Thinking about this thread led to me wonder, if I were a dog, what dog breed would I be and why?

I’m tall, long-legged, rather lean, have longer hair I’m a bit vain about, and have a narrow face. I’m an Afghan Hound.
How about you?
Your link isn’t working, but I know which thread you meant–I feex:
I think both physically and in terms of temperament, I’d be a golden retriever. I’m a people pleaser, I like to help, I like to fetch information and items for people, and I’m generally fairly perky and cheerful in public, but I can tone that down very quickly to be quiet and sympathetic as the need arises. And I have long orangish red hair and a tendancy towards fat. 
A Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
One of the shorter worker types, and one with more hair than dog, such as a Catalan shepherd or Portuguese water dog.
(I asked the hair dresser for a wash-and-shear. She had no problem understanding what I meant)
I look like an old basset hound but I have the heart of a greyhound.
I’d be a pitbull. People think they’re scary and dangerous, and maybe a few are, but many of them are actually not so bad. There are people who think the same of people like me, who are a little screwed up mentally - that they’re scary and dangerous. But I think most are pretty decent folks.
An English Mastiff. Very Large, laid-back, a bit aloof with strangers, with a playful heart and a good deal of loyalty to my friends.
…I don’t slobber quite as much, though…
Heinz 57 mutt.
And the next one a youse that sniffs my butt is getting tore up.
I don’t know anything about dog breeds. What type of dog is mean-spirited, ugly, lies in the corner all day and only interrupts his sleep demanding to be fed instantly?
A gently raised Rottweiler, scary looking but sensitive and without fear.
YES!!!
Border Collie/Black Lab mix/Blood Hound mix. All the worst traits of those three breeds.
Mixed breed with a good dose of bulldog. I do tend to hold onto things once I bite.
I would say a mutt with a god infusion of pit bull. Most dog breeds are far too submissive for me to identify with, a good old street dog would most likely come closest.
Probably a Great Pyrenees. I’m tall, independent and can be aloof, but I’m affectionate with those few I feel close to. I also have fabulous hair and shed a ton. 
Not sure about the breed, but a gender confused one in any case. As a human I’m a male, but folks always tell me I’m somebitch.
I’m a cat.
