Canine Behavior Index Type - What is your dog? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Pixie Girl · 01-25-2011, 10:18 AM

Pixie is a Diplomet
Your dog is an Organised, Gamma and Medium Activity type which we call the Diplomat. The Diplomat is a task focused, submissive character employing passive, medium energy techniques. It strives to keep order in a small but meaningful area and do the leader's bidding in a passive, sometimes underhanded manner. The combination of Submissive (Gamma or G) and Medium (M) energy factors make the Diplomat a soft, loving, easy care character.

lil louis · 01-25-2011, 06:37 PM

Louis is an investigator!
Your dog is an Spontaneous, Gamma and High Activity type which we call the Investigator. The Investigator is a loveable, submissive, funny, even silly character that is happiest when obeying its leader or involved in freeform activity. The Investigator makes a great pet for active people. They are High (H) energy dogs that need exercise and love regular walks.

cowgirlc · 01-25-2011, 06:48 PM

This is my Gizmo dead on the money, just wants to sprawl out at my feet and sleep, except for those sudden burst of energy where he will just take off running through the house like a bat out of ''you know where''. you have to just stand still and watch him fly or get run over by this speeding ball of fur....lol

SGM Companion

Your dog is a Spontaneous, Gamma and Medium Activity type which we call the Companion. The Companion has the softest, most charming character for a family pet. They are funny, silly, laid back, subservient and obedient. It is rarely serious, is everyone's friend and its favourite pastime is to 'ride' the couch. The most unobjectionable combination of traits. Do not expect it to be a strong watch dog, athlete, or seem especially clever.

Brooklynn's a defender

OBH - Defender

Your dog is an Organized, Alpha and High Activity type which we call the Defender. The Defender's social position is ambiguous due its Beta (B) nature and it may appear to be a leader or a follower at various times. Defenders are flexible about social structure but their Organised (O) factor means that environmental order and clear rules are preferred. In the 'original wolf pack' Defenders could easily fill any positions vacated due to illness or accident.

Lucy is an Investigator! Pretty cool seeing how that is what I do for a living.

FlDebra · 01-25-2011, 07:31 PM

Ben turned out to be a Rebel -- I thought that was a pretty good description of him. He is his own dog -- that is for sure. I am never presumptuous enough to think I am really the Alpha when Ben is around.

I am probably telling on myself by admitting he is a Rebel -- I have just never really been in charge of Ben. The others, sure, but not Ben. I love him, but he marches to a different drummer.

CouversMom · 01-25-2011, 08:04 PM

Couver is an Adventurer:

Your dog is a Spontaneous, Beta and High Activity type which we call the Adventurer. The Adventurer regularly challenges the social order, routine and environmental orderliness. It constantly searches for new social and environmental standards. It is highly competitive with plenty of energy and a playful spirit but not great at group activities.

I somewhat agree with this, but not the last part. He loves being in groups of other dogs, but not people.

Khloe is also an Adventurer.

It definitely describes her perfectly.

joeys mom · 01-25-2011, 08:16 PM

Oh,, my Joey is a deputy!!!! Pinpointed him perfectly!!!

Woohoo! Glad to know my boys are in good company with George as a Defender.

Maggie is an Adventurer

Buster is a Companion

That pretty much describes both of them.
