Same, PP! I could’ve written much of your post. I have a Mastiff, so that one was extremely easy and obvious. All the others (including Greyhound) were nearly impossible.

The Doberman was pure trickery. I’m convinced two or three of those images are in fact Dobermans.

I found the Poodle and Doberman insanely misleading.

I have a Mastiff, so I got that one right.

I agree!!

I got 8 right and I thought I'd do better.

I got 10 correct and that flatters me as a couple of my choices were complete guesses.

71%, I was delighted that my breed was one of the candidates. I agree with PP that they greyhound was tough with only a face!

13/14. Confused the greyhound and whippet :/ Very hard with just the face. I like that some more unusual breeds were on there-lakeland terrier, otterhound.

50%, but I don't think it was a really fair test. They didn't show anything to show the size of the animal, and for many of them, they only showed the face, so it wasn't really possible to make comparisons. (For instance, you really can't differentiate the samoyed and the american eskimo just by looking at their faces).
It does highlight that many of these breeds are very, very close in looks. If you bought a Norwich terrier and someone gave you a Norwalk terrier instead, would you ever know? Would it ever matter?
