I would of said back to them 'have you taken a look in the mirror yourself recently' and walked off.

Anyway in my eyes it is better to be ugly on the outside and beautiful on the inside rather than the other way round !!

I get that with my bullmastiffs, i have a very good fiend who always calls them ugly...so to get back at him when Lollie had her puppies last year we named one after him....Bob....!!!!
He then said that Bob was gorgeous and would have a word said against him....but still said bullies were ugly.
You just can't win.

Well they do say beauty is in the eye of the beholder lol. He was abrupt but you got to give credit for being honest, Staffords are not everybodys cup of tea and afterall its just an opinion doesnt count for much.

I wouldnt have a problem with somebody finding Staffords unattractive but its probably the way he said it.

For I have mentioned before that Golden Retrievers are the one breed I probably find most unattractive in a physical sense, now I know that this statement would piss off golden retriever owners on its own but doubly so if I said it the way your colleague did.

I can often speak my mind without realising the consequences as that is just what I am like. But each to their own, for every one person who finds our wonderful breed unattractive there will be 5 who think them wonderful! Just think of it as his loss and our gain eh lol.

Does this person have kids? If so why dont you say "I saw your son/daughter today what an ugly little fecker he/she was" lmfao. That should make him think twice lol.

No such thing as an ugly dog, someone called benj a doormat the other day but Im sure she meant it in a caring way- i think not- wish i had dared call her squaling baby something - what would she have felt like.

Believe me there is lol. I saw a Stafford X Daschaund (I like both breeds) at the sops last week and it was awful. It was 8" tall but weighed 30lbs its belly touched the ground and I can honestly say it was the oddest looking thing I have seen.

Surely there must be ugly dogs just like you get ugly people. Not agreeing with how it was said to Lel but everybody has their opinions on what is nice and I can honestly say that there are several breeds of dog that I find completly ugly.

I dont think any dog is ugly, all dogs are beautiful if not in their looks, in their temperment.
