Most of the aesthetic absurdities we do to dogs aren't even "cute" to me, anyway. They're sort of horrifying. And I think it's entirely unreasonable. It's like torture, visited over generations.

Huskies/Malamutes are very cute, but yeah, I see a lot of people not knowing what they're doing. I especially like watching people put those harness leashes on them, and then wonder why they're getting pulled down the street. Also, when you go on petfinder or other sites there are a LOT of these types of dogs that say "no cats" next to them, which indicates a high prey drive. That's something people need to keep in mind, too. And lots of highly intelligent dogs just aren't good pets for a lot of people.
