Those crested chihuahuas usually sweep this thing. One of those dogs used to win this thing hands-down for years. This one looks like a real sweetie.

They are born with or without hair. The ones with hair, called Powder Puffs, are cute, that is the type I had.

And THIS is a runner up in the contest:

This one is unusual looking, apparently due to a congenital spine condition, but doesn't IMHO capture "ugly" the way that Archie did. Of course, that is merely my casual opinion as I am not a qualified ugly dog competition judge.

I'm not qualified as a judge either. I just can't see "ugly" as a physical attribute; it goes so much deeper.

Have a safe holiday, jberry!
