It’s no coincidence that some people are just like their dogs. Researchers in Bath, England conducted an online survey of 1000 dog owners and found that certain human personality traits link to specific canines. The research claims that if you own a German shepherd, you’re most likely outgoing. Got a golden retriever? Odds are you’re conscientious. A chihuahua? Research says you’re agreeable. “It seems likely that personality types are subconsciously drawn to certain breeds,” reported study author Lance Workman in a British Psychological Society news release. The study indicates that you may be able to predict some-one’s personality based on his or her dog of choice. Of course, lifestyle plays a part too. For example, according to Workman, more active individuals are better suited to athletic, pastoral breeds such as border collies, while those who are considered emotionally stable might be suited to hand dogs such as beagles or greyhounds.
