What kind of dog are you?

I'm a Saluki (sounds like a rice-burning motorcycle)
It said Origin from Iran. The Saluki and Sloughi have parallel histories and most likely date back to the same stem (family tree I suppose) in the ancient Middle East and a painting dated 3600 BC shows such dogs. Esteemed by Arab Sheiks and nomadic Bedouin, this breed was paired with hawks to hunt gazelles and other game. They were never sold but presented as gifts, which is how they reached Europe.
Personality: This elegant, if somewhat aloof breed is loyal, affectionate and trustworthy (you single ladies paying attention ??) and dispite limited interest in Europe it is now a well sought-after animal. It still retains strong hunting instincts and so care should be taken when taking it to the country side.

Doberman Pinscher
Personality: Needs careful handling even though its perfectly obedient when correctly trained. Constantly wary and suspicious of strangers, it is alert and aggressive with a remarkable stamina, all of which make it the wrong kind of dog to meet if you're a cat burglar.

MUNSTERLANDER (small)shesulsa said:
Origins
Germany. These dogs combine the best qualities of the setter and the spaniel. While on record as one of the newest pointing and retrieving gundogs the Large Munsterlander has been well established in its native Germany since the beginning of the 18th century. Then it was regarded as a German Long-haired Pointer. The Small Munsterlander is more recent than the large variety.
Personality
Loyal, affectionate and trustworthy these aminals easily adapt to the role of hunter or family companion. They are very energetic and need plenty of exercise.

Sarah - they *are* adorable! Now I want to get one.
And the Bouviers are great dogs - I have a breed that is somewhat similar to them, but much smaller. I met a woman with her Bouvier a little while ago - they are so pretty, and very calm.

Field Spaniel (very pretty dog, but I can't post picture)
"good sporting dog with equable temperament, adaptable, able to fit into family life or do fieldwork, helping people kill animals."
Hmmm...
Don't know about the "killing animals" part. Other wise, fairly close.
Peace,
