The odd one out was the Border Collie because it is the only one which is not an extra large breed of dog.

you don't get half a point, but you do get to enjoy being top of the table and seeing a picture of the Scottish terrier puppy which was your answer

It was kinda rough that this happened over daylight savings time, but I stated in brackets the number of hours people had to answer.

I suppose that I need to fix the ambiguous times/number of hours in how long you guys have left.
