Breed questionnaire

The Glow Dog questionnairre was most accurate of the three for me. The top results were definitely dogs I would choose and well suited to my lifestyle....

both gave me a lh chihuahua for an option one was second choice and the other was at 85% which was a tie among many dog breeds.

The UK test had me down for a Basset Hound. The US was much closer with the Bull mastiff, cause I LOVE the big dogs! I Put down Large/ Giant dog in the UK one and personaly I dont think the bassett quilifies as large or giant. I would think that they are closer to medium.

glowdog gave me a bloodhound when I was deliberately tweaking the answers to try to get it to say "border collie"???????

The UK one gave be beagle as my first choice, then German Shorthaired Pointer, Greyhound, and lab.  The US one gave me French Bulldog, Crogi, then Beagle.
 
Both pretty accurate I would think

Hmmm, I took the glowdog quiz and that one was much more detailed. Definitely a better quiz! Most of the breed choices make sense, but a few are like huh? I entered that I wanted a very stable, gentle dog and I don't think Border Terriers (my number one match!) or Silky Terriers fit that. The rest of them are pretty good though... but still no Shih Tzu.

Glowdog did alright for me. In my top 10, I got:
 
Mastiff 94%  (Yup, love mastiffs)
Neo Mastiff  89% (See above)
Pyrs 89% (If I ever get the farm I want and have sheep, I may have some Pyrs or Marremmas as flock guardians, otherwise no.)
Bouv. Des Flanders 89% (Nope.)
Bullmastiff 87% (Yesyes!)
St. Bernard 84% (A bit more hair than I'd like, but yes.)
German Shepherd 84% (In the past I would have said no, but they're growing on me. So yeah, probably.)
Akita 84% (Well, I have one, so yes. I've only had mine for 4 months and he's still a teenager so it's really too soon tot ell if I'll ever have on again.)
Rottweiler 82% (Yeah, rotties are good.)
Kuvasz 82% (Not so much.)
 
 
I'm a mastiff and bully breed girl, so I went down the list to see what it gave me on those breeds.
 
They didn't list APBT, but for Amstaff I got 66%. Probably because I said I liked good guard dogs and giant breeds, which they're really neither of. So that was my fault. For Bull Terrier, I got 66%, for Staffordshire Bull I got 56%,  and for Bulldog, I only got 12%. Still, my fualt for placing too much emphasis on giant and guarding breeds.
 
Overall, it did alright. I'm probably going to stick to pitties and similar breeds in the future, but based on what I put in, it gave me some good responses.

89%Australian Shepherd Those were my results.

I think it did pretty well. It suggested a Basset for me with Shar Pei and Boxer as runners up. I like Bassetts actually - sucker for hounds and all that.

That UK site didn't work at all for me.  It said the only breed that matched my requirements was a Golden Retriever, one of the last breeds I would ever own. 
Glowdog worked pretty well.  It gave Mastiff, St Bernard, and Irish Wolfhound as my top three.  I've been looking at Wolfhounds for years and I might be getting one once I have the room. 

I came out as a Golden Retriever, one of the two breeds I own.
