That's true, some are sooo ugly they are cute but this dog was useless. My husband and a couple of our kids were out bike riding at a park by the lake. This poor skinny bird dog comes up to them looking for a friend. They felt sorry for the dog and brought him home. We found out later why somebody dumped that dog at the lake. We ended up taking him to the local humane society, they said that they were full up and would take him but kill him that day. Grrrrr Took the stupid dog back home and started bribing friends to take him. Finally paid a friend that hunts and has bird dogs $100 to take the dog. I don't want to know what happened after that.
