A Man's Best Friend Reveals Much About His Personality

What better way to gauge a man's suitability than by scrutinizing the type of dog he owns? Finding out whether or not you're compatible with a guy might just be as simple as looking at his dog.

Studying your potential mate's "best friend" can help you determine what type of man you are dealing with and whether or not he is your type.

Is the measure of your dog-loving man his willingness to take in a needy stray from the pound or is it more important to you that he insists on acquiring only the most prized or valuable breed?

Of course, it is not simply the dog that defines a man, but his choices and the reasons he makes them that are noteworthy when deciding to date him. But if you need emergency advice on what to look for, here are five dog breeds (and their men) that are easily analyzed for their date-ability.

A Man And His Dog - Golden Retriever Bliss
Settle Down With This Stable-Minded Guy

A guy who owns a golden retriever is guaranteed to be drama-free and stable.

This man is ready to settle down. He probably figures he's already got the family dog, so why not just add the family?

The man who chooses such a canine is likely pretty down to earth and calm. People with this type of dog usually enjoy a lifestyle that includes taking relaxed walks and just being active in the great outdoors.

These dogs are known to be lovable and warm-hearted, just like their owners. Guys with this breed value their devoted companions as much as they value the idea of a shared life. If you are lucky enough to find a guy with a Goldie, snatch him up quickly before someone else does.

A Man And His Dog - Pugnacious Not
Pug Owners Are Playful, Fun-Loving Men

A man who owns a pug can usually be counted on to make a woman laugh.

These dogs and their men are usually very social even among strangers. They seem to do well when people are showing them love for all that they add to society with their mere presence.

All kidding aside though, men who have pugs are definitely not compensating for anything with the size of their dog -- usually quite the contrary as they have large abilities to bring a smile to their date's face with their playful antics.

Pug owners are super approachable and can have a good time all by themselves. A gal is just lucky to be invited along for the fun.

Go forth with a guy who owns a pug and you can count on light-hearted amusement and possibly sharing this happy-go-lucky approach to life.

Wait For It: The All-American Male >>
A Man And His Dog - Beagles And Bald Eagles
Say Hello To The Handy, All-American Male

The owner of a beagle can best be described as the all-American male. This man enjoys the simple things in life such as hunting, fishing and living the dream.

These men tend to have an upbeat approach to life and do not sweat the details. They can do things like create furniture from scratch and are also man enough to help you decorate the room containing that furniture.

They can do anything they set their minds to and if you end up with a man like this, you will always feel that life is satisfying simply because you're alive.

These men love their hobbies but are unafraid to shower you with the bounty that is their life. They can bake artisan bread and in the same day butcher a deer.

They love their loyal beagles and probably have the capacity to love you just as much.

Coming Up: The Well-Bred Man >>
A Man And His Dog - Welsh Corgi Gentleman
Refined Gentlemen Offer Charm, Distinction

The man who owns a Welsh corgi is typically a man of distinction. You will be mesmerized by their charm and their social ease.

They are gentlemen of the purest form and tend to have an interest in a wide variety of topics from artisan activities, to British Literature, to history, to dark humor, to gastronomical pursuits.

Yet never mistake their gentle breeding with weakness as this is simply not the case.

They are well respected among their male counterparts and prefer their women friends and companions to also hold themselves to of the highest standards. They give themselves a high bar by which to live and expect the same out of their mate.

If you win the heart of a man like this, you will be the queen of his world forever.

Last But Not Least: The Sensibly Rebellious Altruist >>
A Man And His Dog - Mixed Breed Mensch
Honorable Men Rescue 'Mutts' From Shelters

A man who intentionally chooses mutt ownership is likely to be a decent and sensible human being. "Mongrels" are statistically healthier, less expensive and can possess any combination of desirable breed traits.

It is honorable to rescue a shelter dog, most of which are of mixed breeds. The ideal dog-loving man is one who is willing to offer his home to an elderly dog or to one with chronic issues which cannot otherwise be adopted.

Plus, a guy who questions the mere perpetuation of intentional canine over-breeding may just have a James Dean-type rebel streak in his blood, which is always hot.

So if you can score a dude with an elderly mutt he's recently adopted, it's likely this man can be your moral compass throughout your life of good deeds together.

Do not let this man get away as he is by far a rare breed.

I know a guy the has a golden retriever and the guy is far from stable and he let his dog pull him all around when the dog take the guy from a walk. I would use not this post to find a guy.
 
be the dog

Something like that generalizes way tooo much. I knew a guy have a golden. Was a racist of the first order. Cheated on his wife and 2 faced church goer.
Its not so much the dog but how a man treats the dog. Like with pitbulls , way too many urban men use them as a status symbol and train them to fight. Some men can do right by the pitbull, but the pitbull rep is well earned as a badass dog.
I had a wildass dog that took me a long time to train. My vet wanted to put him down but I was patient and got him to listen and be better with people.
One thing that may be true is that the dog looks like the owner

I agree with you , this does generalizes and I hate that. I think you tell what a person it like more by the way they treat their pets. when you get a service dog you do not pick out the breed you will get. So this list would not apply very good to this.

But service animals are not pets.

I do believe a dog's breed reflect on a person's personality-- as long the dog in question wasn't a freebie. Otherwise, why would people have preferences?


I think the fact I prefer German/Dutch shepherds, corgis and spitz-type breeds speak volumes about myself, however, I am not sure what those breed means for me. Border collies, blue heelers and coolies are also my favourites, but I don't own an acre-- so they're out of the question.

my dog is not me

Like the variety of breeds the reasons people pick one type of dog varies. A lot can depend on what the dog looks like. Ask a kid why he picked one kind of dog out of many at a spca shelter and the kid will say " I like him" I have picked dogs with energy blike a german shepard and a lap dog to stay near me so I can use them as my ears. So there I would be with a big mean german shepard and a little peekapoo. What does that say about me ? The peek apoo was a lot more likely to bite you than the shepard too.

I agee about that part, LOL. Many people states me, and my pitts have same personality. lol
 
I don't know what my dog says about me but don't listen to him.....he lies. Tells me people at the door when it's just a bird. Begs for food like he is starving when he just ate. Tells me he wants to go for a walk but he really just wants to check his tree mail. I am just glad he can't type.
 
And I left out that he claims he doesn't have to pee when there is snow.

I was at animal shelter with a friend years ago and she starting poking me with her elbow that a man was giving away a beautiful white , I had no plans on getting a dog that day , but when I saw the Samoyed Husky , I had to take her. I never saw a Samoyed Husky before so I knew nothing about them. We looked nothing alike and was nothing like but I loved her.
 
TxGolfer I think my dog is your dogs long lost brother. Or they both watch the same tv shows when we are not home
