Rooster and Dog Compatibility
The Rooster and Dog have trouble communicating with one another. The Rooster insists on being in control of its immediate surroundings, including the people who happen to fall within that scope. The Dog has a similarly strong will based in high principles. Sometimes, however, the Dog thinks it is being upright when really it is being merely dogmatic. The Rooster has quite a keen mind and will see right through the Dog’s attempts at maintaining its backbone; this is when arguments may occur between these two signs.
As a Rooster, you think very logically. You like to have your life very organized, with everything neat and tidy. You love routine and you hate deviating from your prearranged schedule. Your are very intelligent, and you do well with a mate who is smart and loves routine as much as you do.
A Dog makes a pretty good mate for you. Dogs are their happiest when they stay around home base and have a reliable routine to depend on. A Dog will be loyal and faithful, and will want to guard you from anything that could hurt you. Your Dog will love your routines and schedules because she will know that she can depend on you. Even though Dogs are faithful and loyal, don’t expect her to fade into the background. If you cross her, and push her too far, you will see that she can be just as harsh with words as you can.
A match between a Rooster and a Dog is usually a happy one. The two of you both like to organize your lives in similar ways, which means that it will usually be peaceful in your home. Problems will occur, however, due to your blunt and honest nature. Often, you don’t mean to offend, but your words are harsh and deeply wound your Dog. She will respond with harsh words of her own, and the two of you can end up barking and crowing back and forth for quite a while. Neither one of you wants to give in and apologize first.
As long as you both remember to value compromise, this will be a strong and stable relationship. As a Rooster, you do love to strut and preen, often in fine clothes, and the Dog, who doesn’t care for material things or a lot of attention, may find this unnecessary. She needs to understand that it is in your nature to take pride in your appearance, and she should appreciate that you do not blow your finances on clothing. Don’t be too quick to point out what you consider to be the Dog’s faults, or the two of you will be battling it out all night. Try to remember that on the whole you are very satisfied and loving with each other.

As lovers these two have rather different interests: The Rooster is concerned with appearances and wants to keep the house clean and in good order in case friends drop by; this sign also focuses a lot of attention on its mate’s physical appearance and may nag the Dog to tuck in its shirttails or polish its shoes. The Dog isn’t as interested in this pretense; the Dog, possessing lots of energy, is more interested in activity. However, both of these signs make very loyal partners when in love, and the Dog has great diplomatic skills. These two may be able to smooth over any rough patches, especially if they are emotionally intimate.
