Worlds Ugliest Dog

Yoda's short tufts of hair, protruding tongue, and long, seemingly hairless legs were enough to earn it the World's Ugliest Dog title at a Northern California fair.

The 14-year-old Chinese crested and Chihuahua mix won the honour at the 23rd annual contest at the Sonoma Marin Fair.

Owner Terry Schumacher of Hanford, California, says the one kilogram dog has come a long way since she was found abandoned behind an apartment building. Schumacher says she first thought the pooch was a rat.

Yoda's distinction comes a year after a one-eyed Chihuahua named Princess Abby claimed victory. A pedigree Chinese crested won in 2008 and another Chinese crested and Chihuahua mix was the ugliest in 2007.

In past years, the winner's owner has received a US$1000 cheque.

Poor thing, unfortunate genetics. I would still love it, no dog is Worlds Ugliest to me (:

That's kinda how Mr Winkles got his start.

He kinda reminds me of the Land Striders from The Dark Crystal. (Excellent movie btw)

I don't think I've ever seen a dog that ugly in my entire life. Didn't he die about 6 years ago?

i found that dog quite sexy, but hey maybe thats just me.

i remember my friends neighbour had a really ugly dog, as in you couldnt look at it without laughing out loud(poor dog).
it looked liked lassie , except it had really wonky teeth and cross eyes.
