dog breeds you don't get

[Anonymous]

This is probably a mean thread, I don't care. I find NOTHING about pugs cute or attractive or desirable. I know so many people love them but I just can't get on board! You?

I am a huge dog lover, but yorkies, cocker spaniels, and pomeranians don't appeal to me at all. I know this is blasphemy in this area, but I also don't see the appeal of all the doodle mixes. Sure some of them seem like sweet dogs, but they would not be on my list of breeds to adopt.

English bulldogs (I think it's incredibly cruel to breed them for traits that basically doom them to a life of misery) and pugs (same reason).

Jack Russels. Every single one I've met has been a little a-hole.

Yep. I like the more laid back small dogs - any breed. But the high strung yappy ones who just can't settle down. Not my cup of tea.

Cocker Spaniels I can deal but Cockapoos. And yeah the blank-a-doodle thing, never really saw the appeal, tbh.

^Cockapoos - no.

Yes, where I'm from, barns have labs, GSDs, etc. Here, there are so many Jack Russells at barns, and they're all terrible dogs.

Italian greyhound. My friend has one and the thing is so fragile yet hyper so it breaks its leg or sprains something every time it jumps.

The lack of shedding is attractive, but I think all the doodles are ugly, and every one I've met is hyper and crazy. Don't want one.

Pit bulls. Why take the chance?

PP: I rode when I was a kid, so I was exposed to a lot of them through that. I feel like every barn/stable had a resident Jack Russell.

My pug makes me laugh every single day. He has the greatest personality. But obviously mine is the best one!

I am saddened for dogs that have been overbred for purely fanciful reasons. Like the squished in faces, the walking bathmats, etc.

The only dogs should be ones that have evolved, with man's help, for working purposes, and who are therefore reasonably healthy and hardy. They should continue to be worked so the breed doesn't lose those traits.

Chihuahuas, and golden doodles. I find them both vicious and aggressive.

Pugs, bulldogs, and doodles. I didn't realize I was in such company.
