2. Pastoral pooches (German Shepherds, Collies, and Corgis): If you share your bed with a border Collie, you’ve likely never met a crowd you weren’t comfortable in, you classic extrovert, you.
I call BS on this one. I HATE people, and the only thing I hate more than people is a crowd of people. My GSD also hates people and crowds, and also has Asperger's and Tourettes.

I'm not sure why the AKC placed Akitas in the Working Dog class. I've had 4 in 40 years and nobody's ever figured what they're good for. They really, really hate to play fetch (watch the movie Hachi [though even there they used a Shiba as a stand in for the Akita  ]).
As watch dogs, that's exactly what they do...watch. They can bark, but don't. They observe. I suppose being observed by a large dog is enough, though.
They are stubborn. I guess that fits.

Neighbor had an Akita. it was blind. It was a damn good 'watch' dog.

Yeah, every GSD owner I know hates people and is happy their GSD hates people (and cats)(and deer)(and doorbell ringers). Although I would probably not accuse them of Asperger's.
If "pastoral pooches" are extroverts, that has to be Labradors, Retrievers, maybe Boxers.

I've had six beagles over the years, every one of them crazy as a drunk loon on Orange Barrel.

My wife brought home a Shitszu one morning, but I took it down to the vet and had it euthanized for pissing on my McCain/Palin sign. :

My might hunting dogs are laying on the couch asleep, and I'm in the recliner under a poncho liner watching a western, chewing shoal, and just got back from a run. That article might be pretty accurate.
