Which dog are you?

You know how owners are sometimes said to look like their dogs ?
Well of course I look like my sleek, svelte greyhound (as if) but if I were a dog, I think I would be a slightly rotund Labrador, enjoying my food, and reluctant to give up my place by the fire.
Which breed of dog would you be?
I have my own ideas about some of you grin which I may share later. . . . .

Greyhounds can eat as much as they like and don't get fat! How good is that!

I can think of a couple of possible other Staffies-look fierce, but dead soft on the inside, bark worse than their bite? Anyone own up?

No, Alea a lovely white English bull terrier, like our long lamented one and our grand dog. We think they are beautiful. They do become a bit of an obsession and when we see them out and about we always stop and chat to them.

I'm like my (not absolutely typical) English Springer Spaniel. I have to be persuaded to go out but once I'm out, I enjoy a walk in most weathers. If I have nothing to do, I do nothing extremely well! I am affectionate with people I know well but a little wary of getting too close to anyone else. I have a tendency to be mad as a matter but hide it better than my dog does!

Must add, he's extremely cute....blush

According to Grandchildren I look and behave like my Cairn Terrier Molly!!! .She has rough curly coat and brown eyes, and is always up for a walk, and is very stubborn,- but very affectionate to those she loves. I have a mop of Curly wild frizzy hair, like to be outdoors, love my family to bits, and I'm well aware I can be very stubborn- no one can talk me into anything I dont want to do. Not very good with people I dont know well. (Sad I know).

A Mutt - a renegade, an artist, one who won't be confined to a box. So says buzz feed, the quiz I did to ask what kind of dog am I.

I've had some lovely mutts over the years and currently have a gang of first cross mixed breeds - deliberate mixed breeds. I don't think any of them have personality disorders, despite descending from pedigrees. One of them is a tad highly strung (pedigree red cocker spaniel for a mother) but he is defo not personality disordered, just a bit special.

Great question Alea. I rather wanted to be an Afghan Hound, loping along, hair flying, slim, athletic and beautiful. Ah well, mutt it is.

My cocker spaniel is blonde, good natured, lively and very beautiful with huge expressive liquid brown eyes? I am not like her at all. I think I'd be a wire haired terrier. A bit yappy but loving and nosy.
