Quick answer
If you were born between January 29, 2006 and February 17, 2007, your Chinese zodiac animal is the Dog (火狗), a Yang Fire year. The Chinese year starts at Chinese New Year, not on January 1, so if your birthday is earlier in 2006 you are a Rooster (鸡) instead.
People born in 2006 turn 20 in 2026 (or 19, before their birthday).

Dogs are faithful, fair and dependable friends. They stand up for what is right, though they can worry and be overly critical.
As a Yang Fire sign, your element adds its own flavor to the Dog nature. Tradition pairs each animal with one of five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) in a repeating cycle, so the same animal has five different elemental versions over 60 years.
