Best breed of dog for a cat household

We have 3 cats, and my daughters want a dog. What some good dog breeds to consider?

Breeds can go either way as a class.

Sporting breeds generally do well with kitties. Cat says Buzz off -dog goes, oh okay, I'll be gentler in playing, but please please like me.

TERRIERS DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT. They were bred to hunt down, chase and kill small things - rats, moles, groundhogs etc.

Herding breeds are split. Border collies and Aussies will tend to chase the cats but not to hurt them -they want to herd them and keep them where they can see them. Other herding breeds are not as strong in the "nip to herd" behavior and dote on their kitties.

Dogs that have a high prey drive such as GDSs, Dobes, Huskies, Malmutes, Bouvier des Flandres, ..nope, not a good idea.

I've a 'herd guarding' breed and he will defend his cats to the death against anyone or anything, just worships them and fusses over them. He is the cats 'favorite toy. When I hear a cat shrieking, it is not because the dog has done something to the cat - it is because the 10 lb cat wants the 115 lb dog to play -walks right up to the dog and slaps him on the nose and says "lets go!" (And I'm yelling at the cat to stop picking on the dog and for heaven's sake, settle DOWN - if you guys flip that coffee table one more time. with that racing and diving under it.!)

I've had Boston Terriers (GREAT WITH KIDS!), Bulldogs (English), Shetland Sheepdogs (GREAT WIHT KIDS), .Welsh Corgis (DITTO), Golden Retrievers (Yep - if they are healthy and get LOTS of exercise), a Chow Chow/Keeshond cross, and Kuvasz (the big guy) all living with cats quite happily.
