    Um...I should stop now but I could keep going on and on.
     
    I like prick eared breeds, natural ones for the most part.  But I love a muscular deep chest and a tight tuck on a dog.  I don't mind so called "skinny" dogs at all, in fact I like that they look like they could take 3 steps and be at 40mph that fast.

    Tibetan Mastiff
    Akita
    Great Dane
    Pointer
    Siberian Husky
     
    All these breeds are distinctive and don't look like anything else than what they are. And of course I mean a to-standard specimen of each breed.

    When I think of "best looking" there's one breed that comes to mind and that's the Borzoi. I've never laid eyes on a more elegant looking breed and I can understand why they were subjects of many portraits and sculptures.
    • Gold Top Dog
    I like:
     
    Dogue de Bordeaux
    Beauceron
    Kuvasz
    Great Dane
    Doberman
    Shepherd: (especially all white like Blue or all black like Kaiser)
    West Highland
    Pharaoh Hound
    Afghan....just love that hair
    Saluki
    and
    Coton de Tulear for a little dog...
