The 2009 World’s Ugliest Dog contest at the Sonoma-Marin County Fair broke with tradition in its 21st year. The Chinese Crested breed that has dominated the prize for the past seven years was bypassed this time for a boxer-mix with an under bite. Four-year old Pabst, a shelter dog belonging to Miles Egstad, 25, from Citrus Heights, California, won over the crowd and the judges with his unusual looks and sweet nature.
The competition was filmed to be broadcast on an episode of Dogs 101 on the Animal Planet sometime this fall.
