Border Collie
(You scored 79% Loyal and 67% Independant!)
Border Collie: Originated in Scotland/England border areas, this breed is intelligent, determined and brave, this dog forms a close bond with its family and is also eager to work. If not given work to do, the Border Collie will become badly behaved. It needs ample exercise, and its origin as a sheepdog and cattle-herder means that it is only happy when given specific tasks on a regular basis. They can't sit still and they want you to be right out there doing their task with them. They are the leaders and motivators of the dog world.
The What Breed Of Dog Are You Test
So ok, I'm not a Pit Bull, but I know they get a bad rap because of stupid/bad owners, and I want to post this because I think everyone should read it and understand it, or pass it on if they want, whether they have a Pit Bull or not. Everyone needs to be aware of even little things that continue to bring these wonderful dogs down. Those who have them should realize that by breaking the code of conduct, they are furthering the demise of these wonderful dogs. Pit Bulls ARE NOT for everyone, and only the few people who truly understand dog behavior should have them. Those that do, need to be responsible for them:

I'd like to meet:
Other doggy friends!!! I love all other doggies, so if you are a dog, I would love to meet you and be friends! I even love puppies, and I'm very gentle with little dogs. I get along with everyone so well that my mom calls me Hunny Bunny, because I'm so sweet. I'm so nice, I have 18 times as many friends as her too. I think we know who the REAL "bitch" in the family is. I'm a K9 bitch but she has definitely earned her title as "Alpha Bitch" - don't tell her I said that though ;)
Music:

Movies:
Greatest movie of all time, Owd Bob! I also like Homeward Bound and Snow Dogs. Emma RULES!. Eight Below was also good, and my favorite movie dog to date was Petey the Pit Bull, who starred in The Little Rascals. Under any BSL law, he would be dead. Also, Petey was an intact male, something that's claimed to be extremely dangerous, even in many Pit Bull circles. Well, I used to live with an intact male, and not only was he not dangerous, he was a huge goon. Now, I don't recommend keeping them intact, simply for population and control reasons, but it just goes to show, Pit Bulls are not dangerous... HUMANS ARE.
