5. Chinese Shar Pei
Well, we’ve criticized bulging eyes and baldness, so now we’ve got to take into account wrinkles. Originally developed as a Chinese farm dog the Chinese Shar Pei could well be the mascot for unsuccessful anti-wrinkle creams. Adorable: yes. Sweet natured: naturally. Ugly: no doubt about it. |

4. Standard Schnauzer
It’s not that the Schnauzer is ugly – it’s just that this breed of dog never looks happy. With a bearded appearance that’s reminiscent of a gruff and disapproving uncle, and an angular head that looks like it’s been crudely carved from a block of wood, the Standard Schnauzer is never going to be described as a canine pretty boy. |

3. Shih Tzu
Whilst it may appear inconsistent after criticizing bald dogs, the Shih Tzu takes hirsuteness to an unnecessary extreme. Also, having the name Shih Tzu – this dog deserves to have the number three position on this list of ugly dogs |

2. Pug
The phrase “plug-ugly” came about through an etymology that relates back to street gangs in the 1850s. However, over the century and half since this reference originated, the term has neologistically mutated into pug-ugly. One look at the number two dog in this list is sufficient explanation as to where that reference originated. Noted for its sunny disposition and winning personality, it is one of those dogs that comes close to having its nostrils point the wrong way and runs the danger of drowning if it goes out in the rain. |

1. Chinese Crested
No one condones picking on the bald – but it’s not natural in a dog. Dogs are supposed to have hair, moult, and need grooming. They shouldn’t need polishing. |
