Random Dog Breeds Would Be Sorted Into Which Hogwarts Houses (16 items)

• 

  (#1) Border Collie

  • Canis lupus familiaris

  Border Collies were bred for intelligence, so it's no surprise they fit right into Ravenclaw. They love to learn and take on new tasks, they’re problem solvers, and they need a lot of physical and mental activity. These pups often master new skills on their own, too.
• 

  (#2) German Shepherd Dog

  A natural protector, the German Shepherd has made a name for itself as a police and military dog. It's highly intelligent and adaptable, extremely courageous, and always eager to use both its brains and athleticism. From chasing down criminals to leading the blind, German Shepherds take their jobs seriously, just like any Gryffindor would.
• 

  (#3) Golden Retriever

  “Those patient Hufflepuffs are true, and unafraid of toil.” It’s like J.K Rowling wrote these verses with Golden Retrievers in mind. These well-mannered and lovable dogs are friendly, energetic, and eager to please.
• 

  (#4) Welsh Corgi

  There are two kinds of Welsh Corgis: Pembroke and Cardigan. But regardless of the breed, they both share a lot of traits that prove they belong in Hufflepuff. Corgis are outgoing dogs who love people and are happiest when at home, surrounded by their family.
• 

  (#5) Tibetan Mastiff

  Tibetan Mastiffs aren't just fluffy – they're also independent guardians who won’t always look to their owners for guidance. If a Tibetan Mastiff believes it's right, it won't budge.

  That determined streak sure sounds like a Gryffindor trait. Harry, Ron, and Hermione don’t care much about rules when it comes to saving the day.
• 

  (#6) Chihuahua

  • Canis familiaris

  Don’t be fooled by their size – Chihuahuas aren't afraid to assert their dominance. Proud and adventurous, they are often hard to train and can manifest aggression towards other dogs and even humans. If they aren't given the proper guidance, Chihuahuas can become quite difficult. They fit in perfectly at Slytherin.
• 

  (#7) Poodle

  Wit and intelligence define the Ravenclaw house and also happen to be the two traits Poodles are most known for. They are among the smartest dog breeds, and are eager to please as well. Just like true Ravenclaws, Poodles value learning.
• 

  (#8) Jack Russell Terrier

  Jack Russell Terriers are charming and affectionate, but they can also be a handful. These dogs like to think for themselves, so owners need a lot of patience to properly train them. That stubbornness makes them true Gryffindors – though, to be fair, these little dogs are also loyal and fearless.
• 

  (#9) Beagle

  The adorable Beagle is one of the friendliest hounds around. In fact, the breed was developed to hunt in packs, so you know this pup is loyal. Beagles are also tolerant and calm, gentle and sociable, brave and happy – Hufflepuffs for sure.
• 

  (#10) Siberian Husky

  This is not a breed for everyone. Huskies are adventurous, exuberant, and intelligent. However, they are not eager to please and can be hard to train. On top of that, they’re amazing escape artists who are known to wander away from home whenever they sense an opening. Perhaps they’re trying to find other Slytherin buddies to bond with.
• 

  (#11) Papillon

  Like Ravenclaws, Papillons learn things quickly and are often at the top of their class when it comes to training. One of the most decorated toy breed in obedience competitions, Papillons have a strong desire to prove their talents and succeed.
• 

  (#12) Dobermann

  Dobermans are highly sensitive, but also alert and intelligent. With proper training and stimulation, they become devoted to their owners. However, just like true Ravenclaws, Dobermans need plenty of mental challenges to prevent them from becoming bored.
• 

  (#13) Dalmatian

  Like true Gryffindors, Dalmatians do best when surrounded by loved ones and given lots of stimulation. Remember how miserable Harry was when he had to return to the Dursleys' house every summer?

  Not only that, but Dalmatians are also independent thinkers who relish showing off their talents, just like a certain curly-haired witch Harry Potter fans know and love.
• 

  (#14) Yorkshire Terrier

  Yorkshire Terriers may be small, but they have big personalities. They’re feisty companions who like to be pampered and can react poorly when left alone. Yorkies can also be aggressive toward strange dogs and don’t play well with toddlers or small children. That standoffish attitude marks them for Slytherin.
• 

  (#15) Shih Tzu

  Loyal and affectionate, Shih Tzus make perfect companions for people looking for sweet and playful furry friends. They’re lap dogs, very trusting and good in obedience classes. In other words, they're total Hufflepuffs.
• 

  (#16) Pit bull

  Pitt Bulls are often unfairly maligned for being violent, much like Slytherins. And yet, they make great companions for those who put time into training and socializing their dogs. They are loyal to their families and ready to defend them to death if needed. Powerful and strong-minded, Pitt Bulls are also fast to learn commands and intelligent.
