A neutral pair: a bond shaped by effort
Chinese astrology sees no special harmony or conflict between the Dog and the Pig. That means the direction of the relationship depends largely on the effort and communication of the two people. Shared interests and mutual respect strengthen this bond; coming to it without preconceptions is the key to this match.

In love the Dog is loyal, honest and protective; in close relationships, trust is everything to it. It keeps its word and makes sacrifices for its partner. Its anxious nature can lead it to dwell on negative scenarios; open communication and reassuring behavior put the relationship at ease. It is compatible with the Tiger, Horse and Rabbit and may clash with the Dragon and Rooster.
The Pig in love
- Generous
- Good-natured
- Hardworking
- Tolerant
- Naive
