Flat face or pointy nose ??

After a discussion I had today about different breeds we have owned or would own ,we worked out my O/H does not like pointy nosed dogs.. example ;she would own a rottie but not a dode i asked why and she said the pointy nose ...
So are you a flat face freak ?
or a pointy nose nut ?

I think I prefer pointier nosed dogs, but that is purely down to the more "mushed" faced dogs tend to have breathing difficulties moreso than the pointier faced dogs don't they?

They suffer more in hot weather as they can struggle to regulate their temperature more than the long nosed ones, but they shouldn't have breathing problems in general

Cool - I knew I'd read/heard something is more difficult for them

On the whole like breeds (Greyhounds/labs/GSD's) that do not have 'flat' faces. Although again friends of mine who have boxers or rotties who are wonderful, and I wouldn't mind having one myself.
