Thank you
Projectyl and I completed this one using teamwork. Extremely tough, and I had to resort to a list of dog breeds on Wikipedia, but I'm proud of our combined effort.

Very good,but workable with some deep thinking.
I had no clue. Definitely up to your usual standards, Jazz. Thanks for posting.
Daunting, too hard for me. I must be honest and say I didn't even try. Sorry Jazz. Just wasn't my thing this time.
Awesome! Such a neat idea, and I feel my brain flexing - haha!
(I agree with mathgrant: it should be aspirations, not inspirations. I guessed German Shepherd for that one... )
