I have a dog his name is Max and he is a lovable and 'slightly overweight' Border Collie - this must mean, according to this article, that as his owner I have a problem due to his 'slightly over-weightness'. Could it be that perhaps he is overweight because he is older and not as active as he used to be (much like me)?

When I saw this articles it grabbed my interest because I am both a dog lover and dog owner - but it sort of made wonder...'What, then is the owner personality type of a 'Daschund, Chihuahua or Wolfhound?

See what you think....!

Forrest Gump said, "Momma always says there's an awful lot you could tell about a person by their shoes. Where they're going. Where they've been." For dog owners there is an awful lot you can tell about them by their dog. A dog can give you a good look into his master’s personality. There is a wide variety of dogs and their masters all with varied lifestyles and characteristics. They range from the homeless guy on the corner with his "Heinz 57" mixed breed to the high society debutant with her champion poodle imported from France. Whoever you are and wherever you are from there is most likely a dog that fits your personality.

There are a few different clues to our personality given away by our dogs. First, is the type of dog that we have. For example the German Shepherd is widely recognized as a great all around dog. The German Shepherd is known to be very smart and high in energy. A well trained German Shepherd shows that his master is a person that can be the leader of the pack at home. What about when you see a Pit Bull? Isn't it pretty much the opposite effect? These dogs have a reputation as being unpredictable, aggressive, and dangerous. Often a person that has a Pit Bull is someone that is trying to look tough. They think that having a dog that is capable of killing makes them look intimidating. In reality, it can show that they are possibly victims of S.M.S. ( Small Man Syndrome ).

Another clue to your personality is the health of your dog. If your dog eats right, gets enough exercise and attention from you it shows that you really care about your companion. Having a healthy, happy dog also shows that you are a responsible person and that you are capable of providing a good life for your dog. A sickly dog or one that is either over or under weight is an obvious sign that his master does not care about him. Or maybe they liked the idea of having a dog, and then after a little while the novelty was gone and they started to neglect their dog. This person should not have a dog.

One more way that your dog says something about you is his behavior. We have all been to the park and seen the out of control dog that cannot even walk along side his master on a leash. Seeing someone try to get an untrained dog to listen can be painful to watch. Most likely this person is the type of person that starts something and then does not finish it. They got a dog and want to have fun with him, but they have failed to put the proper time and effort into training the dog. Being the master of a well trained dog shows that a person is willing to put in the work ahead of time to have an enjoyable experience with their dog.

Having a dog can be a great experience for both master and pet. This is as long as you take care of mans best friend in the right way. So enjoy this relationship and show others your personality through your dog.
