Just curious of what certain traits of an animals body are attractive to others? These are the physical traits that I find most attractive with dogs; I like short haired breeds the most, absolutely love black and white fur mixes; as well as fully pointed ears, or ears that are floppy, but still slightly stand up; a wide forehead and short snout is attractive as well; i prefer large breed dogs that are muscular, with sleek fur, and to be honest I find a docked tail attractive to a certain point.. to sum it up, really the most attractive breed to me would be the Pitbull or Rottweiler..
I've found out I'm kind of a leg man; the longer the better, with short fur to show the muscle definition (but not always).
I love canines with pointed, upright ears, especially when the dog uses them to express his/her feelings. I also like a smooth, shiny (but not extremely short) coat. A sturdy, muscular build is good , too. Combine the above with an exotic-looking "paint job'" and I couldn't ask for more as far as looks are concerned. I had a pair like that some years ago and they never failed to turn heads whenever I took them out in public.
The best part was that they both had rock-solid temperaments and were affectionate and cuddly. They were mutts, Australian cattledog mixes, who looked like they were brother and sister, even though they came from different parts of the country.
I do miss them.
Let's see:
Pointed highly expressive ears, check.
Short shiny white coat, check.
High contrast "paint job", check.
Big well defined muscles, check.
Broad soft nose, check.
Loves "high intensity" lip work, check.
Equipped to meet or exceed any capacity that he is ever likely to see, check.
We did miss the short snout and tail though because he's a Paint Horse.
