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. Posts: 628 | Registered: Nov 1999

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.

I would definitely be a cat. Likely a shorthair tom with grey fur, black stripes and a white chest.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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."

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.
