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.
I realize I am quoting myself but I realized something - I don't know cat breeds either!! I have always had domestic mixed breeds!! I can recognize features like Siamese, Himalayan, Persian and breeds like Sphinx and Scottish Fold with very distinctive features - and since PT I can sometimes recognize the Maine Coon and Ragdoll types but other than that - it is longhaired and shorthaired for me too!
