Love My Pet

Welcome to our Personality Profiler, an interactive guide to finding a dog that fits your lifestyle. We have put together a series of questions about your likes and dislikes that correspond to certain physical and behavioural characteristics of dogs. After each group of lifestyle questions, we explain how your answers relate to certain dog characteristics. This is not foolproof, but should help you understand how your likes and dislikes translate to a dog that is most compatible with you.

After you've finished this section, visit our A~ Z of Dog Breeds to view the behavior and temperament of individual breeds. This will help you to match your preferences with a suitable canine companion.
