Oh no----VR would be a min pin! My min pin is the smartest dog I've ever had. He even learned what the kids could and couldn't do and would come tell on them if they were doing something wrong. And bossy? My lord that dog is bossy!
Oh, but anyway, the VR is the most talkative, "smartest" most eloquent deck I've used thus far.
So for me---the VR is a min pin.
The Spanish tarot that says Fournier on the front is a chihuahaua. But my opinion there doesn't count for much because I don't read Marseilles decks---yet (one eye on Umbrae).
The Ancestral Path would be a Samoyed, I think. It's kind of exotic and Sammies are less well known than Huskies, and it's a very smart, very devoted working dog breed. I'm reminded of it by the Pentacles suit in that deck.
RWS is a bloodhound---not much on looks but it will sure help you snoop out the most well-hidden answers to your questions.
Gilded---a sleek, racy Greyhound. Beautiful to look at and will swiftly take you to your answers.
Aquarian---poodle---popular breed/deck in the 60's and 70's.
Arthurian Legend---Basset hound. Just lies there on its back snoring mostly. Doesn't do a thing for me.
