Basically im looking for Standard vs what's out there that is extreme. there are dogs out there whose heads are as big if not bigger than their necks.

I think what you describe is what im thinking of more blocky than really huge... though I like more of the terrierishness in the head...like Spicy's dog Realm...

I wish I'd seen this before! I have two favorite looks - pretty much obvious from my current dogs

I used to prefer Sadie's style with the foxy face and fluffy hair. Then as I had to groom her and I learned to love pitties, I fell in love with a thicker face and short hair. I LOVE how muscular Hadley is. I absolutely think her body is gorgeous - I love the look of pits, ridgebacks, viszla, any of the lean muscular dogs.

I prefer floppy ears.

I love breeds that have substance and masculinity... I also love dogs with jowels, wrinkles, and just overall mastiff-types.. and usually the large/giant breeds get to me.

- Bordeaux
- Boerboel
- Mastiff
- Cane Corso
- American Bulldog..

and etc.

I love perked up ears and a curled tail, so basically I love anything in the Spitz family, or that looks like a wolf or a fox.

As for fur, I don't like mustaches on humans and definitely not on dogs! I do tend to love fluff on the neck, tail, and thigh. I tend to stray from any animal with a flat face, to put it nicely. xD I also highly dislike wrinkles or floppy skin.

I don't only like the look of Spitzes, though. I love the face of a Pit, I like Papillons/Phalenes. I've grown to love hairless Chinese Crests, Cavaliers.

My GSD doesn't have a big head. I don't like the big, blocky heads. I prefer an Am-showlines type head. I love my boy's head even though he as almost no Am lines in him.

I like long noses, short coats and a well muscled, athletic build. Though, considering the breed I own, I guess that's no surprise. Dobes are also a favorite of mine, along with the other "greyhound-like" sighthounds.

I like dogs with features that scream to the world, lets go play all day. Lets take a five mile hike and then stop at a park for an hour of catch. You can call it athletic looking.

Depth of heart
Fluffy
Long tails
Longish faces, moreso not box heads or dogs that look like ugly people
