Even if a Taurus may not agree with this pick, they are further proving my point. Beagles are one of the most stubborn, but cute, dogs to exist. Once they set their mind on something, they will not be easily stopped. Basically, don’t fight with a Taurus and don’t discipline a Beagle. 

Gemini: Corgi  (Gentle

German Shepherds have been the face of the K-9 dog unit on the line of duty for years. These dogs will jump out of a window because they give their all while they are working. Similar to  German Shepherds, Capricorns are eager to please and work excessively hard in the workforce. They are often labeled “workaholics”.  

Aquarius: Shiba Inu (Independent)

Of all dog breeds, the Shiba Inu is definitely one of the most independent. Shiba Inus are independent and would like to keep it that way.  An Aquarius rarely seeks help because they fear losing their freedom. Shiba Inus and an Aquarius would much rather keep to themselves because it is what they know best. 

Pisces: Pug (Affectionate

Just like a Pug, Pisces love affection. Pugs will give you endless kisses until they tucker themselves out ending in a cuddly nap. They are the best napping buddy and companion. Get yourself a Pisces for excessive love and affection, but be sure to appreciate them back!
