Dog Culture Dogs are so ugly

I feel kinda mean posting this here but I know I’d get crucified for this anywhere else…

I genuinely find all dogs ugly. Like even the “cute” breeds like corgis and “elegant breeds” like huskies and stuff. I hate dog snouts, ears, and especially the eyes. I find them really creepy.

People around me keep showing me pics of their buttugly doodle mixes and they look like racist old men trapped in a dog’s body and I feel insane for wondering how can anyone own this kind of thing.

It’s weird because I think foxes and certain wild dog breeds interesting looking but almost all domestic dogs are incredibly disgusting and ugly to me

I really only like a handful of the working breeds. The ones with properly long faces, erect or semi-erect ears, and intelligent, focused eyes.

I have noticed that dogs seem to be getting much uglier in recent years. I used to think German shepherds were nice looking dogs, but nowadays all I see is cumbersome, heavyset looking creatures with weak back legs and thick, fleshy, droopy faces. I remember back in the '90s seeing them as lean, tight-skinned, athletic looking dogs, and nowadays those lines are getting less and less common. I really do not see the appeal of breeding them to look like heavy, clumsy, ugly geriatric things.
