Here’s the link to a test. [http://www.emode.com/emode/tests/dog2.jsp](http://www.emode.com/emode/tests/dog2.jsp) (I hope it hasn’t been posted earlier, I searched on it, but couldn’t find it.) I’m a **Golden Retriever**. No bones about it, you’re a popular, fun-loving Golden Retriever. Adored by all and too cool for school, you’re extroverted and enthusiastic. Your magnetic personality makes you the life of any bash. Since you’re a true people-dog, you genuinely love all kinds of social gatherings. Going to parties, dinners, and other shindigs is the best way to add faces to your constantly growing circle of friends. But besides being on the social A-list, you’re a confident, well-rounded pup who’s got it goin’ on inside and out. Pretty accomplished at anything you set your mind to, your sunny nature and winning ways make you one of everyone’s favorite dogs. Woof! ---

I’m a pug, I kinda thought I would be a nondescript tan dog with brown spots, a waggy tail and big floppy ears for some reason 😉 Keith ---

> [@](#): > > No bones about it, you’re the Adonis of all dogs — a Great Dane. Your perfect mix of brains and brawn wins you legions of fans wherever you go. Just snap your fingers and the crowd comes running. Sophisticated and friendly, your laid-back temperament makes you popular and easy to talk to. Classy and smooth, cool and confident, who wouldn’t want a Great Dane at the end of their leash? No one — woof! I kinda figured hehehehe ---

I’m a Pug? One of those baked-potato dogs? No offense to Puglvr, I just thought I’d be a little bigger and friskier. Well, Bullmastiff’s look like oversized Pugs, so I’m going to be a Bullmastiff. Why don’t they have a mutt option? ---

“Big-hearted and great at communication, you’re a Bernese Mountain Dog at heart. Berners are wonderful dogs, with lots of great qualities.” From the Web site, [http://www.berner.org/](http://www.berner.org/), they seem to be a lot like St. Bernards, only with a little more restraint and dignity. I can live with that! ---

> [@](#): > > No bones, about it, you’re a loyal, hard-working German Shepherd. Dedicated and always low-maintenance, people flock to you — they know they can count on you to get any job done, and done well. That focus and attention to detail spans from your personal to your professional life, too. Although you can be a bit anal when it comes to the projects you tackle, you still manage to keep cool and laid-back in social situations. You get a kick out of the little things and thrive when you’re constantly busy and on-the-go. Easygoing and unpretentious, you don’t need constant pampering and reassurance. A genuine, easy-going pup, you’re a true-blue friend, employee, and partner. Woof! Damn. I wanted to be a rabid Chihuahua. I want to be pampered and reassured! Low maintenance? Easygoing and unpretentious?? Bite my sleek-and-elegant on-the-go Shepard ass! Grrrrr! Wait, make that yap yap yap! ---

Somehow this was quite unexpected… “Happy and playful, you’re a Pug at heart. Pugs are great dogs, with all the right stuff.” I kinda figgered myself for a mutt - loyal, cuddly, housebroken, low maintenance… ---

You are a Scottish Terrier. No bones about it, you’re an adventurous Scottish Terrier. Fearless, feisty, and always up for a challenge, you like having things your way. Some people might even label you stubborn or headstrong. But we know you’re just ambitious and motivated. Besides, your can-do attitude serves you well when facing challenges at work or in your personal life. No job is too big, and absolutely no obstacle is going to stand in your way. A loyal, caring friend, you choose your pals very carefully, then stick by them through thick and thin. Woof! Lets hear it again!! **Woof!** ---

Not only am I a **Basset Hound** , but according to a few other tests at that site, **Jenifer Lopez** would be my perfect mate, if I was a super hero I’d have **X-Ray Vision** , my emotional age is listed as **Quite Adult** (yeah, right), I’m an **Ambivert** (whatever the hell that is) and my true color is **Blue**. So I might most commonly be found dragging my big floppy ears down Hollywood and Vine, howling when catching sight of Jenifer Lopez in a blue dress, checking out her goodies with my X-ray vision, but being very sneaking and quite about it. But I’d still respect her in the morning. ---

While I wouldn’t mind being a poodle named Zack, who gets to sleep with **Anniz** every night, I don’t mind being: Fearless, feisty, and an intrepid explorer, you’re a **Scottish Terrier** at heart. Terriers are great dogs, with all the right stuff. ---
