Mostly As: The Pioneer Woman
An excellent hostess, your dog is welcoming in the warmest way. Down home and rustic without a lot of flair, your dog keeps it simple. She knows how to make people feel wanted and loved in her home and never turns an extra guest away. She’s always ready with a wagging tail and willing to share her last treat with a friend.
Mostly Bs: Gordon Ramsay
Your dog may be a little rough on the edges, but he knows how to throw a party to remember. He knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to demand perfection. Confident, he knows who he is and doesn’t need to play fetch to earn your love. He can have an attitude at times and comes off a little strong, but deep down he has a heart of gold. His bark is definitely worse than his bite.

Guests never know what to expect from your dog’s holiday party, but they know it will be unique and amazing. Always ready for an adventure, your dog is ready to try the newest food or hunt down a rare, lost bone. A willing companion, he will keep you on your toes and push you to try new things. Life is a journey, and your dog is leading the way.
Mostly Ds: Martha Stewart
The quintessential hostess, your dog lives to entertain. Elegant and classy, your dog has the perfect response (and outfit) for every occasion. She keeps her toys neat and organized and, while she likes to have fun, she never gets too out of control. Sure, she’s done some time in the doghouse, but you love her anyway.
