What do you think personifies the word Dog. Do you think of the German Shepard? Yorkshire Terrier? Something that looks like the wolf or dingo? Personally I usually think of something that resembles the border collie.
Mutts come to mind first.
Scottish terriers.
I think in general I think of labs/retrievers. But this particular time, I thought of a pug. No clue why.
First one I thought of was German Shepard.
Kelpies
My big standard poodle now personifies dogness to me. He is the archetype of dog.
Irish Setter (that’s the kind I had growing up)
Golden retriever.
I think it’s weird because I had a minpin for 10 years since she was a pup and till the day she died, but when the word dog is mentioned I don’t think of minpin as the first breed to come to mind. I always thought of dogs to be big, somewhat furry and with a muzzle not the short nosed breeds.
we have such a diverse set of breeds being mentioned too. Some I don’t even know what they look like. Perhaps I should’ve mentioned to link the picture to the breed.
Golden Retriever.
Golden Lab.
Keeshond. But that’s because we have one.
Dachshund: same reason as Shinna Minna Ma.
Otherwise, a mutt that somewhat resembles a Lab with brown fur.
I think of a Lab because that’s the kind of dog I have now. When I had golden retrievers, that would have been the first breed to spring to mind.
I think Mutt.
“The word Dog. First Breed to come to mind.”
Puppies
Irish setter.
My next-door neighbor had many of them while I was growing up.
Mutt. Happy, wagging, bouncing mutt.
Spaniel, cos we had them growing up, probably.
