Among past winners, one breed of dog stands out. The Chinese Crested dog has won the top honor of the World’s Ugliest Dog more times than any other breed. Described as “adorably ugly,” it has the perfect combination of traits for the annual contest. The breed is small and often has no hair except for a tiny bit of fur on its head, legs, and tail. Its skin can be black, white, pink, or a spotty combination of these. With its large ears and skinny tail, some people say it looks like a dog combined with a rat.
在历届获胜者中，有一个品种的狗脱颖而出。中国冠毛犬夺得「世界最丑狗狗」最高荣誉的次数比其他犬种都要多。牠被描述为「丑得可爱」，完美结合了这场年度大赛寻求的各项特征。此品种体型较小，除了头部、腿部和尾巴上的一点毛外，通常没有毛发。牠的皮肤颜色可以是黑色、白色、粉红色，或是这些颜色的斑点组合。由于牠的耳朵很大、尾巴很细，有些人说牠看起来像狗和老鼠的结合体。
生活必备字词：
