what dog breed best resembles a leo?|||Leonburger





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonberger|||Shih tzu|||Ok, so you're a leo, and you will choose a breed based on that....so freaking retarded





Edit: How am I a troll? Because I pointed out the fact that you're asking a retarded question based on a retarded assumption, which is that dogs have signs? Yeah, my response must have been like a slap in the face. You just want to get a dog who you think is a lot like you in characteristics because you think that will make you bond and get along better with him/her....you think that will make you feel like you have a little "leo club" going on. Yup...retarded from every angle. Aren't you amazed that I could read your mind over the internet?





Also, you have no right to call users like Bri "loon" or whatever just because they didn't get your retarded question or didn't answer it the way you wished. Despite the fact that you're retarded, s/he still took the time to try helping you out. Learn to be appreciative.





"level 1 troll" Is that supposed to hurt me? Because I don't spend my hours on this site to jump levels, I should feel somewhat degraded, insulted and inferior? What a retard...literally.|||Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever

Let's see, so Leos are proud, enthusiastic, faithful, charismatic, playful, and loving. You know, I'd probably go with a gun dog, particularly a retriever or setter. They tend to be very sweet, playful, eager to please, so on and so forth. (I wouldn't really go with a gun dog like a pointer because they tend to be more independent, which doesn't seem to fit that Leo characteristic of desperately needing approval.) Perhaps a Gordon Setter.. they're enthusiastic, loving, confident, capable, sensitive and intensely loyal. They thrive in attentive families, are eager to learn, and tend to be boisterous and playful. However, they're also very protective compared to other setters and will be wary of strangers and defend if the need arises. Here's more info about Gordon Setters:

If you meant physically, then I'd go with the "Chinese Lion Dog," the Chow:

Or an apricot Mastiff, if you can ignore the lack of mane and the black facial mask (I even find that my Mastiffs tend to have the swaying gait of a lion):
