A Chinese dog with a scary face. The most terrible dog breeds in the world with names and photos

First of all, people love dogs because they are loyal to their owner. Also, pets can give their breeder a little happiness if the owner is sad. Animals, unlike people, do not pay attention to a person’s material condition, his profession, appearance and life achievements. This demonstrates that animals are man's best friends and, to some extent, sets an example for people to follow.

The most terrible dogs on our planet

Usually, people want their pets not to be scary, but to be the most beautiful and attractive. However, there are owners who want their most terrible pets to be good friends who will never betray. Lovers of such pets take part in various competitions every year. Special participants may get a role in a horror film. Also, the scariest dogs are often photographed, as people are interested in them for their unusual appearance.

The most terrible dog is the Chinese Crested Sam

In America, a competition is held every year. Many pets take part in it, and the reward is a huge financial sum. The first place in this list of the most terrible dogs is taken by Sam. He belongs to the crested Chinese breed. Interesting Facts:

  • Chinese Crested dogs are the most common in this top;
  • the dog received the title of the most terrible dog on earth three times;
  • The dog gained its fame when it won its third victory.

At that time, articles were written about the dog and stories were filmed. Sam's photos became very popular and quickly spread across the World Wide Web.

He left our world back in two thousand and five. The dog still remains the most terrible, and if she were alive, she would take prizes.

The dog's parents looked very good, for this reason the competition jury was shocked by how scary the dog looked. This animal is very small, it is also almost completely hairless. He has only a few small tufts of hair on his ears, face and head. Sam is completely covered in warts, his skin has dark shade, and also she is covered with wrinkles. People are unlikely to want to pet the scariest dog. Also, dog deprived of vision, her eye color is unusually white. It may seem like Sam doesn't even have pupils. The dog's teeth grow on opposite sides.

In truth, it is very difficult to believe that such a dog exists in the world. It may seem like it's just an edited photo or something. After the dog became popular on the World Wide Web, many people became interested in it. Even separate websites were created about the dog. It was something similar to a gathering place for dog fans. The image of this dog was even used in various comics. Sam was taken in by Susan Lockreed.

A woman found him in one of the shelters back in 1999. Apparently, she felt sorry for Sam and decided to help the poor thing. Sam lived 14 years, which is quite a lot for such animals. However, upon examination, the doctor found that the dog had a very big problems with heart. For this reason, it was decided to euthanize Sam, since the dog was foreshadowed by a painful and prolonged death. The dog left our world a long time ago, but people still remember it as the most terrible dog. As a rule, dog lovers choose the most beautiful dogs for procreation, but in in this case The dog's breeders still have a puppy named Pippi. His appearance is also not the most attractive.

Next in our ranking will be a very small dog called Yoda. She belonged to the Chinese Crested dog breed. This dog, unfortunately, is no longer with us either, since she died of natural causes in 2011. Yoda also won the title of scariest dog after Sam in the same competition. The dog was quite scary from birth, but also lived for fourteen years. Yoda lived in California with her breeder Terri Schumacher. It is where the competition for the most terrible dog on the planet is held. Every time dozens of people come to the competition with their dogs, but only one wins.

The dog's parents are a Chihuahua and a Chinese Crested. When the dog was still small, the future owner and her daughter picked up Yoda in the park. At first, the owners even thought that it was not a dog, but a rat. The dog was covered in scraps of fur, and its tongue was always out of its mouth. The breeder received one thousand dollars for the extraordinary appearance of the dog.

  • The dog has problems with his right eye. It does not open all the way, so the dog can only see in one eye.
  • The dog has a curved spine. For this reason, the dog cannot walk fully; it is noticeably skewed to one side.
  • The dog has crooked legs.

Putting it all together it turns out quite scary look. However, the owner does not consider her pet ugly at all.

The pet has not been living with its breeder for long. Before this, the dog lived in a shelter, from where its owner took it. When the breeder wrote an application to participate in the competition, the woman did not expect to win at all.

The most scary breeds dogs in the world, is there such a rating? It turns out that people can come up with anything. In California, there is even a competition where the ugliest dog is chosen every year.

At the same time, the owners are very proud of their pets and love them, despite their scary appearance. And some of the winners look quite nice. We will try to make our own rating.

But, as you know, there is no comrade according to taste. Breeds that may seem scary to some are considered very beautiful by others.

Chinese Crested and Chihuahua

The most feared breeds in the world are headed by the Chihuahua and the Chinese Crested. These dogs are quite popular and many owners find them quite cute.

But it was their representatives who became multiple winners of the competition for the ugliest and scariest dogs in the world. The undisputed leader is a cross between two breeds, the dog Sam. His naked, wrinkled body was covered with warts and thin tufts of fur.

There were only a few protruding teeth left in the twisted mouth, and the bulging eyes were frightening with their whites. Until his death, no one could defeat him. A photo of this “handsome man” is still circulating on the Internet and is very popular.

Second winner - chihuahua dog nicknamed Princess Emma. She had a twisted back and a staggering gait.

In general, these small dogs (Chinese Crested and Chihuahua) have gained the reputation of being the most fearsome due to their body structure and short hair. The Chinese Crested has almost none; not everyone likes short tufts.

Chihuahuas are very small for a dog. They have thin limbs, a not very graceful body, which always shakes from the cold. Nevertheless, these breeds have many lovers; they have not lost their popularity for several decades.

Shaggy monsters


What is it, a mop or a dog? This question arises when looking at representatives of two breeds - Puli and Hungarian Commander. “Mop” commander, among other things, is also huge.

These dogs are densely covered with hair, it grows all over the body, tightly covering even the muzzle and eyes. But everything would be fine if the dogs’ “hair” were not twisted like dreadlocks. The bullet's are black or brown, while the commander's are beige.

Despite their scary appearance, the dogs are very smart, like all shepherds. It is most popular in its homeland, Hungary. They are considered the oldest breeds in this country. You can also find bullets and commanders in Austria and northern Italy.

The breed is still used for its intended purpose, herding flocks of sheep high in the mountains. At the same time, the dogs are almost no different from their charges. They have almost the same thick and matted fur.

Flatten faces

Some people like dogs with flattened faces. Others consider such dogs to be real freaks. Some of the scary breeds include Pekingese, Affenpinschers, Brussels Griffons and Pugs.

The Pekingese comes from China, which is easy to understand from the name. The breed was popular for a couple of decades, but is now losing ground. Dogs are very capricious and difficult to train. They love to bark, which is not very convenient for city apartments.

The Affenpinscher is a very smart and loyal dog, a real true friend. The only drawback is a terrible flattened muzzle with a rather angry expression.

In addition, his hair sticks out in all directions, as if he had a bouffant done at the hairdresser, but they forgot to style his hair. The Brussels Griffon is a mix between a furry pug and a small Shih Tzu.

His face really resembles a mythical monster, which was often sculpted on buildings during the Middle Ages. The eyes are bulging, the nose is flattened and all this is decorated with a strange beard.

Despite the fact that the dog’s appearance is quite scary, it is increasingly winning the hearts of its owners, as it is very smart and cheerful.

Pugs are one of the most popular dogs. Now it no longer occurs to anyone that this dog is scary. But when you look closely, it really is so.

Large bulging eyes, like an alien, a folded, flattened muzzle and an eternally slobbering mouth. Added to all this is a fat, awkward body and constant snoring. Only the French bulldog can compete with him.

Scary hunters

Among hunting dogs They also have their freaks. The most terrible, of course, is the dachshund. This breed is the result of a genetic mutation, chondrodystrophy. As a result of the anomaly, despite the normal body length, the dog has shortened limbs.

The unusual structure makes the dachshund an excellent burrowing dog. Nowadays, few people think that this cute dog is scary. And at the time when they first appeared, they were indeed considered very ugly.

Russian greyhounds are not beauties either. A long, humpbacked body on thin legs and a strange gait do not add charm to this breed. But when greyhounds chase game, they have no equal. In the chase they are simply beautiful.

Greyhounds can compete with Italian greyhounds. Initially, they were also bred as miniature hounds. But over time, the breed was destined to become the favorites of aristocrats.

Small dogs with thin legs and rat tails can hardly be considered beauties. The American Staghound is very similar to a hyena, except that it is even more terrible than a wild animal.

He has the figure of a hound, thin legs and a muscular body. The dog is covered with thin, shaggy hair. The expression of the muzzle is cunning and evil, although aggressive dog cannot be named.

Fighters and guards

Fighters and guards are already famous as very scary breeds, not so much because of their appearance, but because of their character. After all, many of them were trained to protect property, people, or dog fights.

Fortunately, blood sports are prohibited, and more reliable and less dangerous ones have been invented for security purposes. dangerous ways. Among the fighters and guards there are the most terrible breeds. The first place is taken by the bull terrier.

Few people like his pig-like face. In addition, the bull terrier's figure is not the most beautiful. The muscular body with clearly hypertrophied muscles resembles the body of a jock.

The Neapolitan Mastiff is huge scary dog with folded skin. It seems that the breed has three times more skin than is actually needed. Besides, looking at his sad expression, the saddest in the world, makes me want to cry.

However, the Neapolitan is an excellent guard, bloodhound and trusted friend.
The English bulldog is the hero of many cartoons. It's hard to say whether he's scarier or funnier than his brothers.

Modern bulldogs have long forgotten their fighting past and have turned into lazy and phlegmatic pets. But before these menacing dogs could kill a bull.

It’s good that now dogs no longer have to participate in such cruel fun and only their appearance, with a menacing, slightly sad folded muzzle and a muscular body, can seem scary.

It is generally accepted that the most popular dogs are beautiful and cute breeds such as Husky or . However, every year ugly dog ​​breeds are gaining more and more popularity. Thanks to their terrible, memorable appearance, they become stars in the World Competitions for the “Ugliest Dog in the World.” Next you can find descriptions and photos of such breeds and the most prominent representatives.

The ugliest breed is the Chinese Crested Sam.

The leader in such a non-standard top is undoubtedly, and she earned such “honor” thanks to a dog of this breed named Sam from America. Looking at him, you immediately want to look away. This is a bald dog with wrinkled and warty skin, where here and there you can find tufts of gray hair.

His white eyes, completely devoid of pupils, are terrifying - like in a horror film. The final chord is a terrible mouth, where only a few teeth have survived, and they look into different sides.

Despite his terrible appearance, Sam has earned worldwide popularity: the media write about him, publish in magazines, and invite him to photo shoots and competitions.

Sam won the title of the most terrible dog in the world for three years in a row, after which in 2005 he went to another world. He was euthanized for health reasons at the age of 15.

10 years have passed, and Sam’s popularity has not faded; besides, the dog still has an equally “attractive” son, Pippi, on whom the owner also pins her hopes. We talked about the most striking example of an ugly Chinese Crested, although such ugly individuals have been recorded the most among this breed.

Ugly Chihuahua named Princess Abby Francis

In second place among the ugliest breeds in the world was the Chihuahua, namely Princess Abby Francis or simply Abby. This dog became the ugliest dog in 2010, although such rumors about the Chihuahua had circulated before. The jury of the competition was completely blown away by her curved spine and legs, which is why she gets very weak when walking. And an almost closed left eye, which complements the awkward picture. “The Star” lives to this day, and her owner Abby considers her the cutest in the world.

In the next video you will learn about the competition for the “Ugliest Dog in the World”: traditions, participants, winners.

Few people would call them beautiful, even if they are without such obvious defects. Too much short stature(10 inches) and at the same time the bulging eyes played a role. The picture is complemented by non-standard huge ears that cover half of the head. However, for lovers of such exotics, the breed will be the most beautiful in the world.

Third place - disgusting American Staghound

This is one of the most feared breeds in the world, reminiscent of the evil hyena from the cartoon “The Lion King”. Staghounds have a long, bony, hunchbacked body and unkempt fur that grows in clumps, which together looks extremely unpleasant. Wild and aggressive in appearance, they can even become very sweet and reliable pets.

Puli mop dog

Puli are not at all attractive looking dogs, which most people associate with an old disheveled mop. The pet's fur grows chaotically, matting into clumps that resemble dirty dreadlocks. This cover completely covers the dog’s body and even its muzzle. Puli dogs are difficult to brush and bathe, so owners of this unusual breed will have to visit the hairdresser frequently. Despite their peculiar appearance, Puli are considered very smart, so they are often used for herding animals and guarding.


Bull Terrier - pig dog

The Bull Terrier is one of the most specific nasty dogs, which is difficult to forget once you see it. They have short legs and body, dense abdomen and a strange egg-shaped head. The image is complemented by small slanted eyes, which is why the dog resembles a small copy of a pig. Bull Terriers are very aggressive, so they are often used for protection, as well as in competitions where you need to show courage and agility.

The Standard Schnauzer is an ugly breed with a beard

The Standard Schnauzer is not characterized by any special deformities, however, it is one of the ugly breeds due to its unkempt beard, which is often wet or matted due to drool. A beard makes the dog always sullen and dissatisfied. The shaggy eyebrows are also terrifying, and all together turns the animal into a strict uncle who is angry with everyone and everything.
