Doggies! Doggies! Doggies! My first impulse would be to say a coonhound because my baby is a coonhound but a lot of people who live around here and have coondogs treat them really badly... but then again, I'm not sure.

Probably a wild dog of some type; a feral dog living on the outskirts of town. Or a golden retriever... that would be nice... but truly, I don't want to be a dog. Not at all, at all.

That kind would keep an eye out for whatever kind of tree Barbra Walters would be...or a golden retriever.

Alias Irrelevante

I'd either be a mutt or a wolf.

Some sort of terrier...i love those :)

Angela, 16
Aiken, SC   USA

I'd probably be a Golden Retriever. They're blond, friendly, energetic, and loyal. But I'd much rather be a cat.

Katie, 25
Seminole, FL   USA

Probably one of the spaniels -- they are curly haired, friendly and reasonably intelligent.

Jane, 60
West Linn, OR   USA

I think I would be a poodle or peikanese. I'm fairly high maintainance so I need lots of grooming and love to be happy.

Stephanie, 25

God, I hate these sort of questions, the answers belong in a lonely hearts column, "Dedicated border collie seeks shy reclusive poodle". No don't ask them.

Maria

One of those little weiner dogs... Don't ask me why; it just seems to fit...

Jeremy, 14
Highlands Ranch, CO  USA

Golden Retriever

Melodi, 19
Gahanna, OH   USA

A scruffy but affectionate little mutt.

Talia, 23
Wilton, CT   USA

Hmm... I can't think of any breed to suit me. I'd more likely be a cat - quiet and lazy.

Shanna, 16

A black lab, their the best.

Sarah S., 17

An indulged cocker spaniel.

I thought about having a dog, but I don't think it would be a good idea... I can't even keep a plant away in my flat, I guess I am just not good at such things.

But if I had a dog, it would be of a small breed, a vital one, but nevertheless a dog I could cuddle with.

Holger, 21
Linden  GERMANY

Probably an Airedale--I'd have some dignity and a great deal of energy and purpose.

Jill, 60
Saylorsburg, PA  USA

Irish Wolfhound. Be able to scare most anyone!

Jonathan, 19
Brevard, NC   USA

Probably a Boxer or a Beagle. You know...I have no idea why, but those were the two breeds that came to mind first as I pondered this cute question.

According to http://quiz.ivillage.com/parentsoup/tests/dogs.htm   I'd be a Jack Russell Terrier, and according to http://www.emode.com/c/579/dog/  I'd be a Cocker Spaniel. I suspect the offspring of those two dogs together would be rather peculiar.

A Beagle. After all, Beagle's reek of awesomeness...My old dog, the Legendary Big Guy Sarge (1985-199) was a Beagle...and Dilly Willy is a Beagle...so I probably am a bit biased in favor of Beagles.

Mick, 30
Chicago, IL   USA

According to a silly (but fun little test on emode - http://www.emode.com ), I am like a Bernese Mountain Dog (St. Bernard). I actually would agree with that.

Felicia, 35
Lowell, MA   USA

I would be a mutt. I think that mutts are often healthier than pure bred dogs. More importantly, though, I think that specific things are not usually expected of mutts - so that they get to develop into their own individuals.

Deb, 40
Simcoe 

A dachshund.

Kim, 30
New York, NY   USA

I took the same test as Felicia (www.emode.com) and it says that I, too, am a Bernese Mountain Dog. But I don't know what that is. If I had my druthers, I'd be an Alaskan Malamute, big and scary looking. Won't NOBODY mess with me.

Reba, 51
Rockville, MD   USA

A Queensland Heeler...just like my real dog.

Kevin M.

A Golden Retriever that someone takes VERY good care of!
