Blue eyes on a dog is rather odd and cold. For me a smushed face lacks character and expression. If a dog can lick its own eyeball, there's something wrong. Bull breeds are a no, but love labs, newfies and many more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-18751756201112125712009-09-12T17:48:05.289+01:002009-09-12T17:48:05.289+01:00Big dark eyes or small dark eyes really, especiall...Big dark eyes or small dark eyes really, especially if they've got that teddy bear look, when they look out of corner of their eye and you see part of the whites. Bichons are my first love. Until recently I had 6, now sadly I'm down to 5. No I don't breed. My next faves are Dobermans.I like Rotties, GSD, Bull Terriers My Mum has a Bichon x Jack Russell, we call him Bichon Jack, he's a scruffy rogue that everyone loves.She also has a mix of Doberman, Bull Terrier, possible Pharoh hound poss ridge back. I'll have to send in a picture, she is absolutely stunning, and always gets lots of compliments. The only dogs I'm not keen on are Shar Pei's although nor could I cope with any drool. I love big dogs, but would draw the line at dogs that drool. With regards to pugs, I think their gorgeous, hopefully one day they'll be health problem free.carolannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-72671320554882755972009-09-09T17:02:52.843+01:002009-09-09T17:02:52.843+01:00As a general rule I love long-coated wolf-shaped d...As a general rule I love long-coated wolf-shaped dogs!

I also don't like furry bearded faces and prefer a short to medium coat.<br /><br />I have always liked a dog that is fairly average in head phenotype - not too long and narrow in the muzzle, but not short either. The Siberian Husky and the Beagle I have always considered the most beautiful. <br /><br />This did change up for a while when I became involved with a mentor and studied a certain breed a bit as suddenly the smooched square muzzles and padded eyes started to appeal. I believe I conditioned myself more to that look because it was correct for the breed I was interested in, even though I used to think it was ugly and used to think the "poorbreds" had much more visual appeal.intheworkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11118809701445916028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-39254999471083174672009-09-08T14:07:51.895+01:002009-09-08T14:07:51.895+01:00I'm colour-guided.

They need to be soft and warm, but intelligent!<br /><br />In fact the only breeds I dislike are Dobermans, Rottweilers and Chinese Crested really. There are lots of others I dont agree with like the Pekinese, but I dont dislike them as such, just think they have too many health issues caused by our breeding methods.Lucy Kingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-36083844472960676372009-09-08T10:50:53.900+01:002009-09-08T10:50:53.900+01:00I just adore boxers, got my first when I was eight...I just adore boxers, got my first when I was eight yrs old, had them until I started a family, then went onto cavaliers(once my boxer died) they were easier to have around the house with children, when my last cav(toby) died of heart failure I went back to my first love Boxers! I do not like many small breeds ie pugs. jack russells,and poodles, but would never harm any, larger dogs have such expresive faces, and big soft brown eys that just melt your heart.jo siemieniowskinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-25984682789259725332009-09-08T10:30:15.050+01:002009-09-08T10:30:15.050+01:00I love big, smooth coated, slender dogs.

All the smooth, muscular, handsome looking dogs.<br />I also love the soft expression, floppy ears, and softness associated with each of those breeds too.<br />Not a huge fan of small dogs, or long haired dogs either.<br />I'm not at all keen on the way the Pug looks at all.

I don't like 'hardness' as this implies stress/fear. Fortunately my job involves turning stress into calm (that includes the people too!) so I usually get the look I like in the end.Karen Wild, BA(Hons)Dip App Psychhttp://www.karenwild.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-11952868750581632772009-09-07T02:58:14.762+01:002009-09-07T02:58:14.762+01:00I must admit, my faves are pugs & all smooshie...I must admit, my faves are pugs & all smooshie-faced big eyed dogs. I don't like long pointed noses as much. I also very much dislike large dogs, as they scare me. I don't like such a large predatory animal near me or my daughter, lol. Just a phobia, I guess. I find wolves beautiful, but also, very scary looking. So, pretty much I only like small dogs, preferably smooshie-faced button eared cuties that look like little puppies.Heatherhttp://twitter.com/labyrinthlover1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-47060581407568649272009-09-06T20:29:16.642+01:002009-09-06T20:29:16.642+01:00Pug power!
