I've always liked Border Collies (they kinda look like beautiful mutts to me), Dobermans (especially the redish ones when their ears are up), Bernese Mountain Dogs (love their jolly faces, shaggy fur, and coloring), Siberian Huskies (especially when they have blue eyes), labrador retrievers (such a happy go lucky family dog look), bull terriers, salukis, basset hounds, and many more.

Breeds I'm less of a fan of (just appearance wise) are labradoodles, certain terriers (only when it looks like they have a mustache big enough to get spaghetti caught in it), old english sheepdogs, boster terriers, bulldogs, etc.

How about all of you?

Smooth Collies!! Just love the look.. love the roughs too, but prefer smooths...

I also love Aussies, Bernese Mountain Dogs, boxers, bull mastiffs!! Dobies... Tibetan Mastiffs...

And while I typically don't like dogs with furry/shaggy faces, I for some reason think German Wirehaired Pointers are beautiful!.. and cute!!..

There are a lot more too.. but these are the ones that popped into my head...lol

I just like dogs. I hope to have one some day.

Edited to say: I always love to see photos of Orangutango's Dance, but I am not sure what breed she is. I love her color and her little white feet!

I don't think there is anything as beautiful as a freshly groomed poodle, but of course no one here would expect me to say anything else. :p

Of course I'd choose Aussie's first - blue merles mainly. ;)
But there are so many other breeds (and mixed breeds) out there that are so pretty. All of the breeds named above I like. So for me this is an impossible question. :)

I think Great Pyreneses are gorgeous dogs!

Dobermans first, and then in no particular order:
Leonbergers
Tollers
Shelties
Rough Collies
Border Collies (working)
Belgian Shepherds (Terv, Groen, & Mal... Laekenois are too scruffy for me, lol)
Dalmatians
Siberian Huskies

Cassiesmom, Dance is a Toller. :)

I think all dogs are pretty in their own way, BUT there are a few breeds that make me drool.

I enjoy a Great Dane with a beautiful head.

A well coated Aussie.(this is my Talon's daddy)

A brindle Afghan Hound.

A Saint with a fluffy squishy face.

There are a lot more, but those are my top favorites.

I'm not sure I would call them all pretty, but physically appealing (because some are more cute than pretty).
Spitz
Toller
Shih-tzu
Poodle
Tibetan Spaniel
Shiba Inu
Bernese Mountain Dog
Chow Chow

I think those are the dogs that would make me pull over and stare. :)

IRISH WOLFHOUNDS!
I don't know what it is, but this breed is just to die for. I plan on having one when I get my own place.

I also like Tollers, Goldens (the ones with the big thick light colored coat), Bernese Mt. Dogs, St. Bernards, Wirehaired Pointing Griffons, Afghans, Salukis, Borzois... anything big and hairy! :p

American Pit Bull Terriers
Blue heelers
Boston Terriers
Boxers
Chihuahuas
Dachshunds
English Bulldogs
Great Danes
Pugs
Shih Tzus

Not in any particular order, except for the APBT's. They are my #1 breed of choice. I think they are the total package as far as looks, personality, temperment, etc. goes.

I never met a dog that wasn't beautiful (in my eyes).

Of course I think my Logan is gorgeous (no justice in pictures when you run like a madwoman for safety from a camera).

But I will admit, Border Collies and Tollers (:love: Dance) make my heart sing with joy.

:love::love: to everyone's pup!

I think all dogs are pretty when well taken care of. It makes me sad to see a dog mistreated because they really are such noble and loyal creatures and they dont ask for much out of life really.
I :love: dogs! Someday...lol

I would have to say...them all. I believe they are all beautiful. I was known as the child and now adult who always was drawn to the "ugly mutt" that no one else wanted. If I had to chose what breeds attracted me most...
Boxers obviously
Chihuahuas
Great Danes
Mastiffs of all kinds
English Bull Dogs
French Bull Dogs

Going on looks alone, which is no way to pick out a dog, I'd have to say
Dalmatians
American Pit Bull Terriers
Great Danes
Ibizan Hounds
Bouvier des Flandres
Old English Sheepdogs
Standard Poodles in continental clip
Irish Wolfhounds
Catahoula Leopard Dogs
Pug/Beagle mixes
Dobermans
Malinois
Chihuahua

and dogs that I don't particularly find attractive,
Bichon Frise
most long haired dogs under 15 pounds

that is just my own opinion.

I would have to go along with a couple of others - all of them! Since most of mine are not purebred, I probably couldn't even pick a breed as such. Christy says I always choose a dog that is "different" looking. I am not sure what that means but I guess my standards are not most peoples.

I'm with Ashley and Diana on this one.
I think they all are beautiful!


I have to say that the coloring that I find the prettiest is blue merle.

I think it goes without saying that I like sighthounds. Of them, Borzoi have to be my absolute favorite. They really are the perfect dog for me. And they are just stunning to look at, too!

Here's my gorgeous Manero:
