The world's ugliest dog is dead

A pedigree dog, crowned the world’s ugliest pooch, has died at the grand old age of 17. Miss Ellie was a wiggly-eyed Chinese Crested Hairless mutt with a drooping tongue and a scruffy mass of sprouting grey hair.

Fair Warning

To be fair, he did put the joke warning in the icon ma'am.

Re: Fair Warning

How is that a 'warning'? It's a disclaimer/fig leaf/excuse to spout whatever crap you please, rather like a :) after something dodgy. Tsk.

Ok,

So you'd met her too?

[rcdicky]

I hope you noticed it wasn't...

Not only is 17 OK, it could even be a sister.

Y'all come back now, hear?

@That's not an ugly dog.... *this* is an ugly dog.

That is Sam, and he's been dead for a while too. He used to be the holder of the title. Miss Ellie is not so bad. Specially after seeing Sam: http://www.samugliestdog.com

Anyway, Chinese Crested Hairless dogs are well poised to keep the title. When young, they are fine and cute, and I knew one who had a great personality too. But when they get old... The same mutation that makes them hairless affects the development of their teeth, so that does not help in the looks department.

What laboratory gave birth to that....

Out of 100,000,000 sperm THAT was the fastest???

[mittfh]

What about the egg?

After all, it's a combination of sperm DNA *and* egg DNA... do we have pics of the sire and dam?

Presumably both had their fair share of recessive genes...
