> [@Baker](#): > > phouka, twickster, and I are all Chinese Shar-pei’s. Too bad we can’t meet IRL and see how accurate the descriptions are! Well, it makes sense that you and I are both Shar-Peis – us being twin sisters and all. ---

Weimaraner: A good looking, good natured animal with striking eyes and a beautiful, sleek appearance. It excels in it’s obedience and agility, making it a fine working dog or devoted family pet. Wow, it’s like they were looking right into my soul. :eek: ---

I’m an Old English Sheepdog. They’re kind of cute but the description doesn’t really match me. I’ve never felt a need to herd small children. ---

I’m the only Portugese Water Dog here? Very intelligent, very capable. Apprehensive of strangers. Loves to swim. Me, me, me, and…me. Awesome quiz, spot on. Now I may have to buy a Portie.

**Cairn Terrier** checking in. Personality: “A hardy, intelligent breed. Affectionate towards children and an intelligent guard. The Cairn Terrier is also a restless little busybody. Alert, loyal, lovable, and mischievous, they can be a little too independent so a firm hand is needed. Naturally patient with children and very playful, they learn tricks easily. Never leave a Cairn tied out, as he may fight larger dogs, sometimes with tragic consequences.” All me except fighting the larger dogs. Since I’m 4’11", I long ago wised up to the fact that EVERYONE is a larger dog who could very easily whip my butt. 😃 Mrs. Furthur ---

Clumber Spaniel. Crap, they’re ugly dogs. I’m not really a spaniel kind of person. Color me grumpy. ---

> [@taxi78cab](#): > > Schnauzer. It says “good with children.” But I specifically clicked the “poor” option for dealing with kids. I think it may have some details that need to be ironed out. I got the same results and I also put that I am poor with kids. 😕 Other than that though, it’s a pretty accurate description: playful, intelligent, hard-working, good at problem solving. Sounds like me… 😃 ---

A Swedish Vallhund- “An independent thinker that gets bored easily.” Good with kids. Likes to taunt cows. That’s me. ---

> [@little\*bit](#): > > [**MUNSTERLANDER (small)**](http://smallmunsterlander.org/) > I’m a setter/spaniel cross. I point & retrieve. Cool. I’m multi-talented. Me, too! And we’re both in MI, how coincidental… You’d think Munsterland would be ruled by a family of monsters, or creamy and flavorful white cheese.
