Those are the same answers I got, but you beat me to it. You missed the China 1994 medal. I found a picture of it, but I can't tell what it is. Maybe a Shih Tzu? It's a small furry dog, though. LOL
Also, the 2003 Cook Islands could also be a pointer. They issued 5 different 1 cent coins, two of which were dogs. One was a collie, the other was a pointer.

Don't forget the 2006 Lunar proofs which show two other breeds of dog one for Gold and another for Silver.

In order to keep other dogs from suing, China had to use a mixed breed, normally what the Westerners call a "mutt".

email me your address as you are the closest to all correct answers.
The only exception are According to "experts"
The coins from Singapore and China are artists conceptions of dogs and not a specific breed.
did you have all of these coins or did you have to look them up on the net?

Btw, I put singapore as pomeranian because as you said, it wasn't a specific breed, but there was a CoA that has two pomeranians drawn on it by the artist...
