No bones about it, you’re an intelligent, playful Pug. Witty and charming, you’re a lot of dog wrapped in a small package. People just love you — a wonderful approachability and sense of humor put you at the top of everyone’s list. Smart and quick-witted, you attract a crowd wherever you go. But that doesn’t mean you can’t be a little naughty or mischievous when opportunity knocks — you’ve definitely got a nose for fun! A happy, optimistic breed, you’re admired and respected by all. Woof! Awwwww! I’m a cute, little smash-nosed doggy! Now where did I put that cute little metal collar/choker? ---

What is it with all the basset hounds here? Can’t I even be a distinctive DOG?!?!? ---

Sorry to break this to you all, but this test is all wet. It says I am a Bernese Mountain Dog, when EVERYONE knows that I am a **Scottie dog with a big blue bow**! Who ya’ gonna believe, various posters here, or some anonymous tester? Woofy Scotti ---

I am a Pug. I hardly think so. (I’m more of a Border Collie, at least at work.) ---

No bones about it, you’re an energetic, devoted Chihuahua. For your breed, size definitely doesn’t matter. After all, sometimes the best things come in small packages. Honest and straightforward, you’re never afraid to speak up for what you believe in. Having such a passionate personality can come with a few drawbacks, though. You can be moody at times, and people often find it hard to meet your high standards. But once you make a friend, it’s for life. Saucy and intense, your energy and unfailing loyalty make you a great companion. Woof! * * * What’s really depressing is thinking how many times bigger I am than a chihuahua! ---

Well, apparently I’m a pug. I guess that works considering that Milo has commented that I have a rather pug nose. Now, if only I could stop that annoying snorting and grunting when I get excited… ---

No big surprise here for me… Scottish Terrier. I took some others too… My celebrity mate is Jennifer Lopez? No freakin’ way. Janeane Garrofalo yes, Salma Hayek definately but Ms. Lopez? ACK! Methinks I will hurl now. And yes it’s true, I am indeed the god of love. ---

What a coincidence! No kidding! I’m not fooling! It really truly came out that I am a . . . . St. Bernard. Yes, I am the patron saint of dogs. Seems like a lot of us are either Basset Hounds or Pugs, but I just had to be different . . . _slobber, drool_ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-breed-of-dog-are-you/38317.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-breed-of-dog-are-you/38317.md?page=3)
