    7. Hounds (Beagles, Bassett Hounds, Greyhounds, and Dachshunds):
    Even if you ain’t nothing but a hound dog, good news: Hound dog owners are emotionally stable.

    Gun dogs (Irish Setters, Golden Retrievers, and Spaniels): You and your pooch are happy watching a movie, taking a walk, and really just doing whatever the day dictates—it doesn’t get more agreeable than gun dog owners.


    I have two goldens and a golden/lab mix.

    Apparently I'm all over the place lol. I have an 8 year old female pitbull and a 6 month old Dogue Du Bordeaux.
    According to the article I am intelligent but emotionally unstable. Who knew???

    My girl is a mix of an Alaskan Malamute (Working Dog) and Treeing Walker Coonhound (Hound) - so apparently, I am agreeable, intelligent and emotionally stable. Hmmm....I know many people who would disagree with that statement!!

    The dog I grew up with (German shepherd) suggests I am a classic extrovert. False. Then again I did not pick her, but I loved her just the same.

    My toy dog apparently suggests I am intelligent and more likely to be creative. I suppose it's true. Though I didn't pick my breed of dog (Chihuahua/Yorkie mix) randomly, we decided we'd get her because she has hypoallergenic fur, hardly sheds (if you brush her properly), has very few health problems that are likely, and has a good temperament, especially with small children.

    What breeds do you have?
    Bishon Frise/Maltese mix, German Shepherd/Black Lab mix (deceased), English Springer Spaniel (deceased), Cocker Spaniel/Skye Terrier mix, Blood Hound, and English Mastiff.

    I clearly don't discriminate when it comes to dog breeds, lol!

    Also, I will point out that Yorkies are listed under toy breeds, but they also fall into the terrier category.

    1. Toy dogs (Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Poodles, and Pugs): Though Chihuahua-toting Hollywood starlets may not be the first group you’d think of as being the sharpest crayons in the box, people who own toy dogs are more likely to be intelligent. They also earn high marks for being creative

    5. Terriers (Jack Russells, Carin Terriers, and Miniature Schnauzers): Now don’t take this the wrong way, but owners of terriers were shown to be—how can we put this delicately—rather low on the emotional stability scale. On the plus side, you’ve got a super-cute companion to help you through any funks.


    I have two pug/chihuahua mixes, a schnauzer/poodle, and a schnauzer mix.

    Doberman I assume would be a Working Dog?!

    6. Working dogs (Boxers, Rottweilers, and Great Danes):
    Anyone with a Great Dane as a roommate would have to be easygoing and clever to make things work without getting claustrophobic. Not surprisingly, working dog owners are agreeable and intelligent.

    Cairn Terrier (Toto dog) Dachshund mix

    Portuguese water dog isn't listed. Hmmm. I'd say we portie-owners are smart - we had to be to learn to spell Portuguese. :)

    I have a "pastoral pooch" and what I guess I would call a working dog (he's a livestock guardian). Certainly not extroverted though.

    2. Pastoral pooches (German Shepherds, Collies, and Corgis): If you share your bed with a border Collie, you’ve likely never met a crowd you weren’t comfortable in, you classic extrovert, you.



    I have one of each

    I've got a toy dog (papillon) and a giant dog (newfie, working dog, see ticker).

    Both say I'm intelligent.
