You were browsing potential pets to get for your kids. Or maybe reading about Deadpool.
Nope they're fairly obscure, it's just I've noticed over the years that any pup that wins Ugliest Dog is almost invariably some kind of Chinese Crested mix!
Recent examples: Scooter and Mr Happy Face

No I think it's only when it goes wrong. They are meant to look more like this.
Odd. I wonder what it is that makes these win all the ugly dog competitions.
I have a theory there's a recessive gene or two in there that can easily become expressed. So probably a quirk of inbreeding for that particular breed.
