Poor Dr. Stanely Coren. People either hang on his every word, or they dismiss him.
In his book, Why We Love the Dogs We Do, Coren says that choosing a breed is like choosing a spouse, and that we’d better understand our own personality before making a long term decision. We can’t really argue with that.
Coren goes on to say that Type A personalities (highly competitive, stressed, driven and ambitious) do best when they have a “Type B” breed. We’ll get to you Type B people later, but for now, if you are a Type A person, Dr. Coren says you should consider these breeds: Basset Hound, Bloodhound, Boston Terrier, Bulldog, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Clumber Spaniel, French Bulldog, Great Dane, Great Pyrenees, Irish Wolfhound, Newfoundland, Pekingese, Pomeranian, Pug and Saint Bernard.
Do you agree?
