What Dog Breed Are You, According to Your Zodiac Sign?

If you're a fan of astrology and a dog lover, it's fun to imagine each zodiac sign as a dog breed. Just like the 12 signs of the zodiac, each breed embodies certain personality traits, and we've paired them up perfectly. I mean, the Siberian Husky is the ideal representation of a playful Sag, and can you get any more Taurus than a stubborn Basset Hound? We think not. See if the dog breed listed with your zodiac sign aligns with you. And since you both have the same energy, they might even be a great fit for your household.

Not sure what sign you are? Take a look at the sun sign date chart here to find your sign or the ones for your friends and family.

Doberman Pinchers are the epitome of the Aries dog breed. Dobies have a bold, brave, fearless, assertive, and up-for-anything personality. Like Aries, they're known for their imposing tough-guy exterior, but once you get to know them, you'll discover that they have a heart of gold underneath.

A Basset Hound is undoubtedly the Taurus of dog breeds. Like Taurus, they're low-energy dogs whose primary activity is sniffing around. They can be stubborn or hard-headed, but they're also patient, loyal, quiet, lovable, and charming. A Basset Hound likes nothing better than a long nap and a bowl of tasty food.

The Jack Russell Terrier is the Gemini of dog breeds. These spunky dogs are alert, lively, intelligent, inquisitive, and learn quickly, just like Geminis. Their bodies and minds never stop working, so Jack Russell Terriers can become bored quickly. Therefore, they're always on the go, looking for something new to get into.

It's no surprise that the Newfoundland is the Cancer of dog breeds. Dubbed the "nanny dog," they're gentle giants who are loving, sweet, and happiest when with their family. A Newfoundland is protective and affectionate, with a good-natured temperament, just like those with a Cancer sign. Plus, they're devoted and empathetic to kids.

Naturally, the Golden Retriever is the Leo of dog breeds. Their beautiful golden coat and the feathering on their neck give them a regal appearance, similar to the lion, which is the class Leo symbol. Like a Leo, a Golden Retriever loves to be the center of attention, which is easy for these charming pups. Both Leos and Goldens are also loving, outgoing, and affectionate people-pleasers who are playful and gentle with children.

The Bloodhound is the Virgo of dog breeds. Just like people with a Virgo sun sign, a Bloodhound is hardworking and stays on task. When following a scent, they get caught up and become single-minded in tracking what they're pursuing. Plus, a Bloodhound's use in search and rescue echoes Virgo's need to serve others.

The Poodle is the Libra of dog breeds. These dogs are very intelligent, social, and up for anything, which aligns perfectly with the Libra personality. They're also clever, extraverted, entertaining, and eager to please; poodles hate being alone and love human company. Plus, they love getting primped and groomed. That sounds very "Libra" to us!

The American Pit Bull is the Scorpio of dog breeds. Like the Scorpio sign, they're stubborn, tenacious, fearless, courageous, and ready to continue whatever they're doing, even when faced with adversity. Both pitties and Scorpios come across as self-assured and tough, but one look into their soulful eyes will clarify that they're anything but.

A Siberian Husky is the Sagittarius of dog breeds. Sociability is in their blood, and both huskies and Sags thrive on action and adventure. A Siberian Husky is energetic, fun-loving, playful, mischievous, and communicative. These frisky pups will never hesitate to let you know what's on their minds.

The Border Collie is the Capricorn of dog breeds. Like a Capricorn, Border Collies are hardworking dogs with a good work ethic. They have endless energy, are incredibly smart, loyal, and willing to take on responsibilities. Plus, they like everything to be in its place, whether that's toys or sheep.

The Basenji is the Aquarius of dog breeds. Like Aquarius, they are independent thinkers who chart their own course, believe unapologetically in themselves, and think outside the box. They're reserved, quiet, stubborn, and not big on people-pleasing. And talk about originality; Basenji don't bark, they yodel!

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is the Pisces of dog breeds. They are lap dogs who, like Pisces, are affectionate, smart, playful, gracious, and sympathetic. These pups have a sweet temperament and are often referred to as comforters because they can sense feelings and often work with kids, older people, or others with special needs.

This list could give you a good idea of which breed's energy matches yours when looking for a new dog. Of course, if you already have a pup and know their date of birth, you can compare their sun sign with yours just as you would with a friend or lover to see just how compatible you are!
