Well, being a cat person - I can relate in reverse. I recognize only a few breeds of dogs like chihuahua, german shepherd, dachshund and collie (if it looks like Lassie) - I think that is probably all I would know. The little white dogs all look like poodles to me Any big brown or black dog is a big brown or black dog. A tan dog is a tan dog. etc.
Heh, I'm the opposite.
Since I'm more of a dog person, I'm pretty good at recognizing the different dog breeds, but with cats, it's more of a "Oh, look at the pretty longhaired kitty" or, "Look at the pretty shorthaired one". I *can* recognize the more common or well known breeds, such as a Persian or a Siamese, though.
