That’s Ruff! Seven dogs named UK’s ugliest

These are the seven less than adorable pets vying for the title of Britain’s ugliest dog.

Photography company ParrotPrint.com, are offering a professional makeover and photo session prize to the dog crowned the ‘most hideous’ in the UK.

They have now selected the ugliest seven dogs from hundreds of applicants with these finalists now going forward for a final selection.

The seven dogs hail from across the country and include a British Bulldog from the West Midlands called Winston George, whose owner describes him as a cross between a grumpy old man and a naughty school kid.

Another finalist, Jazz, a Brusston from North Wales, is described as ‘not photogenic’ by their owner who says, ‘when I show people her photo they usually go quiet and are lost for words.’

Peggy, a pug chinese crested mix from East Yorkshire has already appeared on the This Morning sofa with Phil and Holly as part of ParrotPrint.com’s search.

The seven finalists are (in no particular order):

Marnie, a French Bulldog from Wiltshire
Winston George, a British Bulldog from the West Midlands
Peggy, a Pug Chinese Crested Mix from East Yorkshire
Jazz, a Brusston from North Wales
Bella, a Pug from Sheffiled
Roger, a Pug, Toy Poodle and Ugly Boi cross from West Yorkshire
Milo, a Blue French Bulldog from Kent

Matt Dahan, founder of ParrotPrint.com said: “We received hundreds of entries and these seven were the ones who made our eyes hurt when we looked at them.

“There really are some ugly mutts out there in the UK and we hope our contest will celebrate the best of them.

“We were clear from the outset that no pretty pets need apply and these seven certainly could not be described as good looking in any way, shape or form.

“Now our judges have the tough task of choosing exactly which of these mutts is the most offensive to look at.

“We will select one of these pets for the coveted title of Britain’s ugliest dog and they will win a makeover and photo session.

“Let’s see if we can transform the winning ugly dog into a beautiful pooch and brighten up its owner’s life at the same time.”

“There have been a number of TV shows where humans get tarted-up and given a makeover so we thought it would be fun to do the same thing for a dog.

“We believe we can transform them into something truly beautiful and give their owners a fantastic photoshoot experience too.

“We look forward to selecting the winner and sharing their photoshoot experience with the world when we hope to show that every dog is beautiful no matter how ugly they might first appear.”

The contest is now closed for entries and the seven shortlisted dogs will be assessed and a winner announced in February when the ugly mutt will receive their photoshoot and pampering prize.
