    Whinny actually is ugly to many people, and once i had a complete stranger say to me, "that sure is an ugly dog" which is fine, i can see how people might think she is ugly . i thought it was weird that he said it outloud though!

     
    She is not! What did you say to that? I tend to have a nasty temper, and I probably would've made a pretty mean comment about how he looked.
     
    I guess it's hard for some people to understand, but my dogs are my babies. When we're out and someone makes a comment about my dog, they are making a comment about me. And I get defensive! It just seems so rude to me that someone would think it's ok to say your dog is ugly right to you.

    I couldn't possibly dream of telling someone that something they loved was ugly... honestly, I just think it's cruel and nasty to do so... what do you have to gain out of it? Hurting someone?
     
    I do not care for the way some breeds look or specific dogs for that matter. I don't really feel the need to voice my feelings or opinions about it.
     
    For the ugly dog contest... I feel bad for those dogs. I think most dogs have a beautiful personality and it's a shame most people wouldn't be able to get past the look.

    It is somewhat of a wonder that mothers can look at them long enough to nurse them

     
    I wanted to ask if you were speaking from experience but it's hard to get the timing and inflection right in a post so that we could both share a giggle. I have a face only a mother could love and that's by obligation.

    I was also going to comment that practically all of the "Ugly Dogs" are the Chinese Crested hairless ones. And I really have to agree with that, because, even when that breed is a show quality, or a puppy,  I think they are one of the ugilest breeds of dogs. Actually, quite a long while back, I was looking through one of my  dog breed books, and we would look at the pictures and decide which dogs were "Oogli-Fruits", which is what we called the 'ugly' dogs. How wierd is that?[:-] lol

    And I had a dog as a kid I got from the animal shelter, a Pit mix, and I thought she was cute, so when a guy said that she wasn't , that she was pretty ugly, I said "Well, she's cuter than YOU!"  Can you believe that! LOL Of course, this was when I was 10.....
