They say that people look like their pets. I've certainly seen a few that do. Does the breed of dog you choose say something about your personality, though? Perhaps it does. Certainly we prefer different traits in different breeds because they match what we like best in a friend. It could be that you like Labradors best because you are happy-go-lucky and always looking for a good time.

Wonder if the dogs we choose to share our homes with really do say something about our personalities?

What does your dog say about you?

Basset Hound – Many Basset hound owners are laid back and enjoy the comforts of home. They have lots of great traits but are never considered overly neat or meticulous.
