Normally, these things are never accurate, but this one actually surprised me. I don't think they have a DS on there, but my top picks were Groendael 83%, Tervuren 83%, Malinois 81%, and GSD 79%. Pretty much the combination of all of those would get me Odin and he's my perfect dog.

I'm curious as to what others get...

OK, I'll play...Staffy, Whippet, Basset Hound were my top three in that order. Interesting....

I ended up with Icelandic Sheepdog, Belgian Sheepdog(Black), Belgian Tervuren, Labrador, and Pumi.

Interesting mix, and most not that common around here.

The hubby (who was never a dog person before me) got Australian Cattle Dog, Puli, Tervuren, and Malinois. Aside from the fact that he could NEVER care for a corded dog's coat, the personalities were very in line with what would do well with him. I see the ACD as a corky little sister to the DS. Less serious, a little more energy, and more easy going. He does great with "trained" Odin, but probably couldn't handle a green dog by himself.

All the Belgian breeds for me: Malinois (71%), Groendael (71%), Tervuren (71%)... and the GSD came in 3rd.

Curly coated retriever, Belgian Malinois and Sheepdog, and Labrador Retriever.


Not sure I know anything about the 1st one, but the list seems accurate.

German Shepherd Dog 85%
Belgian Tervuren 81%
Belgian Sheepdog 81%
Bouvier des Flandres 80%
Belgian Malinois 76%

I looked at my top 10 matches--interesting.

1. GSD 93%-This was my primary breed when I was breeding and showing dogs--My favorite!
2.Tervuren 83%--NO.
3. Bouvier 83%--No. That much grooming is not for me anymore!
4.Belgian Sheepdog 79%--No
5. Malinois 79%--No
6.Beauceron 79%--Owned and shown a few.
7.Boerboel 76%--No
8.Cattle Dog 76%--Owned and shown a few.
9.Puli 73%--No thanks
10. Rottweiler 73%--Owned, shown, and bred.

*lol* I couldn't play until I got to work on a real computer, as I tried over the weekend on my phone and the site said there was no mobile app. My top 3 were GSD 82%, Malinois 73%, and Belgian Shepherd 70% I'm curious as to what hubby-to-be's stats would show... I think wildly different, but who knows. I do know that he could never handle Moko on his own. *lol* Maybe after he's more mature and has more training solidly under his belt, (meaning Moko, not the fiancee! Though it could probably apply to both! )

Okay, made hubby-to-be play... He also has never had a dog until living with me. His top 5 were, in order 1 to 5, Chesepeake Bay Retriever, GSD, Polish Lowland Sheepdog, Sussex Spaniel, and Labrador.

93% Shetland sheepdog, 87% GSD, 64% puli.
Fittingly I've been looking for a Shetland to be Harvey's partner in crime.

This is funny, Here are my matches.

Pumi
Cannan Dog
Puli
Lab
Alaskan Eskimo Dog

Hey I got the Pumi too!

Belgian Malinois 75%
Belgian Sheepdog 75%
Belgian Tervuren 75%
Pumi 74%
Australian Cattle Dog 72%

The rest didn't make sense. Not sure how they gave me the Toy Fox Terrier and Rat Terrier ahead of a GSD since I specified I wanted to do Sch and did not want a small dog, or the Terv and PLS since I didn't want a dog with coat.
