Choose Your Partner Like You Choose Your Dog, Experts Say

If you're looking for love and always go for the wrong men but you have the perfect pet, then this relationship advice is for you.

I know what you're thinking.  You're probably thinking that I'm going to suggest that you look for a guy who loves to hump your leg, pees on everything to mark his territory and maybe has an obsession with eating your shoes. Well, I guess that's a good approach if that's the sort of think you're into, but that's not what a relationship expert was thinking when she came up with this radical new approach to finding the one.

Author and relationship coach Dr Annie Kaszina Ph.D, says there are parallels between picking the perfect partner and the way you choose your dog.

Think about it, it makes sense. When I met my husband, his tail always wagged with excitement when he saw me, there were plenty of kisses and he was always up for playtime.

While those things are important, the key is to apply these principles and finally find your perfect match:

1. Temperament is king

2. Check the pedigree

3. Beware of yapiness

4. Good manners

5. Over exuberance

6. Good behavior

7. Docility

8. Playfulness

9. Beware of rogue breeders

10. Leave the paperwork at home
