Chihuahua wins ugly dog competition

SweePee Rambo

PETALUMA, Calif. — A 17-year-old Chinese Crested Chihuahua won this year’s World’s Ugliest Dog contest.

SweePee Rambo took home the title at the annual Petaluma World’s Ugliest Dog contest Friday night after besting 15 other pooches.

Judges in the contest, now on its 28th year, take into account bad appearance, including smell, poor complexion and a host of other inherited and acquired maladies.

Owner Jason Wurtz, 44, of Encino, Calif., took the first-place title and trophy and a prize of $15,000.
