Capricorn Dogs are a strange breed. As pups they appear wizened and old, yet as age gradually creeps up on them they steadily become more frisky and youthful. However, irrespective of age it's not difficult to spot a Capricorn...just look out for downcast, sad eyes and a hangdog expression. Capricorns frequently succumb to black dog depressions that sweep over them because they just know that it's a dog's life. Even in their happiest moods there's a faint aura of melancholy and seriousness surrounding these mutts.
Racked themselves by feelings of inferiority, the Capricorn will intuitively be able to sniff out the social standing of all your visitors, dutifully paying attention to the TV celebrity and insidiously ignoring the lowly artisan. Should a show judge visit your home, you'll probably marvel as your stuffy, snobbish Capricorn transforms into a playful yet dignified friend. The Capricorn instinctively knows that the judge may be able to help him in the future.
So why on earth would anyone want to own one of these cold, conservative creatures? Well for a start they are disciplined and hardworking. So if you yearn to win lots and lots of prizes in Obedience or Working Trials, then Capricorn is the dog for you. In fact winning a prize is one of the few things that will raise the flicker of a smile in a Capricorn.
