No dreads on a dog.

Why do the dogs change over time?  That Bull Terrier looks freaking sweet in that old pic.  Looked athletic.

Because people don't know when to stop breeding them.

I think the Peruvian Inca is very handsome for a dog. Reminds me of Anubis. Chinese Crested can be very ugly looking though sometimes. Same with the Xolo. Inca can be too, but from my observations irl, they don't grow much hair, so they don't look as scraggly.

Because people thought it looked cute. How did we get from there to here. That is some severe skull malformation. But it became a desirable trait, so they kept breeding them until they looked like what they do now.

Even Labradors are having problems. They're just so overbred that now they're becoming more aggressive and have more cases of hip dysphasia.

Peruvian Inca, I just looked it up.  I personally think it looks like it died and crawled back to life.... sorry, but it looks creepy. 

Xolo is apparently a phone.

Makes you wonder how breeding works sometimes and how they can predict traits will go where and what not.

[Death Blossom]

Haha, it is creepy looking. But I'm weird, and I'm a vet major. They're all cute to us. Even the messed up ones. A phone you say, must be a Mexican brand :p

Pugs are an ugly cute. But they too are victim of overbreeding:

So cute and lean. To fat and stocky.

Pugs can look cute at times, but I would prefer not to have one.

Chihuahuas.... they ugly or cute?  I think it can go both ways.

Breeding before was taking the dogs that were the best representation of te breed, temperament, intelligence, coat and healthwise. A bunch of factors taken into account to make sure the best puppies could come from the parents.

But when breeds got popular, this was forgon or brushed over in order to get the most puppies out quicker. Dogs that maybe weren't the most desirable were bred anyway, despite health problems. Leading to puppies having health problems. But then, say with the pug, people kept buying puppies with the double curled tail (which can lead to paralysis) and so breeders keep trying to make puppies like that because it's what sells. Then they end up with fat, wrinkley, double curled, genetic abominations.

This thing looks like a lamb.

Depends on the Chihuahua. If they're little spawns of Satan, no. If they're sweet dogs...passable. Haha. I call them big rats. Some are cute, If they don't have that weird spine and knobby toes. Fat Chihuahua's are ugly as fuuuuuuuug. They're a pain really. But they can be pretty cute sometimes.

[Anyponedrawn]

Thank you for explaining that.  I guess you are the best person to ask, Ms. Vet Expert.

[Wolfwood]

I know what Chihuahua's are.  They are like giant rats.  I always see them bug-eyed.  I don't think they are a good looking breed.

[Death Blossom]

Awwwwwwww!!! I love that breed. I always forget what it's called, but for some reason, I like it haha. I don't see them around a lot. I think their name begins with a b.

I'm no expert, just kinda info from what I've picked up.

Bugged eyes Chihuahua's XD they're funny looking. There's a fine line with the big eyes between cute and "I'm really creeped out, stop looking at me".

[Anyponedrawn]

It's a Bedington Terrier or something.... I think.
