We love our dogs, especially those breeds that have a unique look that doesn’t quite fit the usual canine design. Whether you adore beauty pageant pups or can’t get enough of the dogs that some people may view as having a face or body that only a mother could love, these 10 dog breeds will make you smile (or laugh out loud).

Is it a rug? Is it a mop? No! It’s a Puli, a herding dog that is renowned for its dreadlocks.

Another hairless canine, the Xolo (a.k.a. the Mexican Hairless) has an exotic look that resembles a big-eared bat with legs instead of wings.
Bull Terrier

Though the Bull Terrier may get your attention because it looks like it straightened its face running into a wall, this high-energy pup’s precociousness and “class clown” antics will win your heart.
Dogue de Bordeaux

Remember the Dogue named Beasley who played Hooch in the 1989 film Turner and Hooch? Despite its drooling, snoring and shedding, this wrinkly lovable hulk of a dog will quickly get a leading role in your home.

Also known as the Peruvian Hairless, this canine’s name in the Inca language translates into naked dog. Yep, it definitely looks that way.
