Hmmm...they put Aussies down at 64 and GSD's up at 100...not completely accurate, really. Unless they're counting Aussies as having "wavy" hair.

[vanillasugar]

Hmm... I had to tinker with how I answered the questions a bit, but overall not bad. (Definitely don't agree with Lab being top of my list, I know they're compatible with my lifestyle but they're not "me") Newfies would have been in top spot if it were up to me.

100 Labrador Retriever
89 Newfoundland
88 Keeshond
86 Field Spaniel
86 Harrier
85 Golden Retriever
85 Pointer
84 Curly-Coated Retriever
84 Flat-Coated Retriever
83 English Springer Spaniel

From there down it seemed a bit random... for example between 83 and 75 I have quite the variety including French Bulldog, Toy Poodle, Whippet, Dalmatian, Basset Hound and Border Collie.

Lab - Golden - Flat coated retriever - Brittany and Whippet !

I'd consider 5 of those for future dogs. How did I get poodle with low grooming requirements and straight hair?

Papillon was way down at 65 on the list and I can't find German Shepherd or Aussie.

Now how did I get collie when I said I wanted short smooth coat with minimal grooming needs?

The one thing that bothers me about this breed selector is they imply certain breeds are more prone to biting and aggression, which is untrue. :/

ETA: Wow, I went back and did it again and said I preferred a guard dog, and labrador retriever came up as the second breed (with Doberman Pinscher as the first one). Labs aren't supposed to be guard dogs!

 

[Romy]

Now how did I get collie when I said I wanted short smooth coat with minimal grooming needs?

Borzoi is more mystifying, as they do not have a short smooth coat of any kind.

 

[Sweet72947]

Oh yeah, forgot about the smooth collie.

 

[Renee750il]

Errrr . . . hardly The Komondor is the only breed in the top ten that I'd be even remotely interested in owning.

[FluffyZooCrew]

Meh, can't say it did too well. Scottish Deerhound, Irish Wolfhound, Komondor, and Saint Bernard would've been towards the top of my list. Bloodhound would've been a 100. And Dachshund would've been a 100 or very close to it.

Those in bold are breeds I like and wouldn't mind owning in my lifetime.

[Psyfalcon]

100 Collie Not quite my style, but I could live with one.
100 Pharaoh Hound I did pick longhair/trainable, but I do like sighounds (or semi sighthounds in thise case)
98 Airedale Terrier
98 Australian Cattle Dog
96 Harrier (I have no idea...)
95 Labrador Retriever (sure)
94 Canaan Dog (I've been reading about these.. training?)
94 German Shorthaired Pointer (met too many bad ones)
94 Ibizan Hound (see Pharaoh- and why a 100 vs 94?)
94 Vizsla (nope, singlecoated need not apply, unless you chase down hares)

Well there is a 22pt difference between the 90 of the Husky and the Mal, with a bigger jump to the sammy. I'm not sure why, the only real difference the selector touched on is size and it lists the Lab, Pointers, Plott hound and Fox terrier at 90 or above.
