If you’re a Harry Potter fan, you probably already know what Hogwarts house you belong to. But have you ever wondered how your dog would be sorted? You're not alone –in fact, one shelter sorts dogs in Harry Potter houses to boost adoptions.
Each good boy or girl has unique traits, but a dog's overall personality is partially dictated by breed. Learning additional fun information like which breed is best for your zodiac sign or which Hogwarts houses breeds belong to can help you appreciate your furry BFF even more.
Is your pup a brave Gryffindor, a brainy Ravenclaw, a friendly Hufflepuff, or a cunning Slytherin? Only the Sorting Hat knows for sure, but each dog's breed provides some clues.
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.
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.
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.
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.
“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.
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.
