19 Dogs That Don't Care About Society's View of Beauty

"Homely hounds," known for their less attractive looks, are not necessarily up to American Kennel Club's pedigree standards, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve a little recognition. Oddball dogs from across the country gathered Friday for the 26th annual World's Ugliest Dog Contest in Petaluma, California.

Owners young and old proudly and lovingly parade their pets, despite uneven fur, waddling walks and mismatched or missing features. Both pedigrees and mutts are welcome, as long as they have veterinary papers, current shots and are "naturally ugly."

The event is hosted by Sonoma-Marin Fairgrounds, which says on its website that this not about making fun of "ugly" dogs, but showing the fun and energy in these dogs that's just as beautiful. Most of the dogs have been rescued from animal shelters.

The winner of the competition receives $1500 in prize money. There are also awards for placing in the Pedigree and Mutt classes, as well as prizes from the presenting sponsor Paradise Pet Resort.

Last year's winner, Walle, is a mix of beagle, basset and boxer that won the crowd with his disproportionate body — judges claimed it "looked as though he had been Photoshopped."

Sonoma-Marin Fairgrounds' marketing director Karen Spencer told Mashable that there are 29 contestants total this year, 19 of which entered a photo for preliminary voting online. A dog named Peanut took the lead online, but it's still anyone's game. Results will be announced tonight.
