Found a new test site [http://www.emode.com](http://www.emode.com) and it’s bunches of fun. This test is my favorite: [http://www.emode.com/tests/dog2.html](http://www.emode.com/tests/dog2.html) According to the test, I am most like a **COLLIE**. You are a sensitive breed who is very in tune with the feelings of others. Your level of awareness in the realm of interpersonal relationships makes you very approachable, and friends probably come to you for advice and comfort. Your intense loyalty and relaxed personality make you a wonderful confidant. Since you are so giving, your friends might not realize that you need them just as much as they need you. After all, what is a Collie without a flock? So, **what kind of dog are you?** * * * You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you. ---

I am apparently in the ego-building class of dogs after reading this result. ## You are most like a **GOLDEN RETRIEVER.** You are loved by all. Your extroverted and fun personality automatically makes you one of the coolest and most popular people around. In addition to being socially elite, you are also attractive both inside and out. You seem to have a magnetic personality that makes you the life of any party. You are probably pretty accomplished at anything you set your mind to, and have a very supportive and fun-loving social network. A Golden is a great dog to be! Have you voted for your favorite, huggable Mullinator today? ---

You are most like a BASSET HOUND. You are one laid-back individual! You cherish your “down time” and treasure the moments that you have no responsibility to anyone but your couch and TV set. You are easy to get along with and are extremely low maintenance. You probably love to hang out with your friends, as long as it is in a low-key environment. Although some might consider you lazy, you prefer to think of yourself as “relaxed.” Your no-frills approach to life makes you a refreshing friend to all. * * * I’m pink therefore I’m Spam ---

> [@](#): > > You are most like a **PUG**. You are a lot of dog wrapped in a small package. Your witty humor and undeniable charm puts you at the top of everyone’s list. You are blessed with both intelligence and an infectious personality. You are a happy breed who has perfect manners, yet still has a playful and mischievous side. You are admired and respected by all who know you. Sounds like a great dog!

I’m and Irish setter too: You are most like an IRISH SETTER. You are a fun-loving breed with a devil-may-care attitude toward life. Your refreshing outlook endears you to your close friends and many acquaintances. They love having you around because of your light-hearted nature, witty jokes and nose for fun can (and do) enliven any social situation. You are interested in and excited about many different things. Such varied interests make you a well-rounded individual but they may also create a tendency towards distraction. You are one of the lucky dogs who will always be a kid at heart! **UncleBeer:** If I remember correctly the Bernese Mountain Dog is similar in stature of that of a St. Bernard. They are usually dark brown with similar fur of the St. Bernard. I forget what they are bred for, but something comes into mind fishing, but I may be loosing it \< grin \> ---
