I stumbled across it the other day, I can't actually remember what I was doing.
Are Chinese Crested dogs that famous? I can't remember hearing of them before.
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
But I really should add a link to Sam from 2005.
Haha wow, that Sam!
Is the tongue hanging out thing typical of Chinese Crested dogs? It seems to be common in "ugly" dogs.
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.
