Some 'ugly' animals are so ugly they are cute but there are some that are just plain ugly, just like there are people, babies, dog, etc that are just plain ugly and nothing will fix that.
There isn't a particular breed that I consider ugly. I have seen cats and dogs of all breeds that are ugly, but hairless ones due to dental issues seem to be the worst(untreated dental disease, if it is treated even if they are toothless they could be drop dead gorgeous. I just don't like the look of an animal with nasty teeth rotten teeth.) It isn't because they are hairless, as I said it isn't the breed, I have seem beautiful Chinese crested and sphinx and ugly animals with plenty of hair.
I don't think ugly was meant in a bad way. I have had friends with ugly animals and each of them loved their animals and even called them ugly but in a loving way(like when I call Nuts or Attitude s-head.) They loved having animals that didn't fit the cute mold because it made then unique and the animals seemed to be a lot friendlier than 'cute' animals. I had a friend who would go to shelters and get the ugliest animals there so they would have a good home and because she knew they wouldn't be adopted because everyone wants 'cute' animals. She loved every last one of her ugly animals(and she called them ugly, I thought some were cute.)
Ugly is in the eye of the beholder and isn't always a negative thing.
