The Best Dog For You to Get as a Pet, According to Your Zodiac Sign

This handsome albeit at times difficult breed is the perfect match to an Aquarius. These independent creatures love to be outdoors and with their tribe. And like Aquarius, Huskies are intelligent and need frequent stimulation and new challenges, otherwise they get bored and destructive. This noble breed will stick with the Aquarius through their more sullen periods, always providing comfort and humour.

These sensitive and loving creatures are a perfect match for a Pisces. While friendly, a Pisces enjoys spending quality time alone, just like the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. The Spaniel is a sensitive breed, favouring a select group of people, and makes a perfect companion because it's willing to go anywhere. If a Pisces wants some alone time away from other people, this dog will be right by their side, giving them all the love they could want.

Aries people know how to get stuff done. They are the epitome of "work hard, play hard," and they need a dog that can do it all. Enter the Labrador. This hard-working and intelligent breed is determined to accomplish tasks, but can also be playful and kind of a goof. Aries are passionate about their family, so it's no wonder that they would be matched with a dog that's known to be protective of the little ones and a great family dog.

Taurus is the salt of the earth. Loyal, thoughtful, and utterly devoted, Taurus needs a dog that can be equal parts protector, friend, and family. The German Shepherd makes a great partner to a Taurus, thanks in large part to their intelligence and willingness to stick by your side. A natural guard dog, this pup will be with you as your work on your tasks and give you all the love you could ask for. Both Taurus and German Shepherds are reliable creatures. By matching with this dog, a Taurus is in for the love of their life.

Being the sign of the twins, Gemini needs a dog that can play to both their fun and serious side. Don't let the bad reputation surrounding Pit Bulls turn you off, because these sweet and cuddly pups make great companions for Geminis. Speaking to the serious part of the Gemini, Pit Bulls are known for being strong protectors for their family and are incredibly intelligent and willing to be trained. Since Geminis often change their mind, they need a dog that can be their rock through those changes.

The Old English Sheepdog is a perfect match for the compassionate and tender-hearted Cancer. Often depicted as a babysitter or always at a child's side thanks in no small part to Peter Pan, Old English Sheepdogs are sweet, caring, empathetic, and playful. Considering that Cancers are known to want to help others and are very sensitive, having such a loving and thoughtful dog will help bring Cancers out of their occasional moodiness. Old English Sheepdogs are essentially the comfort blanket and companion that Cancers so desperately need.

Leos are not known to be lazy and relaxed. This spunky sign likes to move fast, is competitive, and is filled with passion. The Border Collie is the only dog that can keep up. This dog is energetic, social, and fiery, needing a lot of exercise. A great outdoor dog, considering how fiercely they protect and herd cattle, Border Collies are task-oriented and like to be challenged. Just like a Leo, they want accomplish their goals so they can relax at the end of the day. If a Leo is looking for an engaged and affectionate dog, look no further than a Border Collie.

Virgos are the ultimate problem solvers. Puzzles, difficult-to-work-around schedules, and tasks are no match for the Virgo. As such, the Dachshund is their perfect dog. These intelligent pups are great at figuring out tasks and being active. Devoted to their owners, these dogs feed into the Virgo's desire to keep their life organised. Dachshunds can be a little stubborn at first, so Virgos will appreciate the task of training them and will be overwhelmed by their affection once the Dachshund is ready to go.

Capricorns are distinguished, clever, stubborn, and intelligent, and their dog of choice should be the same. Poodles are easily one of the smartest breeds. They're able to be trained, assuming you get past the stubbornness, and are great family pets. They are faithful to this sign's needs and are always willing to stick by their side, even if the Capricorn is being a bit moody.
