(Because I'm bored.) What are your top choices when you take the average dog breed selector? And do you find that those results are accurate; as in, would you own that breed of dog? Do you currently own one of the selected dogs?
I just googled and picked the top three quizzes.
Animal Planet Dog Breed Questionnaire
Dogtime Breed Selector
Select Smart Dog Breed Quiz
My top results from the Animal Planet selector:
At 98%:
1. Canaan Dog - never looked in to them before
2. German Shorthaired Pointer - I'd highly consider owning one
3. Pointer - honestly don't know much about them/how they differ from GSPs
At 96%:
4. Chesapeake Bay Retriever - my current breed of choice
5. Labrador Retriever - have owned, will own again!
6. Belgian Malinois - I've loved the ones I've met, but I'm not quite that crazy yet, I don't think
7. Pharaoh Hound - I've always loved the breed, but don't think a sighthound would be the best fit?
8. Wirehaired Pointing Griffon - wire haired = not my cup of tea
Dogtime:
1. Doberman Pinscher - not my cup of tea
2. American Water Spaniel - don't really know much about them
3. Curly Coated Retriever - on my list of "maybe some day"
4. Flat Coated Retriever - yes, but I'd pick a breed with a short coat over their coat type
5. German Shorthaired Pointer - apparently I should own a GSP
Select Smart: (all above 90%)
1. Weimaraner - all of the ones I've met have been neurotic, so that has kind of turned me off
2. Labrador Retriever - GSPs and Labs are apparently my breeds
3. Pointer - and Pointers
4. Poodle (standard) - too much grooming. But if I ever needed a non shedding dog? Sure!
5. Vizsla - I've loved the ones I've met
6. German Shorthaired Pointer - the world has decreed I am to own a GSP
7. Field Spaniel - considered one before I got Abrams, so I'd say a yes!
Overall, not too bad, I don't think. They definitely narrowed down my breed "type", even if different breeds have already been ruled out due to my own bias/personal experience. Post your results!
