Let’s speak about on how to choose a dog typologically for you? We have created a dog list for your personality. It massively simplifies the answer on how to choose a dog breed for you. And we are completely serious. Because the dog breeds have their own stable character that may not fit to all people.

So, How to choose a dog breed?

Actually, we do not insist on choosing only purebred dog breeds as a pet. Dogs from the street or animal shelter have also their type and character that may like for some people. As far as you know, such dogs may have the same intellectual qualities as purebred dogs. And you can easily choose a dog if you like it, no matter what breed it is.

Attention! If you want to choose a dog or more than one dog, we insist, that you should adopt these dogs only from the same list as displayed. Please, try not to choose dogs from another lists, because they may conflict with you and between themselves. In this case training may not help or can be stressful.

Remember, you shoudn’t feel any compassion, fear or delight when you look at your dog. The only thing you should feel is a neutral respect. And when you feel it, be sure, there is your dog in front of you.

All information given here is only informative. We do not advice you and we do not insist that all people should have a pet. If you have a pet, you are liable for care and life of your pet. You are liable for your family and your own health and life.

A dog, as any other animal, is not a toy!

You should not play with a pet negatively or beat it after you choose a dog. That is why we ask people, who do not like or do not respect animals, to refrain from having a pet. Believe us, there are people who love animals, who would love to choose a dog and they may care for them properly. So, after reading this table and article you might have a clue on how to choose a dog for yourself and your family. This is a complex and interesting question that needs to be linked with human typology too.

You also saw that in some brackets next to dog breeds there is the word (typical) and (atypical). You can read more about this here. It is logical that a typical owner should choose a typical dog. Similarly, an atypical person should choose an atypical dog breed. Where there are no such words with brackets – we are not yet sure about the typicality or atypicality of this dog breed. But we have thus tried to improve this classification, although we do not guarantee its exceptional accuracy. In fact, this is a typological assessment and our goal is to create harmony in the relationship between the owner and his dog in advance.

Let us reiterate that the grouping of dog breeds above is not a classification of the dogs themselves, but merely a selection of dogs for a certain type of human thinking (for the type of potential owner of a dog or dogs). The classification of dogs can be found in our book “Nuances of the Typology of Innate Thinking.”
