The breed of dog we own or the one we prefer says a lot about our personality. What the canines we love so much reveal.
“Like master, like dog.” According to this famous adage, the dog you adopt would resemble its owner, starting with certain physical details. Who has never compared the haircut of a woman or a man to the surprisingly similar coat of their canine? But these similarities are also found through the character of the person. Indeed, what few people know is that the choice we make regarding the type of dog we own, or the one we prefer, says a lot about our personality. For Bill Lambert, spokesperson for the Kennel Club (an organization dedicated to the welfare of dogs in the United Kingdom), “It’s quite striking how many people unconsciously select dog breeds whose personality matches their own character.”.
The specialist analyzes for example the character traits of Jack Russell owners who are for the most part helpful, friendly, attentive and loyal, but also trustworthy. According to him, those who own a Cocker Spaniel are curious, creative and the family plays an essential place in their lives.
If you come across someone with an English Springer, there is a good chance that they are reserved and particularly punctual. “Border Terrier owners are considered the most charming, lively and exuberant” he adds. The most affectionate and tender people should also be attracted to another breed of dog: the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, while conscientious, organized, loyal and faithful people will appreciate the Miniature Schnauzer.
Other dog breeds are mentioned such as the Golden Retriever: its owners have the advantage of being emotionally stable, happy and see life on the bright side. If you like small dogs with soft, cuddly fur like the Pomeranian for example, those around you probably perceive you as someone who is pleasant and extroverted at the same time. And you, what is your favorite breed of dog?
