Best Answer

About 10 or 15, depending on who you ask. Some breeders consider certain breeds as subtypes of more common breeds.

Some of the most common:

- American / English (smooth coat, most common)

- Abyssinian (multi-colored with 8 or more hair swirls)

- Coronet (long coat and a swirl of hair on the forehead)

- Crested (one hair swirl behind the head)

- Peruvian (long hair that parts along the pig's back)

- Sheltie / Silkie (long coat that doesn't part like a Peruvian)

- Teddy (Fuzzy, short hair)

- Texel (long, curly coat; requires lots of maintenance)
