trying to come up with all along... *grin*
AJ
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
Beardie! I did once desperately want a Swedish Vallhund, I've never seen one in person.
I am more than willing to admit the Irish I knew was weird, but she was awesome and smart. She was not quite a show dog and was used for (I believe) akc gundog trials.
Posted by MEC (Member # 2968) on :
I took a test and it said I was a Leonberger, I had to look it up.
I guess this would be why (why I had to look it up, not why I'm one):
"Leonbergers were seriously affected by the privations of the two world wars. During World War I most Leonbergers were left to fend for themselves as breeders fled or were killed. Only five Leonbergers survived World War I and were bred until World War II when, again, almost all Leonbergers were lost. All Leonbergers today trace their ancestry back to eight dogs that survived World War II."
-From wikipedia.
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
There are at least ten Leonbergers in my town and I've seen them with three different people. So yeah they're rare, but not quite as rare as that makes it sound.
