Twelve quick questions about your weekends, your friends and your ideal home decide which of ten popular dog breeds matches your personality, from the loyal Golden Retriever to the fearless Jack Russell.

Each answer nudges you towards two breeds, and the one you match most often becomes your result. There are no wrong answers, so go with your gut. It's a bit of fun rather than a scientific test.
