Andromeda DavisDogs are man’s best friend–but not every dog breed is right for every person. These are the worst dog breeds for each sign of the Zodiac.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Aries needs a dog that can keep up with you. That’s why, although they are huge and gorgeous, Great Pyrenees are a big ol’ mismatch for your Zodiac sign. These gentle giants mostly like to hang out on the couch with their people.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Taurus is a stubborn soul, and a dog with an equally strong personality results in a major clash of wills. Beagles are adorable, but they are very independent. You’ll constantly be frustrated with your wayward pup.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Gemini isn’t necessarily an ideal dog owner. Having any kind of pet is a big commitment, and the massive, slobbery English Mastiff is a bigger responsibility than most dog breeds. The combo of high maintenance and low energy is a bad combo for this sign of the Zodiac.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Chow Chows are SO cute, with their thick coats and adorably wrinkled faces. But they’re not ideal family dogs and can be distant–even aggressive–with strangers. They require a lot of work and time to train and socialize.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
Leo needs a small, cute, energetic pup–you know, like a Pomeranian. A huge, laid-back dog like a Great Dane isn’t the best choice for Leo. Plus, when you take a Great Dane out in public, everybody will be looking at your dog and not you.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Dogs can be chaotic. If Virgo is going to get a pet dog, they’re best off with a Greyhound. On the flip side, a happy-go-lucky, sheds-everywhere Golden Retriever isn’t ideal. While these are great dogs, they may not be the best choice for Virgo.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
Libra likes things to be stable in their personal lives. A dog like a Siberian Husky–noted escape artists and super, duper loud howlers–would upend your schedule and create lots of problems that you’ll need to solve. Is it worth it? That’s up to you, but the stars say no.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
If Scorpio is going to get a dog, they’re naturally going to gravitate toward a tough, “cool” dog. It’s all about the image, right? A tiny Teacup Poodle is not at all the kind of pooch that Scorpio thinks is cool.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
Sagittarius makes a great owner for a spirited mutt. You know, the kind of dog that can play Frisbee in the park or go hiking while wearing an adorable backpack. A high-maintenance dog breed like an Afghan Hound or a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is the worst choice for you.
Capricorn (December 23-January 20)
If Capricorn gets a dog, a hyper and hard-to-train breed is the worst choice. Your natural desire for order will be constantly thwarted by a Border Collie. These smart, willful dogs will test your patience–but they sure are cute.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
When Aquarius gets a pet, they adopt and don’t shop. The world’s most expensive dog breeds are a terrible choice for this environmentally conscious Zodiac sign. The Tibetan Mastiff is one of the priciest, with a price tag of up to $10,000.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Let’s be clear, Pisces is more of a cat person. But if Pisces is going to get a dog, they’re going to choose a mellow, sweet puppy. While any dog can have a good or bad personality, Chihuahuas tend to be aggressive and, well, yappy. Not great for Pisces’ nerves.
