Beauty is in the eye of the beholer, but we all have our reasoning for thinking something is gorgeous. I'd like to know the reasons behind the attractions to cats and dogs that look like they've run into one too many walls face first.
I'm NOT insulting the breeds, but I do wonder, sparked by my friend claiming her dog *that I find absolutely GORGEOUS* is ugly, and that her purebred dog *Lhasa apso, she says, but the dog's appearance says otherwise* course-curly-coated blonde flatfaced dog is prettier than this long legged mutt with a short yet plush *think teddy-bear fur* coat and a nose more than a cm out from her forehead.*these dogs are half siblings, btw* I don't see it and I couldn't get her to tell me why the dog I thought was pretty was bellow the level of this short legged beast with a horrible underbite that makes her look incredibly mean *and yes, she's mean*
I'm not saying anyone's wrong, I just don't get the idea of a dog/cat with a lack of face, really.

Before any idiot asks why I'd ask this, why do you ask a person with opposite religious beleifs than you why that's what they beleive?
Because I WANT to understand every point of veiw that I can, and you can't do that without asking what you need to know.

I can relate to the "it's so ugly it's cute" thing. And thank you for the good responses, as while I'm typing this up not one person has called me stupid for asking. Anyone who likes the kind of dogs with longer faces like retrievers, labs, poms, papillons, it'd be nice to hear y'all's side, too.

Have you ever heard the saying "It's so ugly it's cute"? Well that is how I can describe my reason for liking flat faced animals.

You already got it right - beauty is in the eye of the beholder! I love my Boxers, and also admire Boston Terriers & Bulmastiffs. A fluffly Poodle or Old English Sheepdog gets a big *yawn* from me. Why - who knows? I also would chose an old International Scout or '66 to '77 Ford Bronco over any new Lexus SUV, and love my handsome gray-haired man. These are things that make me happy just because they do!

I like them because I think they are cute. And I don't feel the need to justify my answer.

Flat-faced pets are easier to fold and put in carry-on luggage
