Depending on your sign and astrological modality, it’s highly possible to find the perfect breed that matches your cosmic personality!

Did you know, that according to the American Kennel Club, there are about 200 wonderful dog breeds that are categorized into one of seven groups based on their personality, physical traits, and more?

Before adopting a new four-legged family member, it’s important to be informed of the personality and characteristics of the specific breed of dog you desire to care for. Matching zodiac signs with dog breeds is possible when considering the traits of each breed and which of the seven groups they belong to.

For instance, fire signs are usually active and high-energy zodiac signs that would pair nicely with lively breeds from the working and sporting groups. Meanwhile, the social, community-focused air signs would be best represented by the intelligent, pack-focused breeds from the herding and hunting groups.

However, typically hardworking earth signs would be better matched with dog breeds that are equally driven, such as the breeds from the working and terrier groups. Lastly, the easygoing, sensitive water signs will likely see a reflection of their personalities in the dog breeds that are part of the non-sporting and toy groups.

Scroll on down to see which dog breed personality type matches your sun sign and/or rising sign:
