THE WINNER: World's Most Ugliest Dog

PETALUMA, Calif. — Elwood, a 2-year-old Chinese Crested and Chihuahua mix, was crowned the world's ugliest dog Friday, a distinction that delighted the New Jersey mutt's owners.

Elwood, dark colored and hairless _ save for a mohawk-like puff of white fur on his head _ is often referred to as "Yoda," or "ET," for his resemblance to those famous science fiction characters.

"I think he's the cutest thing that ever lived," said Elwood's owner, Karen Quigley, a resident of Sewell, New Jersey.

Quigley brought Elwood out to compete for the second year at the annual ugly dog contest at the Marin-Sonoma County Fair. Elwood placed second last year.

Most of the competing canines were also Chinese Crested, a breed that features a mohawk, bug eyes and a long, wagging tongue.

Quigley said she rescued Elwood two years ago. "The breeder was going to euthanize him because she thought he was too ugly to sell," said Quigley.

"So ha ha, now Elwood's all over the Internet and people love him and adore him."

Beyond the regal title of ugliest dog, Elwood also earned a $1,000 reward for his owner.

This dog to be precise:
"PeeWee Martini"

that do the same.

:eyes:

That gives a person the right to talk about my mother??

As distasteful as my opinion might be viewed....NO ONE deserves the "yo momma" treatment.

or the lack of it.

your rosie comment was stupid -- you are getting the treatment it deserves.

now your whining about it -- which is really dumb.

You have no problem calling someone else's mother a "pig", but god forbid anyone mention your mother. And BTW, I don't know anyone who takes those "your mama" jokes seriously, so why don't you drop the puffy indignation bit.

So, just when are personal attacks permitted? :shrug:

Comparing another person to an aesthetically-challenged animal and then using slurs like "pig" to describe that person may be your opinion, but it is also a disgusting one.

Whatever. Enjoy your stay.

I don't think I could deal with that look every day. Same for the second best winner....

More power to the people who can.

Small dogs usually live longer and are healthier than giant breeds. Notice that almost all the nominees are Chinese Cresteds, or some mix thereof? Must be some genetic quirk.

The tongue alone is going to give me nightmares!

That's somebody's son -- or daughter -- frankly, I have no idea which or what....

I don't think it was photoshopped, and according to (many of) the websites that host said picture, it's supposed to be a human female. But nobody's perfect...

:shrug: It looks like a gremlin

Me personally, I prefer dogs with fur

I'm sure he's a sweetie. That breed is known for having a very loving demeanor.

ugliness is more than skin deep sometimes. We sometimes err and need to reflect on what true ugliness is.

I think you need a little time to reflect, my dear.

comment.

true ugliness in your posts.

Post a pic of yourself so we can see if your looks match your personality?
