Welcome to the Canis Matcher! It's the stellar Matrimonial Services Bureau. I really love my job.

My customer originally from Labrador just doesn't get the dating thing. He's now on the phone, and I have to take this call. He wants me to set up a date for him. This is his profile picture. He got a bit formal with the bowtie, what can I say, he's clueless!

Our policy is not a "One Size Fits All." This very same customer once tried the Match-Light site, but he could not navigate it adeptly. He says too many hook-ups, break-ups, and that awful thing known as ghosting do not sit too well with him. He is courteous to the core. Table for Can-Nine dating service did not float his boat either. He likes the old-fashioned approach; woof-of-mouth! We at Canis Matcher, go the extra mile to do this.

As President and CEO of the company, this is my tagline.

"I've been with the same guy for light years, Do the math in dog years now!"

Anyhow, he is here for our services.

"Have you loved like a German Shepherd? I know all about being one. Loyal and protective, I will not refuse to bite the world if there was a slightest threat to my family."

This is also the policy of Canis-Matcher. Loyalty!

Now, he wants me to prepare a quick cheatsheet for him on doggie personas. One caveat, I have bitten a good number of good people, loyalty over judgment, I say. When it comes to family, better to be safe than sorry. Customers like my dogged pursuit of their interests.

The first single gal in our company list loves like a retriever, a complete contrast to me. She wears her heart on her sleeve, and she will fetch and please anything you throw. However, she believes everyone and everything. She has tired of her trusting approach, and is approaching this dating scene with trepidation. I watch out for landmines in her path and steer her to safer pastures.

I look at the profiles of my other clients. There are some real possibilities.

"She is a happy gal, and she will splash sunlight all over your world.She’s the beagle. Rest assured, even in your most crabby moments, she will squeeze out a smile."

I can hear him scratching the pen on the writing pad, as I scroll down my friend profiles.

"This one's a lot like you; laidback!" She gives space to do what one likes. Friendly to all, she loves like a Labrador. "There's a good fit, you both are like-minded. However, if you're looking for opposites, let's move on."

The Italian greyhound is like a red-hot Latina. She comes with the zest for life and a sense of la dolce vita. The men in her pool can pursue gals in a racy manner, she likes that. However, racing off at 45 miles an hour is the reason why she's looking at dating outside her pool. Most of them are in for the hunt. "She may appreciate your stable quality."

"Can you love the strong-willed person any less even though she comes off a bit into herself and not you? " The Chow-Chow love is not exactly what most want if looking for adoration. "..but, if you love her, it's because she is just who she is." High maintenance!

"Did I mention the guy who fell in love with the fashionista?"

It was puppy love for him the instant he clapped eyes on her at the busy Champs-Elysées. All manicured and groomed, she looked at his wagging tail and salivating mouth with icy hauteur.

“Mongrel,” she sniffed with her nose high. "No provenance, either," she exclaimed, walking away from his ardor.

"Now, you don't be put off by her snobbery."

On her way out, the poodle ever so discreetly dropped a fine, perfumed, lace handkerchief.

"I had to bring this to the clumsy oaf's attention, and that was how the lady got her tramp."

"If you love an independent gal, the Akita is the one for you. If you seek the warm-fuzzies, the touchie-feelies, look elsewhere. If you celebrate individuality like I do, she's the one for you."

After all, it's better not to be too clingy like the Bichon-frisé and have attachment issues to one person.

"I do like her resilient, pleasant, and great personality."

The guy from Mexico surely has a Napoleon complex. He overcompensates for his size with assertiveness. Yet, it’s hard to take the chihuahua seriously. My quiet amiga Josefina is looking for less yipping, yapping, and barking. "Should I let her know?"

Strong and silent, the Basenji can fill someone's life. From Africa, she yodels like she’s from the Alps.

"However, one has to spend sometime understanding what she truly wants."

I wish she spoke more and yodeled less.

By Edvinas Bruzas on Unsplash

It’s not silly to wonder if the alpine St.Bernard may out-yodel the Basenji. Not to burst a bubble, let’s just say this massive dame is better at other things than music. She’s the best rescuer of lost and stranded souls in the high, snowy mountain. "Big Mama is priceless!"

Collie loves the herd; from grandparents to the smallest infant in the house, she will always be the family kid. She will bring much joy and love to all." You may have to share the love."

Loyal love like ours will not shirk from protecting others despite fires, floods, or calamities. That is why our human friends hold us in high esteem. The dogged persistence makes it easy to recognize the mother lode of love in its purest, most valuable form.

Here at Canis Matcher, we follow the safe distancing guidelines. There is no social distancing while getting to know potential mates. We seek to provide complete engagement via virtual platforms before couples decide to take the next step.

"That's all the profile heads-up I can provide to you for now. When more single-ready-to-mingle folks initate accounts, I'll alert you. You do have the notifications enabled, right? Until then, I'll keep looking for the right fit!"
