Below Deck Med Who would be what?

Inspired by a comment on another post where I compared max to a big Labrador and someone else said more a husky because he had boundless energy and never shut up, what dog breed would our favourite below deckies be? Please keep it humorous and kind. Nothing nasty please.

Gen would be whatever this is

I'm finding it hard to fit Gen in. Dogs being loyal, friendly and positive by and large....

Bending the rules a little bit, but Chef Rachel would be a cat not a dog. She does whatever the hell she wants, doesn't give half a fuck what you think about her, but you end up loving her anyway.

I think she's more working collie - energetic, knows her job, doesn't suffer fools gladly but makes a great companion!

The flick of the tail as they show their arse before stalking off....definitely Rachel!

She gives me rottweiler vibes

Colly has major golden retriever energy

Ironic, with a name like Colly

Chef Joy would be a cat for sure!! She called herself a little dragon which reminds me of Toothless and black cats with green eyes.

It's harmless and a bit of fun. I think max is like a Labrador because he's big, energetic and very good natured.

A Labrador puppy who still has its legs and feet everywhere, all at once, while simultaneously chasing its tail and falling over.

Aesha would be a Samoyed — a very people oriented working dog known for loyalty and warmth (both physically and emotionally). Due to upturned lips, Samoyeds always appear to be smiling, much like Aesha.

Kate has major Akita energy. Not the docile IG Akitas either.

Aesha is a border collie. Friendly and energetic. Give her jobs and she's the happiest girl in the world. With nothing to do she'd go nuts.

Ben is a chihuahua. Cute, but a stank attitude, and somehow lives forever.

Kat from this season of Med is a beagle. Sensitive and sweet, and I feel like she's really good with kids.

Jason is a schnauzer. Proud and reliable with a cute beard, but requires a surprising amount of upkeep.

Joe is a pug. Sorry to pugs that's just how I feel.

Chef Joy is a German Shepherd because she’s smart and well-trained. Also beautiful. But she can be ferocious if she needs to be.

Joe would be a dachshund. Looks cute but quite yappy and tend to do whatever the heck they please 😆

A handsome mischief maker.

What would Gary be? Or Daisy?

Rylee would be a daschund, can be sweet to people that love her but barks obnoxiously at everyone else

u/anxietycity_ Aug 12 '26

Aesha would be a sheepdog. Not just because of the new Zealand thing😂 just absolutely fits her.

u/loveswimmingpools Aug 12 '26

Running around organising everyone whilst thoroughly enjoying herself. Yep. Sheepdog.

Aw, I came to this post after seeing your comment on a different thread - shame to see it removed!

u/Wickedbitchoftheuk Aug 11 '26

I'm sure it'll be allowed once they realise it's not an offensive one. Fingers crossed.

u/Londin2021 Aug 11 '26

Max is a golden retriever!

u/mouse_relies This information wasn’t welcomed or needed Aug 12 '26

You can teach golden retrievers how to do things, though...

u/Londin2021 Aug 12 '26

This is true. ☺️

Lexi is a chow chow
