A prominent under-bite, scrunched face and floppy ears are the hallmarks of a winner - the winner of the World's Ugliest Dog contest, that is.

Pabst, a boxer-mix rescued from a shelter by Miles Egstad of Citrus Heights, California, won the annual contest at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Northern California.

It was an upset victory for Pabst, who beat former champion Rascal, a pedigree Chinese Crested.

Pabst's owner took home US$1,600 in prize money, pet supplies and a modeling contract with House of Dog.

Miss Ellie, a blind 15-year-old Chinese Crested Hairless, won the pedigree category.

Miss Ellie looks a lot like a girl I work with. Same hair style & dopey expression.

Miss Ellie looks more like a drowned cat than a dag...why would you want a dog like that to start with???
