Say, my Bouledogue Francais avatar actually was adopted because of this thread started by cowtime not all that long after I joined up. If you don't know what kind of dog you are (and wish to know), you can still take the test at the link she gives in the first post---go there and then click on "Games" on menu along the left-hand side.

I tried it twice- changing some of my answers the second time and both times it said I'm a field spaniel! ( I love dogs, but bird dogs are not among my favorite group)

edited to add- tried it a third time -changing personality traits and got -
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel- better, but still a spaniel

Daggone it, what do I have to do to be a terrier?

a DACHSHUND?? I can't be no DACHSHUND!!! I had a dachshund (Hildie) as a kid - the darn thing lived 18 years, which was 17 too many!!!

Of course, as the proud owner of two boxers, when "none" wasn't a choice in the intelligent level question - I knew that boxer wouldn't be one of the breeds chosen!!!

They were used as shepherd dogs (I do a lot of that...) and they're good with kids Plus they have the cutest curled tails. I love it! If I were to have a tail, that' definitely the tail I'd want.

That thread is before my time, I think, but I just took the test and I'm a Cumber Spaniel, which I've never heard of. So, yeah.

The Clumber Spaniel is described as a gentle, sweet, quite intelligent and pleasant dog.

I think it's you.

I'm so glad that you put my comments up there, Cynth! I had forgotten that I"d even taken that test, and was about to take it again when I saw what my results were to begin with

I still love that curly tail

What the hell is a tosa inu?

Site says they're never sold, only given. So I look up on Google and it says "Tosa Puppies for Sale".

I guess they are special wrestling dogs of Japan---they are called Sumo Dog sometimes apparently.
CLICK--->

Tosa wrestling is very similar to Sumo wrestling, and follows similar rules. Led to the ring by silk ropes, the Tosas wear embroidered ceremonial robes which can cost $30,000 or more. The two dogs are placed (robe-free) in a gazebo-shaped ring ten feet in diameter in the presence of a chief judge, two assistant judges, and three or more examiners. The dogs lock heads and attempt to push each other out of the ringed area.

For centuries, dogs have been bred for wresling in Japan. The Tosa-Ken in particular, has been a revered breed for over 900 years. The wresling dog originally found in the Tosa district of Japan (on the island of Shikoku in the Kochi Prefecture) is generally believed to have been the Nihon Inu, a medium sized dog bred to hunt wild boar. With the ending of Japanese isolation under the Tokugawa government, Japanese breeders began to systematically enhanced the breed with Western strains. As the influence of Western visitors increased , the Tosa-Ken was cross-bred with Bulldogs, Mastiffs, Bloodhounds, Great Danes, St. Bernard's, Bull Terriers, and Pointers. Which were comparatively much larger than the medium-sized Japanese Tosa-Ken. By the end of the Meiji era (1913) the breed had been perfected. This breed was named the Tosa-Inu, Tosa-Token, Tosa-Ken after the region in which it was developed.

If the shoe fits,.....

Yes, I can very well see myself duded up in a $30K rig, and the satin ropes might be pretty kinky, but I ain't taking it all off in a gazebo for anyone ... well, maybe for pay ...

I still believe in that statement.

I was picked up on it, and the resulting, ahem.. comparison is not down to me, but to a very creative and imaginative
member of our little pack.

I have always admired the subtle and dark secrets of Blackmail..

It's abundantly clear, based on those side by side pics Dubh, that the dog test is just grossly inaccurate. Yes, you're a wolfhound.
