About This Quiz

If you're like a beagle, you might be very friendly and love kids. If you're like a German shepherd, you might be very protective and fight for what is right. It takes many different types of people to make the world go around and many different breeds of dogs as well! The dog breed that you like the most might not be the breed that is right for you, however. What you like is important, but making sure you can handle them and get along with one another is even more important!

Did you know that one of the friendliest dog breeds is a pug? On the other side of the coin, many people believe certain dog breeds are dangerous. Of course, this is not always true! If a dog is well-trained and socialized, it's less likely that it will ever be dangerous or harm anyone. Dogs just want love as we all do! They also have their own temperaments and preferences. When getting a dog, it's important and fun to learn their quirks and ways of life.
