A loving owner will never call his four-footed dog terrible or ugly, even if the other passers-by have an unusual look of astonishment or laughter. But some of the owners decided to use the ugly kind of their pets with profit, proudly showing them to the public on the podium. In California, for the twenty-fourth year in a row, owners of such animals have gathered to determine the winner in this unusual nomination. In a small town Petalum, a festival is held, and the competition of the ugliest dogs is part of this great show for dog breeders.
On the criticism, which is constantly pursued by this event on the Internet and the press, its organizers respond with their arguments. They believe that ugly-looking dogs are extremely intelligent and obedient, and sometimes even much better in nature than thoroughbred animals. Here they can turn into a real dog star. It should be noted that for some participants of the show, it was a turning point in their hard life. Now photos of these handsome men are dazzling on the Internet, they are easy to meet in many newspapers, and some of our heroes can be seen now even on the big screen.
The funniest participants in the competition of ugly dogs:
- The winner of 2013 is the dog Wally. More often in Petaluma the ugliest representatives of such breeds of dogs - chihuahua , the Chinese crested and their admixtures won. But this year the winner turned out to be a real mongrel. Dog Wally has in his blood the genes of a boxer, beagle and a bit from a basset hound. Here are just the proportions of his physique a little strange. If the head of an animal is large and heavy, then its parents endowed it with paws too small, and they make the dog's walk "duck". We must admit that Wally does not look ugly or scary at all, rather he is a funny and sweet dog. The hostess is quite happy that she won the contest. She became richer for as much as 1500 dollars, and received for her pet an annual supply of feed.
- But Wally is very far away from the famous Peruvian naked dog, nicknamed Sam, the champion of 2003-2005. He even called the Guinness Book of Records "the most terrible dog of all time". This title brought the animal such great fame that the image of the champion can now be found even on many T-shirts. The white patch on his head was all his woolen cover. In addition, the poor animal was blind, covered with sores and warts.
- Another funny champion was named Elwood. A punk like punk has a cool Iroquois on his head, and is completely bald. His tongue constantly hangs out on the left side. It is in this form of Elwood can be seen on the numerous photos that filled the Internet since 2007. Interestingly, the hostess Karen saved the puppy in childhood, when the first owner wanted to kill him. He believed that because of the ugly appearance of the animal can not be a normal future.
- Yoda was able not only to win one day in the competition in California, but also made a small career in film, starring periodically in horror films. Incomparable beauty so impressed viewers and judges in 2011, that she was able to get ahead of her competitors.
- Pabst had one of his parents a boxer , but he was not a purebred dog. It was this champion of 2009 who became the first dog to win the title without having a noble genealogy. Curved jaw and scar from a large burn "decorated" this applicant. And the nails, which grew in different directions, completed the picture. Those who saw him close, claimed that his face looks like the face of an inveterate drunkard.
- In 2009, the main competition for Pabst was Miss Ellie, originally from Tennessee. She won among the thoroughbred dogs, but the "charm" of the baby that year was not enough to win the main prize.
- The beautiful chihuahua with the amazing name Princess Abby Francis had crooked legs and a back, an almost blind left eye and an incorrect bite. But she was able to enchant a judge, having bypassed in 2010 several famous champions of the past.
You see that in the competition of the most ugly dogs in the world very often not terrible dogs, in the direct sense of the word, but those animals that have too unusual appearance win. Bring here, both thoroughbred pets, and ordinary mongrels. At this event, all participants are equal, and the noble origin of the role does not play at all.
