Yoda – Chinese Crested Chihuahua Bags World’s Ugliest Dog Title – UPDATE

UPDATE:

The dog world was in mourning today after the species’ ugliest member passed away. Yoda — mistaken at first by her owner for a rat — died in her sleep on Saturday. She was 15… RIP pretty girl.

Are they faces only a mother could love? They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and this scruffy, glassy-eyed chihuahua named Yoda is no exception.

In the dog-eat-dog world of contests, Yoda was crowned the ‘world’s ugliest dog’ on Friday, beating a one-eyed chihuahua and a blind 15-year-old pug in the competition.

Yoda’s owner Terry Schumacher revealed that she had fled when she first saw the two-pound dog abandoned behind an apartment building, thinking that it was a rat. But on closer inspection, she realised the diminutive ball of hair and limbs was actually a dog.

The 14-year old Chinese-crested Chihuahua mix with protruding tongue and gangly legs was awarded the honour by judges in California, reports Daily Mail.

I wonder how those dogs even eat or drink if they can’t get their tongues back into their mouths.

What you looking at: This pooch smiled broadly for the cameras but unfortunately it wasn't enough to impress the judges

Close but not close enough: Ghada Marta proudly shows off her dog, Handsome Hector who can't help but stick his tongue out

He might not be the best-looking but his owner is certainly proud

  1. Concerned Pet Owner says:

    That pug has an excruciatingly painful eye. The owner should be ashamed of herself for parading him around like that. There should be a veterinarian at these competitions to disqualify dogs who have medical conditions such as dry eye or glaucoma.
