Ugly, but I hate schnauzers, so I’m biased. ---

Ug-lee. Schnauzers are warped-looking and hideous. ---

Awww…poor li’l guy. He’s adorable, and the expression on his face says “I don’t understand your hostility towards me”. I’m not even the world’s biggest fan of dogs, but all the hate in this thread for this poor innocent pup makes me want to give him a hug. Did a schnauzer run over y’all’s dog, or what? ---

I hope this doesn’t break up your marriage, **Hal** , because we’ll never come to agreement on this. That said, I say neither cute nor ugly; just funny-looking. [QUOTE=siege] I like shaggy dogs! [/QUOTE] Really? Well I’ve got a shaggy dog story for you. You see, once I was riding my bike through a dicey neighborhood. Then this ice cream truck came by, and it was playing a tune that was familiar, but I couldn’t quite place my finger on. So I stopped the ice cream truck, to ask the driver, who turned out to be a friend of mine from E.S. So… oh, forget it. ---

[QUOTE=Roland Orzabal] Did a schnauzer run over y’all’s dog, or what? [/QUOTE] Nah, we just had a couple when I was a kid. I’ve never had a dog since that had as little personality as those two dogs did, and I’ve never met someone else’s schnauzer that I’ve liked, even a little. ---

[QUOTE=vetbridge] Cute/ugly is way down the list, as far as I’m concerned. Personality? That’s where it’s at. [/QUOTE] Cite: Here is my dog. Su nombre es Pepita.

Ok, thanks for the responses, all. My wife e-mailed me that pic yesterday, telling me that a friend of a friend had to get rid of the pup, and oh wasn’t he just the _cuuuuuutest_ thing ever?? I…disagreed with her assessment. She couldn’t believe that I didn’t think he was the cutest little wuggum snuggums that anyone has ever seen, and in fact found him to be a downright creepy-looking little horrorshow. Since I was informed that I was “the _only_ one who could think that way”, this thread was put up to prove her wrong. I didn’t count the exact vote, but it’s pretty obvious that I’m not alone in recognizing evil when we see it. Thanks everyone! ---

It’s a badly lit picture of a cute dog. If the flash hadn’t caught his eyes that way, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. ---

[QUOTE=Kythereia] Adorable! The ears are a bit weird, but they add to the quirky charm. _gives a belly rub_ [/QUOTE] Yeah-his ears look like they came off a stuffed animal. Other than that, he’s cute. As cute as a continuously pooping/peeing, barking, I-want-attention-now creature can be.
