The Beauty of an Ugly Dog

Introduction

I love my ugly dog. She’s got a funny face and an awkward body, but she has a personality that shines through. She’s loyal and kind, and her quirks make us laugh all the time. While I’m sure there are plenty of “pretty” dogs out there who don’t deserve the label, some breeds just aren’t bred to be the prettiest ones around—and that’s okay!

The Chinese Crested

The Chinese Crested is a hairless breed of dog that can be traced back to Asian spitz-type dogs. It’s a very old breed, but it wasn’t until the late 19th century that they began to be recognized as a distinct variety.

This intelligent and social dog has been used by humans for centuries for hunting, herding and companionship. The Chinese Crested can be trained to perform tricks and obey commands, making them an ideal pet for those looking for an active lifestyle or who want their companion animal to have more than one role in the household.

The Pekingese

The Pekingese is a breed of toy dog known for its lion-like appearance, with a flat face, a curled tail and abundant hair. They are considered to be among the oldest breeds in China, where they have been kept as status symbols by Chinese royalty.

In the United States, they were first registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1906.

The Pug

Pugs are a breed of dog with a wrinkly, short-muzzled face and curled tail. They’re adorable, but they may also be a bit stubborn. Pugs can be very loyal and loving dogs, but they do sometimes have an independent streak which makes training them difficult at times.

Pugs were bred to be lapdogs and companion animals because they love people so much! They will follow you around the house, sleep next to you on the couch or bed, and snuggle up against your side at night when it’s cold out. They are great cuddlers who enjoy being close to their owners wherever possible!

The English Bulldog

The English Bulldog is a breed of domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) that originated in the United Kingdom. The breed is known for its distinctive wrinkled face, heavy bones and large head. They are very stubborn and willful, not responding well to harsh training methods or discipline. They are very loyal to their owner.

The Boston Terrier

The Boston terrier is a popular choice for families with children because of their friendly and playful nature. They have a sturdy bone structure and muscular body, which makes them well-suited to indoor activities such as chasing toys or playing fetch. Their short legs make them easy to house train and they’re relatively low-maintenance when it comes to grooming, especially compared to other breeds like French Bulldogs or Pugs (which have longer fur coats). The Boston Terrier has been recognized by the American Kennel Club since 1893, making it one of the oldest breeds around today!

The Shih Tzu

Shih Tzu are a small breed of dog, with big personalities. They are known for their cute and wrinkly faces, and their long flowing coats. Shih Tzu can be trained to do tricks like sitting pretty or walking on their hind legs. They love cuddling with people and will often run up to you with excitement when you come home. Their playfulness makes them the perfect choice for homes with children who want a companion that’s not too high-maintenance or destructive, but still wants to play!

The Poodle

While poodles are not considered to be ugly dogs, their curly coat and the fact that they need to be groomed regularly can make them appear a little less than glamorous. However, this is certainly not the case! Poodles are intelligent, energetic and playful. They excel at dog sports like agility and obedience because they love learning new tricks and challenges.

Poodles do require a lot of exercise if you want them to stay healthy (they are bred for hunting water fowl), but they also make great companions for children as well as other pets in your home. Their coats shed very little hair so don’t worry about constant vacuuming or sweeping up after them!

Even a mixed-breed dog can be ugly!

I’ve seen and heard so many negative opinions about mixed-breed dogs, particularly those referred to as “mutts.” People often make comments about how ugly a dog is or how it has no personality because it isn’t a pure breed. There is a misconception that if you want something cute or adorable, you should go for a purebred puppy or small dog. Many people believe this because they think that large dogs are always mean and therefore not good pets for children or families. This simply isn’t true!

There are many reasons why adopting an ugly dog can be beautiful:

  • We can see their true nature more easily
  • Their personalities shine through more clearly
  • They come up with creative ways to entertain us (see video below)

Beauty is not only in the eye of the beholder; it’s in the soul of the beholder.

Beauty is not only in the eye of the beholder; it’s in the soul of the beholder.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked, “What does an ugly dog look like? How do you know when something is ugly?” The answer is simple: beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder. A dog that looks like a miniature lion with comical ears and a curly tail may be considered beautiful by one person, and absolutely hideous by another. The same goes for dogs that look like miniature bears or little old people with big bellies! It really has nothing to do with their physical characteristics—it has everything to do with how we perceive them as individuals.

It’s also important to remember that our perspective on beauty changes over time too. For instance, if someone were born during World War II (like me), they probably wouldn’t consider poodles cute at all because they’d associate them with Hitler’s favorite breed! There are even cultures where certain types of dogs are considered ugly based on their size/shape or coloration; but this doesn’t make them any less worthy as pets; just different than what we’re used to seeing here in America.”

Conclusion

I hope that this blog has helped you to see just how beautiful ugly dogs can be. I know it’s easy to get caught up in the superficial aspects of life, but there are so many other things out there that matter more than looks. My advice? Look past the fur and wrinkles, and see the love behind them!
