2011 World's Ugliest Dog-Yoda

Poor little Chinese-crested Chihuahua named Yoda.  Her human found her behind an apartment block and she had been abandoned. Now, Yoda, 14 years old, holds the title of 2011 World's Ugliest Dog. Not quite a rags-to-riches story but I'm sure Yoda is very proud of her achievements.

Winner of "The World's Ugliest Dog" Contest Announced!

This year's winner of the World's Ugliest Dog Contest is da da-"Gus" a one-eyed, three legged Chinese Crested with no hair! Owned by mother-daughter team of Jeanenne and Janey Teed, Gus hails from Florida.




Gus has had a very difficult life so far. He had to be rescued from a bad home and has skin cancer, the reason he lost his leg. The current owners found out that Gus was being kept in a crate in a garage so they decided to rescue him and give him a good home. On top of all this other drama, Gus lost his eye while fighting a cat.

Gus needs radiation treatment for his skin cancer condition.

Said Jeanenne his owner "“I’m just in shock. We came so far and are so happy that we can put the winnings towards Gus’ radiation treatment. We’re just thrilled.”

Gus won the 2008 World's Ugliest Dog Contest but he also was entered into the "Ring of Champions" Contest. He was up against last year's winner "Elwood" as well as "Archie" and "Rascal", winners of the last three "Ring of Champions" contests respectively.

A happy and victorious Gus takes home prize money totaling $1,600.00 and 2 trophies!

The contest was held at the Sonoma-Marin County Fair and will be shown on the "Animal Planet" network in October of this year.

Below is a video of the final moments of the competition where they crown Gus the winner!

Elwood The Ugliest Dog in America!

Elwood, a Chinese Crested/Chihuahua mix is the "World's Ugliest Dog"-Good for Elwood!

Elwood escaped being put down because his breeder thought he was too ugly to ever be able to sell him. His current owner rescued him and entered Elwood in the contest for the second year in a row. Last year Elwood came in a decent second.

Most of the Ugly Dogs are the Chinese Crested variety because of their unearthly looks and floppy tongues.

We'll see how long Elwood can remain King of Ugly dogs!
