How the quiz matches you
Each breed is rated 1–5 on 17 traits, including energy, shedding, grooming, affection, off-leash reliability, apartment fit, cold tolerance, kids, other pets, time alone, training, protectiveness, barking and drool, and has an estimated yearly cost and lifespan. Your answers rule out poor fits (an allergy in the home rules out heavy shedders), and the breeds with the fewest mismatches rise to the top.
