A Point of View on Spouses and Dogs
I'm a veterinarian...Cornell Class of 1965. It's been my observation that people select dog breeds with temperaments similar to their spouses.

My husband gravitates toward Labrador Retrievers. Yes, I'm solid and dependable.

I prefer Dobermans. My husband is solid and dependable with an edge that keeps me on my toes.

A female friend loves Bassets. Her husband is huggable and unflappable. He, on the other hand is partial to Jack Russell terriers...bright and animated like his little red headed wife!

I thought the owner of Rhodesian Ridgebacks and a poodle might find this observation entertaining.
