Are you a dog person, or a cat person?

Interesting article here (thanks to kinzel for the pointer) -- and a Whole New field of scientific study, anthrozoology.

So, which are you -- cat person or dog person?

Dog person. Although I wouldn't be surprised to find some people claiming I have some cat person in me. But I'm allergic to cats - that does bias the answer.

I grew up with Chihuahuas - I know just how hard it is to get them to be the family dog rather than (usually) Mom's dog. They're very territorial, which is why, as much as I love them, I'll never own one. I like to entertain too much - we'd drive each other nuts!

I went looking for non-territorial toy breeds - this led me to the Havanese, which led me to Shih Tzus, which I own. (Many people will claim Shih Tzus are as close as you can get to a cat while owning a dog.) We get along very well.

I am not an extrovert, although that might surprise people. I do like to entertain, it just takes a lot of energy that I need to recoup the next day.

The most cat like dog I have ever known was a borsoi, amazing in one so large.
