What your dog breed says about you
Words: Mel ButtleProducer: Bianca Mastroianni
What does you dog choice say about you?  
Comedian Mel Buttle gives her take on you and your pooch.
Rescue Greyhound
You had a stint as a vegetarian in your 20s, and while you’re back on meat, you still won’t eat bacon. You’re constantly looking into a tree change.
Golden Labrador
You’re basic, I’m sorry but you’re the potato salad at the barbecue.
Chocolate Labrador
The Labrador of hipsters in their late 30s – and the lab of choice for people who have a bit of coin and a Skoda wagon.
Black Labrador
You love camping, you people are always away camping, the dog often has an ironic name like Nigel or Beverley.
Cavoodle
The result of a couple power struggle. One wanted a Maltese, one wanted a Cocker Spaniel. The Cavoodle was the only dog acceptable to both parties.
Beagle
Only neat freaks and highly organised people own beagles. They must always have treats in their pockets to win back their dog’s attention.
Jack Russell
Owners are on the go, go, go. Their backyards are covered in tennis balls. Thought they were getting a small dog, instead they got a 7kg hurricane.
Owners are in training for a triathlon, and they love showing off that their dog can roll over and bark on command in public.
Border Collie
French Bulldog
Frenchie owners have a baby wardrobe with their dog’s outfits in it. The dog of corporate power couples, lawyers and marketing execs, all of them love a Frenchie.
Staffy
The elite dog of outer suburbs, a blue staffy is serious bogan cred. Staffy owners have a habit of yelling out “he’s friendly” as their dog barrels up to you. Will have a tattoo of their dog's name.
Great Dane
Owners are sick of all the questions, they’ve got the answers prepped. “65kg, he’s six, about four cups a day”. Mostly quiet people who now have to talk to strangers about their dog.
Rescue dog
Owners will let you know their dog is a rescue straight away, they’ve had to train this dog to not be afraid of curtains, so you’re going to hear about Coco’s journey.
German Shepherd
Owners have at least three kids and a husband who works away. Hence, why Rex was purchased.
Bulldog
The creative dog choice for tradies, bulldog owners go one of two ways with names - they’re either called Diesel or Coach or a human name like Lionel or Betty.
Golden Retrievers
The official dog of Brighton. Golden Retriever owners spend their life apologising for their dog drooling on your pants.
Husky
Owners will not take their sunglasses off to speak to you, they are cyclists and are kind of impressed when their dog trots in the dog park and all the small dogs run away scared.
Dachshund
Owners are cardigan wearers, they’re quirky and so is their dog. Ad agencies will have one of these dogs under the front counter if you look closely.
