I wonder what the health issues are with that poor dog?...His teeth obviously aren't good for starters...It just really makes me wonder what is up with him or her. :(

Well, all I wanted to do was be afraid of the scary dog, but then Gypsy made me feel all sorry for it, so I had to learn more!  ;D

Here is the article I found on him...


SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The owners of the other contestants in this year's World's Ugliest Dog Contest may have thought their pooches had a chance — until they saw Sam.
 
The 14-year-old pedigreed Chinese crested recently won the Sonoma-Marin Fair contest for the third consecutive time, and it's no surprise.

The tiny dog has no hair, if you don't count the yellowish-white tuft erupting from his head. His wrinkled brown skin is covered with splotches, a line of warts marches down his snout, his blind eyes are an alien, milky white and a fleshy flap of skin hangs from his withered neck. And then there's the Austin Powers teeth that jut at odd angles from his mouth.

He's so ugly even the judges recoiled when he was placed on the judging table, said his proud owner, Susie Lockheed, of Santa Barbara.

"People are always horrified when I kiss him. He may turn into a prince yet. He's definitely a toad," she said. "I always thought he'd be great on greeting cards or on a commercial for Rogaine."

Sam, who's pushing 15, has something of a cult following after winning the contest — and fans' hearts — for three years running. Last year, huge crowds gathered around Sam and Lockheed at a local parade and Lockheed said she received letters and calls about her pup for weeks.

"So many people have told me they've got his picture on their refrigerator. He certainly has a little cult following," she said. "I did years of professional musical theater and never achieved the fame Sam has."

Sam will appear in this weekend's Fourth of July parade in Santa Barbara, but the recent events may be the cap on a long, ugly career. Lockheed says Sam's now suffering from congestive heart failure, lung and kidney problems and has definitely slowed down in his twilight years.

Still, he enjoys regular gourmet meals of sirloin steak, cheese balls, roasted chicken and flan (so he'll swallow his multiple pills). He also passes occasional weekends at the Gaviota ranch of Lockheed's boyfriend, where the World's Ugliest Dog rides in the back of an ATV with his few remaining hairs wafting in the wind.

Poor little guy, he's so ugly it kinda makes him cute (to me anyway). Bless his little heart, at least he is enjoying life.

Well after this, we dont have to be too concerned about our dogs teeth lol..... When I saw those teeth I thought of the two degus we have, they are supposed to have yellow teeth, that shows they are healthy hehe.

Nina...... I was looking very very long and hard, and tried to see the cute part, but hmmmmm im just not feeling it lol......

This one doesn't quite beat out the Crested, but maybe a runner up?   :)  We found this on a Humane Society website a few years ago, and we just felt so sorry for him.....Appare ntly he's a Sharpei-Golden Retriever mix, which as you can see, turned out badly.....Poor baby.
