And if that’s just not enough ugly for you, here are all the other contestants.
N.J. Dog Crowned World’s Ugliest
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.
It’s Stripe!
Ugly, Beauty all in the eyes of the beholder.
Breeder: “euthanize him … too ugly to sell”
Owner: “cutest thing that ever lived”
Win-Win
“I think he’s the cutest thing that ever lived,” said Elwood’s owner, Karen Quigley, a resident of Sewell, New Jersey.
Then why enter him in an Ugly Dog Contest ?????
#3 Amazing how the mind works.
#4, Maybe the owner was the one standing in line with a bag of PAL dog food.
#5 I think it was the breeder buying the PAL.
Am I the only one who’s seeing Yoda? That pooch is right out of Star Wars!
