狗狗界的「比丑」大賽，猜猜冠軍會是哪種狗狗？
在美國，每年都會舉辦最丑狗大賽。網友們紛紛表示見過丑的，但是沒見過這麼奇怪的。下面就和小譯一起看看在比丑大賽中撥得頭籌的是哪一種狗狗吧！
Komondor
可蒙犬
According to the American Kennel Club, the Komondor is characterized by " imposing strength, dignity, courageous demeanor, and pleasing conformation."
美國養犬俱樂部表示，可蒙犬強壯、尊貴、勇敢並且外形惹人喜愛。
This large, muscular breed — also known as the Hungarian sheepdog — is also noted for a corded coat that looks like he is covered in white dreadlocks. The unusual coat helps him blend in with the sheep this working dog helps protect. It also keeps him warm out in the elements and protects him from prey.
可蒙犬是匈牙利牧羊犬的一種，它們體型龐大且肌肉發達，毛髮像繩索一樣懸掛在身上，好像整個身體都埋藏在白色的長髮綹里了。這種特殊的毛髮使得它們能夠隱藏在所要保護的羊群中而不被發現。這一身毛髮還能保持體溫，減緩羊群的衝撞。
It takes a lot of work to keep the Komondor"s corded coat in good shape. If not cared for regularly, the dog"s white coat can look grimy and dull. The Komondor Club of America has this easier-said-than-done advice: "The best way to keep a Komondor clean is never to allow it to get dirty."
梳理和清潔可蒙犬的毛髮是一項耗時耗力的工程。如果照看得不仔細，它們的白色毛髮會變得髒亂且顏色暗淡。美國可蒙犬俱樂部提出了一個方法：「保持可蒙犬乾淨的最好方法就是不要讓它變髒」，這個建議真是說起來容易做起來難。
Xoloitzcuintli
佐羅茲英特利犬
The Xoloitzcuintli goes by just the Xolo or the Mexican hairless dog, even though it also comes in a less common variety with a coat. The hairless version of the Xolo is noted for the absence of all (or nearly all) hair. Sometimes the dog will have a stubbly face and what looks like a mohawk, but is sleekly bare everywhere else on his body.
佐羅茲英特利犬，又稱Xolo（英文簡稱）或者墨西哥無毛犬。不過也有例外，其中一個少見的品種是有毛髮的。無毛的佐羅茲英特利犬因其全身幾乎沒有毛髮而出名。它們的頭部毛髮短而粗，像莫霍克人一樣，但是整個身體卻光滑沒有毛髮。
The Xolo is one of the world"s oldest and rarest breeds, according to the AKC, and is the first dog of the Americas. The breed comes in toy, miniature and standard sizes and comes in 10 different colors. With a temperament that can be calm, aloof and trainable, the Xolo is considered a national treasure in Mexico, says the AKC.
美國養犬俱樂部表示，佐羅茲英特利犬是世界上最古老最稀有的品種之一，同時也是美洲最古老的犬種。品種分為玩具型、迷你型和標準型，皮膚的顏色共有10種。美國養犬俱樂部稱，佐羅茲英特利犬在墨西哥被視為國寶級的寵物，因為它們性情溫順、方便馴養。
Mudi
馬地犬
Another herding breed from Hungary, the Mudi is said to have evolved from a mix between Puli and German spitz breeds, with maybe a few other herding breeds thrown in for good measure. According to the Mudi Club of America, one breed fancier compared the dogs to a cross between a German shepherd and a miniature poodle both in looks and temperament.
馬地犬也是一種來自匈牙利的畜群犬。據說，它們是由匈牙利長毛犬和德國波美拉尼亞絲毛狗交配演化而來，進化過程中可能與其他的畜群犬也有交配。美國馬地犬俱樂部表示，某個品種的愛好者曾將馬地犬和由德國牧羊犬和迷你泰迪犬雜交而來的犬種進行比較，觀察它們的外形和性情。
The Mudi"s coat is distinctively curly and comes in a rainbow of colors, including the striking merle coat shown here. The breed is rare in the United States and is considered active, intelligent and immensely trainable.
馬地犬擁有五顏六色的捲曲毛髮。圖片里就有一隻黑白相間的馬地犬。在美國，這是一個稀有的犬種，它們聰明、有活力、方便馴養。
Bedlington terrier
貝靈頓梗
When groomed in a certain way, this terrier looks decidedly like a little lamb. But don"t be fooled. The Bedlington can be sweet and quiet, but typically aggressive terrier instincts can kick in at any time with this inquisitive, affectionate breed, according to the Bedlington Terrier Club of America.
如果精心梳理貝靈頓梗的毛髮，它們看上去就會像小綿羊一樣。但是別被它們的外形欺騙了。據美國貝靈頓梗俱樂部所說，在它們安靜、可愛、親切的外表下，隱藏著隨時可能爆發的攻擊本能。
These dogs are known to be very trainable and versatile and are "frollicking, charming and full of fun," says the AKC. Just be prepared for second looks wherever you go. It"s the almond-shaped eyes, the little tassels on the ends of the ears, and the curved, lithe body that just looks ready to gallop off at full tilt, ready to take off a canine (or ovine?) adventure.
美國養犬俱樂部認為，這些小狗方便馴養、多才多藝、「活潑、充滿趣味而且惹人喜愛」。如果你遛著貝靈頓梗走在大街上，回頭率一定很高。它擁有杏仁般的大眼睛，耳朵下端長著流蘇般的絨毛，身體柔軟，腰部微微彎曲。它看上去隨時準備著跳躍，準備開始一場狗狗（或者說是綿羊？）的冒險。
Chinese crested dog
中國冠毛犬
Best known for the distinctive hairless variety, the Chinese crested actually comes in a genetically recessive powderpuff version too, which has hair all over its body. The hairless, shown here, only has tufts of hair on its head, tail and feet.
中國冠毛犬，因其沒有毛髮而出名。不過，有一種冠毛犬的全身還是長有毛髮的，這是隱性基因在背後作祟。圖片上顯示的冠毛犬只在頭部、尾部和腳上有幾撮毛。
Believed to have evolved from African hairless dogs, according to the AKC, the Chinese crested are considered very "cat-like" in personality. They enjoy sitting in high places and adjust easily to living in small places, even though they can be a very active breed.
美國養犬俱樂部表示，中國冠毛犬由非洲無毛犬演化而來，性格和貓非常相似。它們喜歡趴在高處，性格非常活潑，即使在狹小的空間也能自得其樂。
Many of the winners in the annual World"s Ugliest Dog Contest held as part of the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California, have been Chinese cresteds. Remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
每年在加利福尼亞州的佩特盧馬都會舉辦一場世界最丑狗的比賽，中國冠毛犬經常脫穎而出，拔得頭冠。別忘了，情人眼裡出西施，狗狗在主人心裡永遠是最美的。
Catalburun
凱特布朗犬
The Catalburun is a Turkish pointer known for its distinct double nose. It was believed that this unusual nasal structure gave the breed an advantage in hunting because of an extra sensitivity to smells. But breeders have since realized that the divided nose is just a cosmetic feature and offers no real edge over a typical canine sniffer, says Craig Koshyk, author of "Pointing Dogs."
凱特布朗犬是一種土耳其獵犬，因其分裂的鼻子而出名。人們曾經認為，這種特殊的鼻子構造對氣味會更加敏感，能為捕獵提供有效幫助。但是，《指標犬》的作者克萊格·柯士提到，飼養者發現凱特布朗犬的分裂鼻子僅僅起到裝飾作用，和那些敏銳的嗅探犬相比，它們的嗅覺並沒有明顯的優勢。
Because the characteristic can lead to a seriously cleft palate, some breeders are no longer finding the double nose a positive trait and have stopped breeding for the characteristic. The breed"s name in Turkish is derived from "catal" meaning fork and "burun" meaning nose.
由於這種鼻子的構造會導致嚴重的齶裂，飼養者不再認為分裂的鼻子是一種優點，所以在培育過程中不再注重鼻子的培養。在土耳其語中，凱特布朗犬的名字來源於「catal」（刀叉）和「burun」（鼻子）這兩個詞。
不論美醜，狗狗都是人類的好朋友！你還知道其他品種的狗狗嗎？歡迎和大家分享哦~
