Answer 2

¡Qué perro más feo! The más is there to add more emphasis to the word ugly, however, it is correct.

I believe the English translation would be,

What an ugly dog!

We could say "What a most ugly dog" Eddy - ian-hill, Nov 14, 2012

Answer 3

Try

"¡Qué perro (tan) feo!" maybe

Answer 4

Ian Hill commented

We could say "What a most ugly dog".

This is a literal translation and I believe not what is meant by the Spanish phase using the word "más". I have heard similar phrases for example,

Qué chica más bonita - What a pretty girl, not "what a most pretty girl" as this sounds strange to me. I don't think a literal translation works here.

Answer 5

I agree with the use of "mas"As pointed out by others you hear it often as emphasis, so yes, it translates as "what an ugly dog!", with something of the extra force of, in English, "How (veddy veddy) ugly!!
