Science If Chiefsplanet members were dogs... - Page 9

**Rain Man** · 02:28 PM

I'm closing in on a deadline today, which means that I'm self-sabotaging by monkeying around with something. So I developed a dog simulator to show you what kind of breed you'd be if you were born a dog.

I went to the American Kennel Club site and pulled down their list of breeds, and created a little random selector. If you want to know your breed, post in the thread and I'll give you the breakdown. You can then look them up on the AKC site here: http://www.akc.org/breeds/complete_breed_list.cfm.

However, we're not all purebreds, so most of us will be a mix of breeds. Therefore, I set my selector up to give people a 25% chance of being a purebred. If not, you have a 50 percent chance of being 50% one breed and 50% some other mix, which is itself a 50 percent chance of being one breed and 50% some other mix. The maximum is an eight-breed mix and I stop there.

I assumed the registered breeds are most common and made them 97 percent of the probability. I don't have population data on how common each breed is, so all of those breeds are equally likely. Similarly, for the unregistered/rare breeds, I made them all equally likely, and they collectively will represent 3 percent of breeds.

When I post your results, it'll have a number followed by the breed. The number is the percent you have in you, so if you have multiple breeds they should all add up to 100. If a breed appears twice, add them up. (I don't pull a breed from the algorithm once it's been selected so it's possible, albeit unlikely, that it can show up more than once.)

Ready? Post if you want to be a dog and I'll give you your results.

I'll start. Here's what I am.

I'm a mutt, sort of:

50 Silky Terrier
12.5 Flat-Coated Retriever
12.5 Swedish Vallhund
12.5 Saluki
12.5 Cane Corso

So I'm half this guy....

and 1/8th each of these. (For some reason the AKC didn't have a Cane Corso drawing.) That probably means I'm a medium-small dog with moderately long hair and a healthy snout.

I'll post the numbers, but not pictures. You can pull them off the AKC site for most dogs.

If Chiefsplanet members were dogs?

The type of dog would be immaterial, because nothing would ever get posted, because everyone'd be sitting around, licking their own balls.

If Dante Hall was a dog. There you go.

I'm not going to waste time reading through this thread, so I'll just post what I have to say, with the near certainty that I am not the first to say it.

We're (most of us) men.

Men are dogs.

I want to be a dog.

Except Miles Davis. He was too much of a cool cat to be a dog

I'd be Canis Majoris.

well?

I already know what kind of dog I would be. I'd be the kind that lies on the porch watching the world go by while barking at the occasional threat....at least for a moment.

**alnorth** · 01-12-2011, 10:56 PM

Have we seen the noble bloodhound make an appearance yet? Thats once of my favorite breeds, though I doubt I want one.

I have never heard of this dog breed before, but it's nice looking.

I mean, I'd get you a new one, but it'd have to be one that's smart enough to know what kind of dog I REALLY am

50 Tibetan Mastiff
25 Shetland Sheepdog
12.5 Wire Fox Terrier
12.5 Belgian Tervuren

Is an unusually furry mastiff big enough for you?

100 Airedale Terrier

I wouldn't have picked you as a purebred.
