The Grammatically Correct Usage of plural and singular nouns

Thank you for reading my question.

I am a nonnative in English and I would like to ask about the correct way to ask if someone prefers a certain kind of animals.

Does" Do you like tiger?"or "Do you like dog?"sound strange to native English speakers?

I have learned in my home country that it is correct to say "Do you like tigers?" or "Do you like dogs?"because animals are countable nouns.

But recently I heard a half American English teacher teach my daughter " Do you like tiger?"or "Do you like dog?"

She said all animals in singular forms.

Does" Do you like tiger?"or "Do you like dog?" sound normal to native English speakers? Or,if someone says " Do you like tiger?",she or he is regarded as a nonnatve English speaker?

Than you.
