Are there any dog breeds you find ugly/dislike the look of?

Saeleofu · Feb 27, 2011

So far everyone's been a good sport about not taking it personally

AdrianneIsabel · Feb 27, 2011

Oh I see and agree, I was just thinking "ouch... don't insult my dogs..." then I remembered I like how funny looking my dogs are. lol

Saeleofu · Feb 27, 2011

Yeah, I definitely had the same thoughts when I first saw this thread, but I've been rather impressed that it hasn't exploded lol.

Laurelin · Feb 27, 2011

This thread has made me realize that there is no breed that actually embodies my ideal look for a dog.

Xandra · Feb 27, 2011

Agreed that this thread has been really good so far.

Yeah I'm in the same boat.

CharlieDog · Feb 27, 2011

Me toooooo. I just can't seem to find it. And shelter dogs are a crapshoot for what I'm looking for. So, I'll just keep waiting for my GSD.

PWCorgi · Feb 27, 2011

I hates all them there darn LEGGED dogs!!

AdrianneIsabel · Feb 27, 2011

Wait, you have like 17(jk) papillon and haven't found that ideal?

Thats true, I've never had a dog that uses eye like Quinn. But when she has to wait for her dinner she gives me the most intense look, its quiet unsettling and intimidating, but very, very cool.

StillandSilent · Feb 28, 2011

I don't care much for the droopy look, whether its in eyes (and I have HUGE eye issues myself, eyeball in general makes me sick) or droopy lips, which kind of knocks out most mastiffs. I also dislike blue eyes, though that isn't the make or break for me.

Um, I don't like smushed faces in dogs, but love it in cats.

Dislike the look and feel of poodle/doodle coats.

Of course, I never cared for merle coloring, either, and look who I ended up with.

Lol nope.

I think paps are cute and pretty but they're not my ideal looks wise.

I think it'd be something similar to a feathery looking Ibizan hound with a black and white coat....

i don't like any breeds so extreme that basic doggy life is difficult or impossible. i don't hold it against the dogs butt i would like to punch some breeders in the face especially the ones long dead that started the whole mess.

Kat09Tails · Feb 28, 2011

I find little as unappealing as flat faced - short muzzled breeds, especialy the little ones like pekes, shihs, and apsos.

I also find short legged terriers to be rather unappealing.

Saeleofu · Feb 28, 2011

Oh! I'm not a fan of Bull Terrier noses. Or collies that look like they have bull terrier noses.

KenyiGirl · Feb 28, 2011

Oh, also, I don't like bulgy eyes, whether it be a chihuahua, a pug, a cocker spaniel, a boston terrier, whatever. I'm always worried that their poor little eyes are gonna pop out

LMAO!

I hate seeing dogs with long legs... it looks so uncomfortable and awkward for them. They trip over themselves. All dogs should be bred with tiny dwarf legs and the ability to turn on a dime.

AgilityPup · Feb 28, 2011

I was never one for Borzois, to be honest. I just didn't like them... can't put my finger on it... they just weren't for me... that said, I met one this weekend, and fell in love. They're much different in person.

I'm not fond of Boston Terrier puppies, but like adults. And am just not usually one for "small" breeds..

mrose_s · Feb 28, 2011

I'm surprised to see so many people not a fan of lomg faces like on collies or borzoi's.

I'm crazy on Borzoi's, once I get a couple more BC's I might just HAVE to have a zoi.

HayleyMarie · Feb 28, 2011

Neo's All that loose skin scares me lol. Douges as well. Their creepy crooked, underbite just creeps me out.

Show Shih tzu I find pretty, but I hate the awefull puppy cut.

Show GSD pretty much walking on their hocks creep me out.

Dandee Dinmonts. I think kept natural they are cute, but I don't really like how they are cut.

I used to not like chi's then I saw pics of Jesse's chis and I fell in love. I so want one now.

I think My moms' Scottish terrier is the ugliest thing in the world lol

I really don't like dogs that have pushed in faces.

colliewog · Feb 28, 2011

All you Collie haters are forgiven.

I don't like brachycephalic dogs with the east-west eyes. If you're looking at me, I'd like both eyes to be facing forward.

Not a fan of non-athletic breeds. I want to see an in shape, muscular dog who appears to be able to run all day without getting tired.

Of course, I don't hate any dog breed, but I figured this thread was really meant to show our 'preferences' ....
