Everyone knows that eyes are said to be \u201cthe windows to the soul” due to how expressive they are.\u00a0 Having seen some adorable puppy dog eyes before, it’s hard to argue against that saying.\u00a0 But did you know that some dogs have a special facial feature that isn’t only super expressive, but also brings out the soulful look in their eyes?<\/p>\n
It is the eyebrows!<\/p>\n
While dogs do not anatomically have eyebrows, many breeds have features on their brow ridge that look deceptively similar enough to call them eyebrows in everyday conversation. These false eyebrows include colored spots, long-growing fur, and wrinkly furrows, all located right above the eyes. These breeds include everything from the powerful Rottweiler to the Schnauzer and everything in between.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Are you ready to see a wide range of dog breeds with all sorts of unique eyebrows? I sure am!<\/p>\n The dog breeds in this section all sport cute bushy eyebrows. Before we dive into the dog videos themselves, let’s take a moment to explore why some breeds come with these furry brows while others do not.<\/p>\n You will notice that all of the dog breeds in this category have wire-haired coats. It turns out that wire-haired breeds have a very special relationship with fuzzy eyebrows. A lot of effort was put into selectively breeding these furry friends to have a coat that was both dense enough to keep them warm in the cold winter months, and coarse enough to prevent disastrous tangles when the dogs run through prickly bushes, resulting in the wire-haired coat texture.<\/p>\n The gene for coat texture is called the R-spondin-2-gene,<\/a> and it also determines if a dog has what is called “furnishings.” In layman’s terms, that is when a dog has charmingly exaggerated eyebrows and a cute little beard. This makes it impossible for these furnishings to exist outside the wire-haired coat texture.<\/p>\n With our little science moment out of the way, let\u2019s move on to the best part of this article \u2013 looking at cute dog videos!<\/p>\n While these dogs may be little, the amount of spunk they possess is as large as their comically oversized eyebrows.<\/p>\n Scottish terriers are highly energetic and fiercely independent, which means they require A LOT of playtime to keep them entertained and on their best behavior! Keep in mind that even if you do have infinite amounts of time to devote to playing with this pooch, it doesn’t necessarily mean that every moment will be fun and games.<\/p>\n These dogs can rival a human teenager when it comes to moodiness. Scotties can coexist peacefully with family members as long as the humans of the house have enough maturity to recognize when their dog is not in the mood to cuddle<\/a>. However, this breed is not recommended for families with young children who can’t understand the poor Scottie’s need for personal boundaries.<\/p>\n Scottish terriers also require a lot of grooming, especially if you want them to have the fanciest eyebrows in town! To keep them looking perfect, you\u2019ll have to find a dog groomer with special eyebrow-grooming skills like the one in the video below:<\/p>\n11 Breeds with Long-Furred Eyebrows<\/h2>\n
