I just finished reading a book called "Through A Dog's Eyes" by Jennifer Arnold. A good, interesting read for dog people. It's about understanding the world through a dog's perspective.
Anyway, she mentions a dog "personality" test in the book and I took it for Osiris. His results label him as a "Rebel." Pretty accurate. You can buy a report on how to work with your dog's personality type. I just thought this was intersesting.
Your Canine Behavior Type Index is
SAH - Rebel
Your dog is a Spontaneous, Alpha and High Activity type which we call the Rebel. The Rebel is a High (H) energy, full blooded dog with presence and attitude. Its focus is narrow, strong, and often not on its owner. Aimless, free activity suits the Rebel. It loves to go jogging, have a wander and sniff about.
Take the quiz and post your results! This should be fun! The website is:www.petconnectgame.com

Ok, so I tried answering in general for my 4 shorthairs, and the result was Commando.
Your dog is an Organised, Alpha and High Activity type which we call the Commando. The Commando is the most forceful, eye catching yet restrained character. It needs to work and will be on the go all day long. It sees the big picture and is most comfortable and effective working in a team. The Commando is calm, yet energetic maintaining focus on the team leader and the task at hand.
I think this is pretty accurate for all 4 of my dogs. |

Took the quiz for my 1year old GSP.....she is an SBH "An Adventurer". How true!! I guess I should not of named her as a pup...as her name is Rebel!! Guess she does not fit her name..LOL!
I had a hard time choosing between some of the cards....it would be interesting to take the same quiz when she is a little older and she what her personality is then.
Thanks for sharing,

Your dog is an Spontaneous, Gamma and High Activity type which we call the Investigator. The Investigator is a loveable, submissive, funny, even silly character that is happiest when obeying its leader or involved in freeform activity. The Investigator makes a great pet for active people. They are High (H) energy dogs that need exercise and love regular walks. |

Ok -
it was a difficult questioneer b/c there is the dog I have now, which is trained and the dog I had while training.
Haiko - OBM - Sentry
Your dog is an Organised, Beta and Medium Activity type which we call the Sentry. The Organised (O) factor motivates territoriality and the need to control its environment. Sentries can easily switch from dominant to submissive strategies due to the Beta (B) social status factor. The Medium (M) energy factor means they will defend and control modest areas.
Bregon - OBH - Defender
That was fun,thanks for posting it

Your Canine Behavior Type Index is
OBH - Defender
Your dog is an Organized, Alpha and High Activity type which we call the Defender. The Defender's social position is ambiguous due its Beta (B) nature and it may appear to be a leader or a follower at various times. Defenders are flexible about social structure but their Organised (O) factor means that environmental order and clear rules are preferred. In the 'original wolf pack' Defenders could easily fill any positions vacated due to illness or accident. |

OGH - Deputy
Your dog is an Organised, Gamma and High Activity type which we call the Deputy. The Deputy is a submissive, mouldable, balanced character. It happily does the leader's bidding, is easily led and controlled but prefers an orderly environment. The Deputy conforms to its leader's wishes most readily. Deputies are easy to train, willing to conform socially and team spirited. They are everybody's friend.

This went for both dogs are they are so much alike. Only difference is Velvet takes a little while to calm down versus Windsor when we first come home.

I tried to do it in general of my dogs and got:
OGH - Deputy

Which mostly seems right on. That was kind of neat. |
