A popular theory has been circulating online: the type of dog you love might indicate the kind of partner you’re drawn to.

For instance, the original poster of this discussion has a large Golden Retriever, and her husband happens to be tall, strong, and gentle. Meanwhile, her neighbor owns a French Bulldog, and her husband is a bit on the shorter and stockier side, but he’s incredibly friendly and often a little shy.

At first, the idea that “your dog determines your partner” might sound absurd, but when you think about it, it actually makes some sense:

Those who own Samoyeds tend to like cheerful, sunshine-filled "himbo" types.

Those who have Bichon Frisés prefer guys who are neat and well-groomed.

Husky owners are drawn to humorous and playful men.

Border Collie lovers admire intelligence and wit.

People with Toy Poodles (Teddy) like lively, sociable, and charming guys.

Golden Retriever owners seek a reliable, caring, and protective partner.

Some people have even said, “Ever since I learned about this theory, I can’t help but imagine what someone’s partner might be like just based on the dog they own!”
