For every cute dog in the world, there is an ugly one too. Not all dog breeds are pleasing to the eyes. Since beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, you may not completely agree with our list. However, we have done our very best to make the list as unbiased as possible. The list isn\u00b4t in any particular order.<\/p>\n

1. Bedlington Terrier<\/h3>\n
\"\"
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Perhaps, this Terrier would fare better in the looks department if it didn\u00b4t have its face covered by a peculiar Mohawk? This breed of small dog is named after the mining town of Bedlington, Northumberland in North East England. Are the people there as ugly as the dog?<\/p>\n

2. Chihuahua<\/h3>\n
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There is absolutely no reason to like this dog. The only reason it is so popular is because of the socialite, Paris Hilton. She carried her Chihuahua around in her bag like it were a fashion accessory. And, it is because of her that many people started adopting the dog. Paris Hilton shouldn\u2019t be anyone\u00b4s idol.<\/p>\n

3. Brussels Griffon<\/h3>\n
\"\"
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Doesn\u00b4t this dog resemble the character, ewok, from the Star Wars film franchise? Perhaps, this dog could prove to be a very good guard dog. Thieves would run away immediately at the sight of this ugly looking four legged creature.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. Standard Schnauzer<\/h3>\n
\"\"
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Not every man can look good sporting a long and scraggly beard. Hence, why would dogs even bother? This dog breed originated in Germany in the 15th<\/sup> and 16th<\/sup> Century. Although the schnauzer is considered a terrier-type dog, it doesn\u00b4t have the typical terrier temperament.<\/p>\n

5. Boston Terrier<\/h3>\n
\"\"
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Boston Terrier looks like a pug, but it is a lot bigger. It is a breed of dog that originated in the United States. Nicknamed the \u00a8American Gentleman, \u00a8<\/em>the Boston Terrier was accepted in 1893 by the American Kennel Club as a non-sporting breed. Today, it is accepted by us as an ugly dog.<\/p>\n

6. Afghan Hound<\/h3>\n
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We wonder why people who get an Afghan hound for a pet. The dog bears a unique figure and is easily distinguished by its thick, fine, silky coat and ring curled tail. It also has a face that doesn\u00b4t go with its body at all.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

7. Dogue De Bordeaux<\/h3>\n
\"\"
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Doesn\u00b4t this dog remind you of a guy who really let himself go in college? The Dogue De Bordeaux is basically just a large dog from the French Mastiff breed. It is one of the most ancient French dog breeds.<\/p>\n

8. Pocket Pitbull<\/h3>\n
\"\"
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This particular Pocket Pitbull is truly unfortunate. After all, it does have a very deformed body. For a pitbull, it looks anything but scary. It is a recently formed companion dog breed and has only been recognized by the United Kennel Club since July 15, 2013.<\/p>\n

9. Italian Greyhound<\/h3>\n
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Italian Greyhound looks really, really, stupid with its tiny head on its huge body. It also looks weird with those long legs. They are in the toy group in the UK and US; however, they are categorized in the sight hound group in the FCI.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

10. Dandie Dinmont Terrier<\/h3>\n
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We have a difficult time believing that there are people that actually like this dog. The Dandie Dinmont Terrier is a small Scottish breed of dog in the terrier family. They are usually distinguished by their distinctive \u00a8top-knot\u00a8 of hair on the head.<\/p>\n

11. Bostalian<\/h3>\n
\"\"
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Bostalian is a hybrid dog created from the mix of the Boston Terrier with the Italian Greyhound. No wonder it lacks tremendously in the looks department. Perhaps, it fares well in the personality department?<\/p>\n

12. Azawakh<\/h3>\n
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Does the Azawakh normally look like this? It appears as though it has been poorly fed. The sighthound livestock guardian breed of dog from West Africa definitely looks like it needs to eat properly. We prefer our dogs big and strong; we don\u00b4t want them looking like skeletons.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

13. Whippet<\/h3>\n
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Dogs with creepy long faces really freak us out. The Whippet is another hungry looking dog with a creepy long face. Can we start a GoFundMe profile to feed these dogs? The Whippets originally descended from greyhounds in England.<\/p>\n

14. American Staghound<\/h3>\n
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The American Staghound looks like a homeless dog that hasn\u00b4t had a proper meal and bath in a long, long time. It is a type of sighthound that is used to pursue stags. The American Staghound is not recognized as a proper breed yet. We hope they stop reproducing.<\/p>\n

15. Pug<\/h3>\n
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We have no idea why the pug is popular. It is anything but cute. The pug is a breed of dog with a wrinkly, short-muzzled face, and curled tail. Originally from China, the pug is known to be charming, playful, docile, clever, quiet and sociable.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

16. Bullmastiff<\/h3>\n
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One look at the bullmastiff and you start wondering if it is depressed and afraid at the same time at all times. This breed of dog shares the characteristics of molosser dogs. They were originally developed in the 19th<\/sup> Century by gamekeepers to guard estates.<\/p>\n

17. Affenpinscher<\/h3>\n
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Doesn\u00b4t the Affenpinscher look like baby Chewbacca in black? Also popularly referred to as the Monkey Terrier, the Affenpinscher is a terrier-like toy breed of dog.<\/p>\n

18. Crestoxie<\/h3>\n
\"\"
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Although the Crestoxie is one ugly looking dog, we must admit that its shiny fur is quite attractive. The Crestoxie is a mix between a Chinese Crested and a Dachshund purebred; it is basically a hybrid dog.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

19. Pharaoh Hound<\/h3>\n
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It seems like the huge-eared Pharaoh got a spray tan. You must have noticed by now that any dog that is called \u00a8something\u00a8 hound lacks in the looks department. Originally from Malta, this breed of dog is traditionally used for hunting rabbit in the Maltese Islands.<\/p>\n

20. Lowchen<\/h3>\n
\"\"
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We have no idea what the Lowchen is hiding under that long fur. However, we do know that it is nothing impressive. The small dog is considered by many registries as a toy dog. The American Kennel Club categorizes it as a non-sporting dog.<\/p>\n

21. Japanese Chin<\/h3>\n
\"\"
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Doesn\u00b4t the Japanese Chin look like it is from a different planet? Although it is ugly, this breed of dog has done well to enhance its reputation by being a loyal companion dog and a lap dog. What it lacks in looks, it makes up for it in companionship and loyalty.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

22. Japanese Terrier<\/h3>\n
\"\"
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Did The Almighty run out of black ink while creating the Japanese Terrier? Also referred to as the Nippon Terrier, the Japanese Terrier is a small terrier believed to be a descendant of the progeny of fox terrier types, pointers, and indigenous Japanese dogs.<\/p>\n

23. Borzoi<\/h3>\n
\"\"
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We are glad that the Borzoi at least has some fur on its skinny body to keep itself warm during chilly times. The Borzoi is a sore to the eyes. Also called the Russian wolfhound, the Borzoi is known to be a descendant of dogs brought to Russia from central Asian countries.<\/p>\n

24. Irish Wolfhound<\/h3>\n
\"\"
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Not only is the Irish Wolfhound ugly to look at, it is also extremely humongous\u2014almost monstrous. It could easily kill us in our sleep. Hence, why should we bother with this breed? Did you know that the Irish wolfhound was originally used in war to drag men off horses and chariots?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

25. Bull Terrier<\/h3>\n
\"\"
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The bull terrier is originally from England. Small-eyed with an egg-shaped head, the top of the skull of the Bull Terrier is almost flat. Also known as The White Cavalier, Gladiator, and Bully, this breed usually has a lifespan of 11-14 years.<\/p>\n

26. Komondor<\/h3>\n
\"\"
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Popularly referred to as the Hungarian sheepdog, the Komondor is a white-colored Hungarian breed of livestock guardian dog with a long, corded coat. Why does this dog look like a mop for Christ\u00b4s sake? On the positive side, the Komondor could be helpful during cleanup.<\/p>\n

27. Puli<\/h3>\n
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Puli basically looks like a smaller form of the Komondor. It has a lot of things in common with the Komondor. Like the Komondor, the Puli also hails from Hungary. And, like the Komondor, the Puli is ugly, to say the least.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

28. Xoloitzcuintli<\/h3>\n
\"\"
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

No wonder this dog has this name. After all, who would want to have this dog as their companion? The Xoloitzcuintli looks more like a jackal than a dog. The hairless dog is also popularly referred to as the Mexican hairless dog in English-speaking countries.<\/p>\n

29. Peruvian Inca Orchid<\/h3>\n
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Peruvian Inca Orchid is a breed of dog bearing origins in Peruvian pre-Inca cultures. Just like the Mexican hairless dog, the Peruvian Inca Orchid is also one of several breeds of hairless dog.<\/p>\n

30. American Hairless Terrier<\/h3>\n
\"\"
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We simply can\u00b4t stand hairless dogs. Hence, we are not big fans of the American Hairless Terrier. This one looks like it has small pox or some other disease. We wouldn\u00b4t want to be anywhere near this creature.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

31. Chinese Crested<\/h3>\n
fannntastic.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Chinese Crested bears a close resemblance to a hairy pony. However, it also comes in a hairless state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
