With scarred lips, deformed eyelids, and patches of fur missing, Peanut has been dubbed the “World’s Ugliest Dog” at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California. Although it isn’t clear what breed Peanut is, he’s believed to be a Chihuahua-shih-tzu mix. In fact, he spent nine months in an animal hospital following a serious burn. His adoptive owner, Holly Chandler, rescued him and took him home.

Apparently, it took a fire to make Peanut the world’s ugliest pup, but his beauty won the judges over. He’s now a two-year-old Chihuahua-Shih Tzu mix with a face like a gremlin. He has jutting teeth, wild hair, and a tail that looks like lipstick. The story behind Peanut’s victory is inspiring.
Holly Chandler, a manufacturing engineer from Greenville, North Carolina, rescued Peanut last year after she was rejected from a shelter. The dog spent nine months scaring potential adoptive families. But despite his looks, Peanut beat off some tough competition to win a $1,500 prize. In the online judging, Peanut beat out a bulldog mix named Quasi Modo. The crowd was split on which dog was the ugliest, but the judges gave a tiebreak to Peanut.
Sweepee Rambo
A 17-year-old Chinese crested Chihuahua named SweePee Rambo has won the title of the world’s ugliest dog. The dog is blind in both eyes and weighs four pounds, but his looks aren’t what makes him uglier than a zombie. He won the contest at the Sonoma Marin Fair in Petaluma, Calif., and he’s now earning $1,500 for his efforts.
A previous article titled “Sweepee Rambo is the world’ sexiest dog” claimed that his hairless, blond mohawk made him the winner of the contest. But he was not the grand champion. He was actually one of 16 dogs that competed, including the eventual winner, “Icky.” The article also misidentified the judge who said that entrants got points for oozing. It was Chief Judge Brian Sobel, not Neal Gottlieb, a North Bay ice cream maker.

Peanut, a two-year-old mutt with a toothy face and protruding teeth, has won the title of World’s Ugliest Dog in a competition held in Petaluma, California. The judge’s award went to Holly Chandler, who rescued Peanut from a local animal shelter and has been caring for him ever since. Holly believes Peanut’s unusual looks are part of his charm.
The competition’s rules were strict and the competition was fierce. The top prize is $1,500. There were many entrants in the pageant, all of whom had a similar story. The runner-up, a Chinese Crested-Chihuahua mix named Sweepee, was also considered ugly, but did not garner nearly the same number of votes.

Is Peanut the world’s ugliest pet? The two-year-old mutt with the deformed lip and eyelids is an unlikely winner of the World’s Ugliest Dog Contest. After undergoing botched plastic surgery, Peanut was left with a face resembling a gremlin, a tail like lipstick, and teeth like a sea monster. In fact, it was only a few months later that he was adopted by Holly Chandler, and now she’s working towards her goal of $1,400.
While it’s difficult to imagine a more ugly dog than Peanut, there are some positives to his ghastly features. Despite his unusual appearance, this poor pup is the recipient of a lot of attention. The first prize is $1,500 and a coveted title. The runner-up, meanwhile, is just plain ugly, and no one will pay attention to him.

If you’ve ever been to the local fair and wondered if you’re the world’s ugliest dog, you’ve probably seen the photo of the two-year-old shelter dog, Peanut. It has a wild coat, bulging eyes and protruding teeth, but thanks to Jimmy Kimmel, all of that is about to change. He was rewarded with a bow tie, painted nails and a makeover that has left his owner thrilled. The judging panel reportedly chose him over two hundred other entries to determine who deserved the title.
