sista! asked:
take for example, this year’s ‘world’s ugliest dog contest’, about 6 out of the 10 contestants are chinese crested dogs.

hairless chinese crested happens to be my favorite breed of dogs.
i never considered them ugly @ all. in fact, i consider sam the champ to be quite lucky to be rescued & havd a good home.
Where does it say what breed they are?
The dogs on the sites of the person below me don’t look bad at all.
I don’t know. but maybe you can find from here:http://accc.chinesecrestedclub.info/
Unfortunately when a breed trait is linked to a genetic defect, there are usually tag along defects that come with it. The sad thing is that contests like this actually encourage people to breed for worse problems.
Chinese Crested dogs have been genetically altered to have a hairless body and crested head. This gene defect also causes the teeth to fall out consequently causing the tongue to hang out and causes a wrinkled look to the face in general and an overall unattractiveness..
I must admit, a couple of the Cresteds on there are pretty ugly, but they are not all ugly. I have a hairless and I think he is just adorable, not to mention smart with a very endearing personality.
They do not have an overabundance of genetic defects (although teeth can be a problem for some), both mine and all my friends have been pretty healthy. Just because you think a trait is ugly does not mean it is a defect.
