PETALUMA, California – A 9-year-old English bulldog has been named the winner of the ugliest dog show of 2018 in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Zsa Zsa won the title on Saturday night at the Sonoma-Marin Sonoma-Marin Fairgrounds in Petaluma.

The owner of the dog, Megan Brainard of Anoka, Minnesota, will receive $ 1,500 for Zsa Zsa's victory. Brainard found Zsa Zsa on an animal search site, according to the bio contest.
The dogs of the annual competition show off their imperfections – some have hairless bodies, others have hanging tongues. The dogs and their masters descend a red carpet. Dogs are evaluated by a jury.
The contestants included a crest-dachshund Chinese pooch covered in blackheads, a bulldog mix with excessive wrinkled skin and a Pekinese named Wild Thang.

The winner of last year was a 125-pound sweet giant named Martha – A Neapolitan Mastiff with gas and a falling face.
The contest is in its 30th year. It usually takes place on Friday nights, but the organizers have moved the competition to Saturday in order to attract a larger audience.
