5 things your dog says about you

When we decide to adopt a dog as a pet and we choose one above the rest we do it for some reason.On occasions the race will prevail or precisely that it is not of race, its physical characteristics, the character that it has or for other qualities.

deliberately or not, our final decision originates in an unconscious reaction that intertwines our personality with the type of dog in question.Basically your dog can reflect many things about your personality, your tastes and your lifestyle.

It is very interesting to see people with their respective partners on the street and observe that they can even share certain physical characteristics.Hence the famous saying " Dogs resemble their owners ".

Do you want to know what your dog says about you ? Continue reading this Animals and Pets Online article and you will see that your dog and you are much more similar than you think.

The physical appearance

In some cases, a dog could become a person's mirror .In an unconscious way we look for a dog that looks like us even in his physical.This demonstrates the ego personal and, at the same time, the importance of the presence that this canine will have in our life.Although formerly we related men with big dogs and women with small or fine dogs, nowadays it is not like that:

  • People with an overwhelming personality choose dogs that also show this personality in their physical attributes: the Afghan greyhound, the Chinese crested or the komondor are a good example of that.
  • On the other hand, bull-type dogs, such as the American pit bull terrier, the American staffordshire terrier or the English bull terrier, could relate to people from the world of sport, people who know the social marginalization suffered by " potentially dangerous dogs "or by families that do not have no qualms about adopting these breeds, oblivious to the social stigma they receive.
  • Small dogs such as chihuahua, miniature pinscher or bichon frize are common in people living in small flats while the biggest ones are not so typical in urban centers because of the large space they demand.

Regardless of their race, physical appearance is directly related to our tastes and the perception received by the society about its appearance.Our pet will be a mini version of ourselves .Is this your case?

The personality

The personality is a key factor in the selection of your pet: Open, spontaneous and outgoing people will look for the same in your dog and these will be the souls of the canine parties in all the parks.If on the contrary your dog is withdrawn, antisocial and shy (like you) maybe you could think about opening up a little more to the outside world and inviting your dog in this new social adventure.

The same with regard to the education of the dog.A rude dog who ignores, that is too detached and constantly annoys other dogs and their owners, sometimes it could be a sign that their own owner He is somewhat careless, not very sociable and does not spend enough time with him.However, this is not a fixed norm, since there are cases of responsible owners who fail to correct the bad behavior of his furry companion.For them, we recommend going to a ethologist as soon as possible and leave the situation in the hands of p Professionals.

Dogs that, rather than active are hyperactive, are usually the pets of people who consider sport as an essential part of their life and who love activities such as "crossfit" or "bootcamps." For example, I have a friend who is a triathlonist and has a jack russell terrier as a pet.However, an overactive dog can also be a sign that the owner does not walk it with the appropriate frequency or does not exercise with it.

A dog that is too trained, almost military-style, will surely have an owner with a strict personality and a very demanding lifestyle. What does your dog say about you?

5 things your dog says about you

How has your dog come home?

The way in which your pet has arrived at his new house can give many keys about your personality: If you have always wanted to have a dog but you had not seriously considered it and one day you enter a store of pets and you go out with a puppy in your arms, this is an indication that you could have a tendency towards impulsivity.It also reflects a passive attitude towards the trade of living beings and little interest in abandoned animals.Let's not forget that in the shelters there are also dogs of race that have been abandoned by people who are too "impulsive".

If on the other hand you are a methodical person, too organized and even undecided, you could spend years reading, asking and researching before having a pet.Your case is that you have a purebred dog with pedigree and parents of competition champions, it could indicate that you like to demonstrate your achievements to other people, such as, peacock ritual.However, there are also cases of people who decide in promoting the dog trade simply because they do not know the large number of dogs that are housed in the shelters waiting to have a new home.

Did you adopt your dog in a shelter or kennel, or have you rescued him from the street? Well then you have a generous, selfless and compassionate personality .You just have to look for a particular breed of dog, what interests you is to be part of the life of a creature and that she is part of yours, This means that you are a person who empathizes easily.

The care and hygiene

Do you comb your dog's hair all the time? Do you buy clothes that go with the season and personalized collars? The care and appearance of your dog is an area that could reveal things about you.Your pet will reflect how much emphasis you make on maintaining your own personal image.It is not the same a very well-groomed dog, than a careless one with knots in the hair and with the presence of parasites.

The type of fur of your canine is also an indicator of your personality.If you are a meticulous and tidy person, you could choose dogs with short fur.If you are one of the most carefree type , you will not care so much about the type of fur.

Similarly, this is not a rule, surely, nobody likes the idea of ​​having a house full of hair and there are many people who have dogs with a beautiful coat, because they love how they look and also likes to comb them and make braids .

Other indicators

The people who like to take care of themselves , live a healthy life and care about their surroundings, tend to feed their dogs more carefully.That is, they take their time preparing, for example, delicious homemade muffins for dogs and whenever they go to the supermarket they think about them and buy them treats, however, it does not necessarily mean that if you feed your dog with canned food or I think (perrarina), you are left-handed and you are not interested in his well-being.

What he may mean is that you are a pragmatic person who likes to take things with practicality and who relies on traditional food brands for dogs.

A dog that feels comfortable walking all over the house, but respects some limits, is the pet of a educated person , who at the same time consider it part of the family.If you like to share your bed with your pet, maybe you are a A very affectionate and sweet person who appreciates the physical signs of affection.

The owners who have their dog all the time away from home, who do not let him in or who have him tied up, are people with possessive impulses , but at the same time, they are indifferent and consider their dog as a belonging, rather than as a companion.Do not forget that before the decision to decide if the dog should go inside the house or outside, we must always choose inside since it is a social animal that needs affection and company.

Now, what do you think your dog's breed says about you? With all this data you can already check if your dog is a complete reflection of you or only share some nuances.
