    One of the ugliest dog breeds, the bulldog’s ugliness has caused him health problems. Its flattened face and lower jaw makes it difficult for it to breathe properly and sometimes its huge head requires the puppy to be delivered by caesarean section. Its eyesight is often poor, it can’t stand hot weather, even in a hot room, but it can’t stand the cold either. Therefore, the bulldog is an indoor dog because the temperature can be controlled. The dog has a barrel-shaped body and short, striped legs and a tail that is sometimes curled on its back like that of a pig.

    Despite both its looks and the fact that it was developed to prey on bulls, the breed is gentle and lovable while retaining its original traits of bravery and endurance. It is 12 to 16 inches tall at the shoulder and weighs 49 to 55 pounds. Its short coat is easy to care for, although the folds around its face need to be kept clean. The bulldog’s health problems limit its lifespan to just eight years or so.

    In 2017, a Neapolitan pet named Martha beat all those Chinese crested dogs at California’s Sonoma-Marin Fair, the Ugliest Dog in the World. There is a good reason for this. Neapolitan mastiffs have monstrously large heads filled with folds and holsters, permanently wrinkled foreheads, and sad eyes. There are even wrinkles around its front paws. A breed developed in Italy as a guardian, it is large and powerful, with a shoulder height of 26 to 29 inches and a weight of 110 to 150 pounds. A really big male can lift weights at 200 pounds. It has a long back, a thick neck, and a broad chest covered with a thick but hard coat.

    The Neapolitan mastiff is a guard dog that likes to be around the family and is a good dog for families with children. However, it sheds, drools a lot, and needs protection from the heat. This big ugly dog ​​faces health problems like hip dysplasia and rarely lives past 10 years. Despite their large size, the Neapolitan Mastiff can do well in an apartment but still requires a lot of exercise.
