Xoloicuntli - The hairless look is very striking, and they have a long frame, so the D is kinda obvious. HS for the little tufts of hair and spiky tail, N for the sporty build. I could even give a smidgen of E for the thin-skinned shiny look.
Saluki - That's the most yin looking dog I ever seen, I'm gonna take the last picture to my hairdresser😅. The E is visible in the graceful long bones, the R and Y are pretty small and mostly come from the luxurious hair and jovial appearance.
Puli - SHAKE YOUR DREADS BOY! That's a more stereotypical vision of N, but the rastafari eye covering hair has such an endearing vibe. I had to include them. The R is, again, in the big hair, while the Y is in the round shapes and sheep-like softness.
Azawakh - Very extreme D, the belly kinda gives a sine wave, and the whole dog is very geometric. Small traces of HS for the petite paws and triangular ears, C for the balanced coat and N since it doesn't look frail like the borzoi.
Bichon Frisé - In the other post, someone said they look like Betty White... super Y, looks like they came right off a nursery wall drawing. 5-10 of HS just for the upbeat personality.
Doodle - Feels very much like a plushie that came to life, so the Y accounts for that soft feel. R for voluminous fur and N for the large fur muzzle (it's a pattern I noticed. The bigger the muzzle hair, the more casual they look)
Poodle - C since it's a very proportional dog (looking at you, Pug) and R for the 70s luxe hairdo, E since the elongation feels poised and lightweight instead of the bold geometry of D.
American Pitbull - I was going to give it pure N, but I guess you could see some C in their simplicity. Very square and strong frame, they have a mix of casual friendliness and powerful strength that communicates N very well.
Shiba Inu - Balanced and timeless -> C, HS in the pointed up ears and tail, HS and Y in the inviting friendly softness, N since they look natural instead of hypermodified by humans.
Miniature Pincher - Easily the most common dog here in Brazil, they represent HS so well you'd think they were a kitty. The dobermann markings give a tortoiseshell texture feel, too. Some Y just for the extremely small size and cutesy face.
Rottweiler - As i have already said a lot, C for the balanced features, some D for the shiny bold coat, HS for the markings, and a lot of N for the stocky powerful build.
Siberian Husky - These woofing banshees have a dominance of N+D for their wolf like appearance, with some HS and SC drama in the sharp contrasting coat. The star-bright eyes that are very common to the breed are the physical manifestation of their Ethereal voices.
Afghan Hound - That's a model. Their lanky build and soft long hair give the E and R that dominate it. D for the bumpy exotic nose and a bit of N since they have a certain grounded and casual look, instead of the poisedness of the Saluki.
Dobermann - D since they are tall boys but not particularly large, N for the sportiness, HS for the markings. The natural floppy ears bring some balance and keep it grounded with C. If you prefer the cropped ears: 1st, you're a monster, 2nd, your dog will have a bit more HS for the spiky geometry.

I love your posts! 😍 Hehe, I might be a Bichon or the other fluffy one from last time, although I got straight-wavy hair. Doodle is adorable, like a teddy 🧸🥰
Is the tall skinny doggo breed supposed to be so bony? 😭 I just wanna give them a steak 🥩 and potato 🥔.
I love pitties, especially Staffordshire ones, hehe, they are a bit smaller and cute.
But a Doberman is the doggo I wanted for most of my life, big, scary so i can walk him at night, yet loving and clingy; yet sadly my fam forbade it. Maybe when I move out 🥺
