Do you love having a tiny pooch peeking out of your purse? Or do you prefer a bigger pup, preferably one who is always up for a game of Frisbee? Your answer to this question may say a lot about you. "We go for dogs that are a bit like us, just as we go for a romantic partner who is a bit like us," study researcher Lance Workman, a psychologist at Bath Spa University in the United Kingdom, told LiveScience.
Workman conducted a survey of 1,000 owners of purebred dogs in collaboration with the Kennel Club, and found that owners of toy dogs (like Chihuahua-lover Paris Hilton) score high on "openness," meaning how intellectually curious, open to new experiences and appreciative of arts and culture a person is. (Does Paris Hilton really fit into this category?)
Along with toy dog owners, owners of gun dogs (such as the Labrador retriever or golden retriever) are the most agreeable. People who own pastoral breeds, including German shepherds and collies; or utility breeds, such as bulldogs, are the most extroverted. And the most emotionally stable people are likely to own hounds, including beagles, Afghans and greyhounds. So, spill it: What type of dog do you prefer?

One thing nice about springers like him is he's a BIG coward, but if someone comes to the door he makes a bark like a big dog. Crminals aren't going to see if the dog behind the door is going to chomp their arm off, but rather they will go somewhere else.
I always refer to Amos as "my little boy". He's spoiled and I like it that way!
Thank you so much for sharing. Have an awesome day!
so kind. If I ever get another dog it will be another just like the one I had.
They are so beautiful and loyal. They will have your back if someone tries to approach your door or yourself. I just love their friendliness and playfulness.
They are truly one of the best breeds around. Once you have one you will swear by them as I'm sure you do ! Good luck with him. I would like to add you.
Anyone who loves Springers is a friend of mine. :))

Just like a teddy bear :)
Although really, I don't have any stipulation or whatever to what dog I own. All mine are rescues; two of them small (an Applehead Chihuahua mix and a Terripoo puppy), one medium (a Cocker Spaniel/Dauschund mix), and one large (Rotweiler/Queensland Heeler mix).
Quite a variety, none of which fall into my preference of breeds, but I love them all endlessly.
(no pics of the large one sadly :( )
