No categories were left out, meaning that the majority of dogs/Corgis fit into 1-6 or components of them, though they are not all embracing. Peggy - for 'owners' also read 'handlers.' I think you are mistaken if yiou don't believe that a lot of owners/handlers are selfish. Most dogs in service for farming, drugs, customs, police work, guarding industrial and commercial properties (and also a factor with private home guard dogs) do not enjoy normal social activities within a family and have the run of a home. A lot of breeding dogs also fit into this type of treatment as do some Corgis I know who are members of the WWCWC either from a past life (as show and breeding dogs) or as per current (re the Santa Claus breeder).
I would not interpret "significant other" as meaning other human but rather other anything that can bleed.
The main thrust of the writer was to categorise owners/handlers and their dogs/Corgis for purposes of training or retraining to try and correct errors of upbringing. All categories have their good points but some can have much more of a downside than do others. The article appeared in a NZ magazine.
