On those things I always get a 100% match with a sheltie. After owning a bunch of shelties, I can tell you that they are NOT my perfect breed, though I do like them.

I swear it's pretty impossible to get a border collie on those. I've tried on purpose to skew it and I still can't get them to come up. dunno why.

ETA: The only thing I can figure is that you have to answer that you have a high metabolism?

I get 146 matches, though.

100% Matches for me are listed below:

Herding Group: (I strongly considered a Belgian Tervuren before getting Goldens)
Belgian Malinois - love them, prefer more coat
Belgian Tervuren - YES, YES, YES
Briards - love them
Old English Sheepdogs - NO way, not me!
Shiloh Shepherd (Plush) - maybe?

Hound Group: (I don't see myself with any of these ... off target here ... maybe a bloodhound? coonhound? but not these breeds)
Afghan Hound - NO way, not me!
Borzois - NO way, not me!
Chart Polski - not for me
Otterhounds - not for me

Sporting Group: (I've got 2 Goldens ... what can I say?)
Retrievers (Chesapeake Bay) - not for me
Retrievers (Flat-Coated) - I strongly considered this breed
Retrievers (Golden) - I have 2 ... right on target
Retrievers (Labrador) - probably not as good as choice as Goldens or Flatties
Setters (English) - Oh yes, I can see this choice
Setters (Gordon) - Definitely, love this breed

Working Group: (I've had an Akita & I adore them ... I also love Rotties)
Akitas - Oh YES, YES, YES ... I love Akitas
Bernese Mountain Dogs - probably not for me
Rottweilers - YES, YES, YES ... I love Rotties

No surprise, there were no matches for me in the Toy or Terrier Groups. I was surprised to find out how well this test picked matches for me. In the non-Sporting group, it was right on target with my favorites but I didn't score more than 90% on them ... Shar Pei, Shiba Inu, Chow Chow.

This test is different from most I've seen. Thanks for the share. It was pretty close on the 90% & 80% dogs too (way off on those hounds though as my favs were all in the 90% category).

Only 2 100% for me Golden and flat coated retrievers !!

My 100% matches are...

Herding:
Australian Cattle Dog - No, definitely not for me.
Australian Shepherd - Really like them.
Belgian Malinois - Like them, but prefer Groenendaels & Tervs because of coat.
Belgian Tervuren - Love them!
Border Collie - Love them!
Canaan Dog - Don't know much about them, but I think they're pretty.

Hounds:
Basset Hound - I don't think so..
Black & Tan Coonhound - Again, not for me..
Greyhound - I like them, but they're not as energetic as I prefer.
Ibizan Hound - Beautiful dogs, but again, not sure if they're for me.
Pharaoh Hound - Same as Ibizan
Rhodesian Ridgeback - Love them!
Whippet - Very pretty, but again, not for me..

Actually, I don't think I'm much of a hound person in general. As much as I love their appearances, the only one I ever might live with is a Ridgeback.

Non-Sporting:
Dalmatian - Love them!
Shar-Pei - No thank you.

Sporting:
Brittany - Very pretty, but not for me temperament wise.
Pointers - Never been much of a Pointer person.
Retrievers (Chesapeake Bay) - Love them except for the coat
Retrievers (Flat-Coated) - Love them!
Retrievers (Golden) - Like them
Retrievers (Labrador) - Like them
Spaniels (Welsh Springer) - Don't know much about them, but they're beautiful. I'm not really a Spaniel person though.
Vizsla - Really like them.

(lol, I was disappointed that they didn't give me a Toller... but maybe this tests doesn't have them?)

Terriers:
Bull Terrier (coloured) - Love them, but I'm not a terrier sort of person.
Bull Terrier (white) - Obviously, same as above.

Toy:
Papillon - Love them, but don't really see myself with a little dog again.

Working:
Bernese Mountain Dog - Really like them,
Boxer - No way! Too much panting and snuffling for me.
Doberman Pinscher - Love them!
Rottweiler - Love them! Had them for years, but do prefer Dobes now.
St. Bernard - Love them, but have a hard time picturing myself with such a large dog.

I dont really have a problem with the activity of dobes. Oh well. Beagles arent on there, but I know. I love Emma but they arent my breed,

This test bothers me with this:

For Exercise, you can pick:
You have no yard, and don't plan on taking your dog on regular walks
You have an outdoor yard or plan to take your dog on regular walks and occasional runs
You have an outdoor yard AND plan to regularly take your dog jogging, hiking or cycling

There's NO choice to select "no yard, but plan to regularly take dog jogging, hiking, cycling, etc." They make it out that if you have no yard, you won't be properly exercising your dog.

That bothers me too!

???????

This test kinda bothered me with this

Dogs need to be trained and all dogs need exercise and though that will vary depending on breed it doesn't tend to depend on size. I look at most terriers and a lot of them are smaller and need more exercise and time than my 70 pound mastiff mix who sleeps all day.

Did not like that they made is seem little dogs need no training or exercise and large dogs need lots of training and a ton of exercise

Linds and Sizzle, those are both things that have always bothered me about this test too. I like the Animal Planet test best... it never fails to give me or others I know very accurate answers.

I got 7 matches:
Harrier: I just looked them up and I like them a lot from what I've read.

Flat Coated Retriever: They're all right, I don't know much about them though.

Golden Retriever: They are nice dogs but I would not own one.

Labrador: Same as Golden although I might be more apt to owning one.

English Setter: I like them but don't know if i can handle the coat.

Irish Setter: I've always liked them but same as above with the coat. I might consider getting one in the future though (or a mix).

Field Spaniel: Not for me.

I got 25 100% matches.

btw...it said "I am unwilling or unable to obedience train a dog" (if you select this only tiny dogs will come up because they are the only dogs that don't need training"

???? What ????

I got matched to an 80%-90% degree with my entire top 5 list:

1. Weimaraner
2. Vizsla
4. German Shorthaired Pointer
5. Rhodesian Ridgeback

The only dog missing was my own personal #3 dog - Dobermans.
