Ugliest Dog title at a Northern California fair.

[Serpo]

AND THE WINNER IS....: A judge evaluates Yoda on his way to winning the 2011 World's Ugliest Dog Contest in California.

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 (NZ$1200) cheque.

Just goes to show there is truth in the saying "It is so ugly it's cute!"


Ugly needs love too. ;)

Yoda was streets ahead of the competition and cleaned up.

since Silver is referred to as The Dog, maybe we could have a World's Ugliest Silver competition.

Silver Plate doesn't count - it has to be silver all the way through, just like Yoda the Dog is 100% Yoda the Dog.
