2006 World’s Ugliest Dog Contest
April 25, 2006 | 18 Comments
It is that time of year again, time for the 2006 Sonoma-Marin Fair World’s Ugliest Dog Contest in Petaluma, CA. As many know, Sam was crowned world’s ugliest dog the last two years. However, poor Sam past away on November 22nd.
This leaves the title wide open for a new ugly dog to try and fill Sam’s shoes. The fair is June 21-24, the ugly dog contest is on Friday June 23rd. I will post the results as soon as they become available.
Of potential interest is that Tator’s owner is Susan Newell who was Sam’s owner up until his death. Rascal was a previous winner of the “World’s Ugliest Dog” title, the only one of the group to ever hold the title. This in turn means Rascal is currently considered the “World’s Ugliest Living Dog”. Pee Wee, my personal choice, has been called “Son of Sam” by Newell on past occasions.
As of the posting of this article, Pee Wee and Munchkin are in a dead heat for the title.

World’s Ugliest Dog Dies at 14

Sam, the world’s ugliest dog, died today at the age of 14.
According to CNN’s article ‘Ugly dog’ Sam dies at 14:
At the time of his death, Sam was scheduled to be filmed for a Discovery Channel series on the world’s ugliest species.
[...]
Lockheed said she had Sam euthanized after a veterinarian told her Sam’s heart was failing.She said she’s felt a little lost ever since, and is sleeping with Sam’s favorite toy — a stuffed bear he picked up and carried home.
“I have snuggled Sam under my blankets on my bed for six years,” said Lockheed, who has three other dogs named TatorTot, TinkerBell and PixieNoodle.
I’m actually suprised to feel a bit sad about Sam’s passing. I originally posted about him because I was absolutely repulsed, but in the end my curiosity has warmed me to the creepy little fella. It will be interesting to see who the Sonoma-Marin Fair will crown ugliest next year. Stay tuned.
