About My Puppy Pair
Our Mission
At My Puppy Pair, we believe that finding the right dog breed is one of the most important decisions in creating a happy, lifelong bond between humans and their canine companions. Our mission is to revolutionize the way people discover their perfect dog breed match through scientifically-backed personality analysis and comprehensive breed insights.
What Makes Us Different
Science-Based Matching
We use the renowned Big Five Personality Model (OCEAN) - the same framework used in psychological research - to understand your personality and match it with compatible dog breeds. This isn't guesswork; it's personality science applied to pet selection.
Comprehensive Breed Database
Our extensive database covers over 150 dog breeds, each with detailed profiles including:
- Temperament and personality traits
- Exercise and activity requirements
- Grooming and care needs
- Training characteristics
- Living space requirements
- Family compatibility factors
Personalized Recommendations
Every recommendation is tailored to your unique personality profile, lifestyle, and preferences. We don't just tell you what breeds might work - we explain why they're compatible with who you are.
Our Story
The idea for My Puppy Pair was born from a simple observation: personalities drive compatibility. We realized that while people spend considerable time researching cars, phones, and homes, the selection of a lifelong canine companion often happens on impulse or based on appearance alone.
We set out to change this by creating a platform that:
- Helps prospective dog owners understand their own needs and preferences
- Provides honest, detailed information about breed characteristics
- Makes scientific personality matching accessible and fun
- Supports better decision-making for both first-time and experienced dog owners
Our Approach
The OCEAN Personality Model
Our assessment is based on the Big Five personality traits:
- Openness: How open you are to new experiences and variety
- Conscientiousness: Your level of organization and responsibility
- Extraversion: How outgoing and social you are
- Agreeableness: Your tendency to be cooperative and trusting
- Neuroticism: How you handle stress and emotional stability
Each trait correlates with specific dog characteristics, helping us identify breeds that complement your natural temperament.
Evidence-Based Breed Profiles
Our breed information comes from:
- American Kennel Club breed standards
- Veterinary behaviorist research
- Breed-specific studies and surveys
- Input from professional dog trainers and behaviorists
- Historical breed development and purpose analysis
Our Values
Honesty First
We provide realistic, unbiased information about breed characteristics - including potential challenges. Our goal is informed decisions, not quick adoptions.
Accessibility for All
Whether you're a first-time dog owner or an experienced handler, our platform is designed to provide valuable insights for everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is your matching system?
Our personality-based matching system is built on established psychological research, but we always recommend meeting dogs in person and considering your specific circumstances. We provide compatibility insights, not guarantees.
Do you work with shelters and rescues?
While we don't currently have direct partnerships, our breed information helps people understand shelter dogs better. Many mixed breeds exhibit traits of their primary breed components.
Is the service free?
Yes! Our personality quiz and breed matching service is completely free. We may feature affiliate links to helpful products, but this never affects our recommendations.
Can I use this for mixed breed dogs?
Our system focuses on purebreds, but the personality insights can help you understand mixed breeds by looking at their dominant breed characteristics.
