You're pretty well balanced! You are fun-loving and like to be outside! You are social, and people really love you. (So do your dogs) LOTS of different breeds will work for you, since your such a well rounded person. Here's what breeds to look at: Jack Russels, poodles, doodles, lab mixes, pit mixes, and even small dogs that are energetic-- like Pappilons, Boston Terriers, Yorkies or Border Terriers. You have the spirit and soul to RESCUE a dog! Look for mixes like lab, pit, or shepherd-mixes! Beware of a dog that's TOO energentic for you (like a border collie)-- they MAY push you over the edge!! Other breeds to probably avoid: cattle dogs, huskies, German Shepherds, Aussies.“A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.”– Josh BillingsHello, friend!

You're just like a border collie!

Congrats! You are robust and exciting, and have LOTS of energy. You're one of the few that can handle breeds like:Border collies, Australian Shepherds, Cattle Dogs, Huskies, and German Shepherds. Your athletic nature and love of the outdoors even make you a candidate for some hunting breeds, like Beagles, setters, Weimaraners, vizlas and hounds! Evan a greyhound may be good for you! Beware of the Belgian Malanois--even though you may be drawn to the UBER hyper guard dog-type, they still may be "too much dog" for you. “Once you have had a wonderful dog, a life without one, is a life diminished.” – Dean KoontzHello, friend!

Bernese Mountain Dogs, Great Pyrenees, Newfoundlands, Golden retrievers, labs and lap dogs.

You need a dog that can take care of himself, and that does not need extravagant levels of entertainment hour upon hour! You love a good snuggle, too!! The GIANT breeds are perfect for you-- these breeds can walk with you, but don't require hours of entertainment and exercise. How perfect is that? They love to snuggle, but don't require SO much of your energy. Look at:Great Pyrenees, Newfoundland dog, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Bernese Mountain Dogs, and even the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, and St. Bernard.You LOVE to stay in bed on a rainy Sunday.... so lap dogs are also perfect for you! Look at King Charles Spaniels, Pugs, Bichons, Bolognese (not the pasta, the DOG!), Havanese, Tibetan Spaniel, Japanese Chins and Brussels Griffons. Maybe stay away from Border Collies, Aussies, and Husky breeds!!!! You could be VERY sorry... you'll fall in love, but won't be able to fulfill their lifestyle needs! “Scratch a dog and you’ll find a permanent job.” – Franklin JonesHello, friend!
