I’m short, small in general, but muscular. Also kind of goofy, and very sassy. I like to nap a lot and sometimes I’m gassy. I’m a French bulldog. ---

I’m a dachshund, naturally, in my heart. I’m just not short. ---

I want to be a Catahoula Leopard Dog or a Rhodesian Ridgeback. ---

Basset Hound. Low energy and pretty chill. Very happy to nap and eat treats. ---

Fiercely loyal to few; intolerant of most; a bark and a bite to induce fear and possibly bloodshed; amusing and playful; impish eyes; and the cutest little butt-struttin’ bod around. Scottish Terrier. ---

Tall, gentle, smart, and playful. I have long hair and love the cold weather. I can be intimidating to strangers. I’m a [Leonberger!](https://www.fugly.com/media/IMAGES/Random/leonberger_dog.jpg) ---

My friends and I were actually assigning dog breeds to each other a few days ago (yep, this is what life on the edge looks like). I got [pomeranian](http://petfriendlysites.com/petfriendlysites/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/happy-pomeranian.jpg). I have no regrets. ---

If I were a dog, I’d be a samoyed. They’re the closest thing the canine world has to being a smartass. ---

A Siberian husky, probably. Lots of hair, doesn’t mind the cold, startling eyes. Also, needs to have his/her energy directed into something positive or starts to cause trouble. 😃 Or possibly another Golden Retriever. Lots of long blonde hair, good with people, and tends to get fat if diet isn’t watched. 😛 > [@stillownedbysetters](#): > > I’m tall, long-legged, rather lean, have longer hair I’m a bit vain about, and have a narrow face.

I’m a short, chubby, [wideass](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jjfd4pzSqc), nipping at peoples heels and telling them where to get off. I’m a corgi. ---

I’m funny most of the time. I’m your best friend, if you’ll have me. I’m sharp as a tack one minute and dumb as a bag of hammers the next. I’m a Golden Retriever. ---

Some type of hound like a basset or beagle. Laid back, sometimes lazy. Friendly, but not very submissive or obedient. Can’t help but follow my nose, wherever it may lead. When I pick up a scent and I’m on the hunt I’m very single minded. ---

> [@WhyNot](#): > > I think both physically and in terms of temperament, I’d be a golden retriever. I’m a people pleaser, I like to help, I like to fetch information and items for people, and I’m generally fairly perky and cheerful in public, but I can tone that down very quickly to be quiet and sympathetic as the need arises. And I have long orangish red hair and a tendancy towards fat. 😃 That’s me, exactly. Plus I like to herd. I can’t stand people just standing around. I find it emotionally agitating. Get along, little dogies. ---
