What is it that attracts you to some of your favourite breeds?....

This is just a random/boredom thread but I thought it might be interesting for those of us who do have a favourite breed.
______________________________________________
I'm only going to do my top 4 since these are my most favourites...

Tollers:
-The fact that they're ready and willing to work for you.
-Their coat colour, I'm not sure why but for some reason I love the orange and white coat with the light pigment.
-Their size (not too big, not too small).
-They're not an "I just met you and your my best friend" type of dog, they're very reserved and cautious around strangers for the most part, some aren't but most are.
-Their activity level. I love breeds/dogs with a really high energy level but what I lvoe about Tollers is that they've almost got an activity level of a Border Collie but it's not quite as much.

Dobermans:
-They've got an athletic build.
-A lot of them love to learn and are very willing to please.
-Get a long with anyone and everything but again, are a bit reserved around strangers.
-I like the coat colours they come in (esp. the blues)
-They bark a couple times to warn you that somebody's at the door and as soon as you open it they quit (98% of the time you don't have to tell them to be quiet).
-They aren't a really high maintenance breed.

Dalmatians:
-Their coat pattern of course!
-They're pretty active and outgoing
-They're pretty intelligent
-They've got a nice build
-Nice size (again, not too big and not too small)

Australian Shepherd:
-Their coat colours (especially red merle!)
-Their extremely intelligent
-Perfect coat length
-great size
-eye colours
-ability to do 98% of what you ask

Of course there are many more reasons why I love these 4 breeds but it'd take a very long time to lsit everything. Everything you read about the reasons I typed about each is based on my own experience with the breeds.
