I saw this quiz over at Breanna’s blog and I couldn’t pass it up! I took her out for her birthday dinner and told her I was stealing this! My blog is Synopses by Sarge, named after my beloved pup! Initially, I was thinking he was a full-blown Hufflepuff, but he is also a Gryffindor (like his momma!).

1. You take your dog to the a brand new dog park. They:
✓⃝ Bravely bounce into the park, introducing themselves to all the dogs.
⃝ Stick right by your side, annoyed if another dog tries to approach you.
⃝ Are mostly interested in the agility toys (hoops, jumps) set up.
⃝ Quickly introduce themselves to the other humans present, figuring out how to get pets/scratches from each.
2. You place a treat under one of three upside-down cups. They:
⃝ Wait for you to reveal where the treat is.
✓⃝⃝ Sniff until they’ve found the right cup, and push it over to receive the treat.
⃝ Immediately go to the correct cup and treat, no sniffing required.
⃝ Knock over all three cups to find the treat.
3. A visitor comes over for the first time. Your dog:
⃝ Runs happily up to the person, wagging their tail.
⃝ Sticks by your side until you indicate that the visitor is okay.
⃝ Does something new and unexpected each time you have a new visitor.
✓⃝⃝ Doesn’t let the person in until they have been thoroughly sniffed and approved of.
4. It’s time for a treat! Your dog prefers:
✓⃝ Pretty much anything you give them. They’re always up for something new!
⃝ A simple puzzle toy, like a Kong filled with peanut butter
⃝ A complex puzzle toy, where they have to solve a puzzle to get a treat dispensed (like a shuffle board or flip board)
⃝ A chew, such as a bull stick or beef knuckle
5. Does your dog have any nervous habits?
⃝ Nope, they’re always confident.
⃝ ✓⃝They yawn.
⃝ They hide.
⃝ They stick out their tongue or lick their nose.
6. Does your dog bark a lot?
✓⃝⃝ Only if approached by an unfamiliar dog or person.
⃝ All the time.
⃝ Only if you ask them to “speak”.
⃝ Yes, but only at a low volume.
7. You take your dog to an obedience class. They:
⃝ Grow bored after a while and start exploring the area.
⃝ Keep trying until they get every command perfectly.
✓⃝ Pick the commands up quicker than all the other dogs in the class.
⃝ Figure out how to get to the treats without following a command.
8. Would your dog make a good service dog?
⃝ Maybe. They’re generally kind to everyone, but also love adventures.
✓⃝⃝ Absolutely! My dog would do anything for me.
⃝ Sure – they’re a quick learner.
⃝ Nope, there’s no way they wouldn’t get into trouble.
9. You take your dog hiking. They:
⃝ Run ahead to scout out the trail.
✓⃝ Never get tired and stick by your side the whole time.
⃝ Want to sniff everything.
⃝ Stay close, but as the leader of your “pack.”
10. You give your dog a new toy. They:
✓⃝ Destroy it.
