Perfect match
The Dog fits well with the Tiger and the Horse . The Tiger, the Horse and the Dog all fall under the group of ‘protectors’ in the zodiac. These people are capable of selfless commitment to the world.
The Tiger is boisterous, but the Dog is a bit quieter and is able to control the Tiger. The Horse is a person who, without thinking, throws himself into new challenges. The Dog helps the Horse first to ‘just put it in place’. The Dog will also go well with the Tiger and the Horse.
Don’t do better?
The Dragon. The Dog does not fit well with the Dragon. The Dragon has new ideas every time that are often rejected by the sober and critical Dog. As a result, they regularly have conflicts and difficulty in communicating.
