What do you love about your breed's appearance?

my friend breeds Irish Setters, they're really pretty.  Really cute as pups too!! 

It's hard to narrow it down to one thing. I guess I love how noble they look and the intelligence in their eyes.

I like naturally large, erect ears and a full tail.  I like a shorter coat and a black face.  My breeds are Belgian Malinois, German Shepherds, and Dutch Shepherds. 

Shepherd: size, body shape, deep chest, sable color, ears straight up, eyes & eye color, intense stare, teeth, coat, wolf-like appearance, athletic appearance, and the way she moves.

I'm sure I'm forgetting some others that I love about them.

Labs...what's not to love? I love the thick sturdy build, wide girth, the entire overall size, the shiny short coat, the big head, the otter tail, and the facial expressions.

I really love dogs that look like, well..dogs. By that I mean look more "natural", I guess, more like other canids. I love all dogs, and think they're all (okay, most of them) adorable, but the little companion breeds, sighthounds, and a lot of other breeds..that're shaped unlike any other canid..they just don't call to me like a good Heinz 57, ACD, GSD, husky..

I don't have a breed really... I can't even guess anymore what Cherokee is.. But I just think she's perfect. Every part of her is built for practicality in almost every sense. I love that.

Though I don't own one, I love the look of the American pit bull terrier. When you look at them, you see a very strong, well muscled dog. Truly an athlete!

Shelties....their sweet faces, their coats, their size, their ears.

BC's....I love their different facial expressions and all the different coat types/colors they come in.

 When it comes to papillons... do I really even need to say it?  I love their huge furry ears.

We hard core Border Collie people are supposed to look only at how well livestock is worked, as a measurement of the value of an individual dog.  I'll freely admit though, that seeing a dog that runs out as freely and swiftly as a shot arrow, makes my heart sing and always has.  None of your gallumphers, please.  I like a dog that looks well-balanced and I'm a sucker for big coated, tall, strong looking males.  I like the tiny smooth coated dogs too.

I too love the variety - especially since I can appreciate the implications from a genetic standpoint.  I'll be attending a trial weekend after next and always enjoy seeing the wide range of physical appearances in top dogs, who all are capable of pretty much the same amazing things.
