Sam, a 3 time champion

DogExplorer.com is wagging our tail over the response we've seen in the few days since we announced the start of our World's Ugliest Dog Picture Contest!

The picture gallery now has entrants from California to Florida, but we are sitting nicely hoping to hear from the far corners of the globe too.

There must be some contenders that can compete with these beauties from England, France, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Japan, Australia or South Africa?

Let's see the best ya got London. Come on New York City, I'm talking to you!

Are you going to let some tanning-boothed, fitness-club attending, bottled-water drinking California canine cruise to victory unchallenged?

Where is your pack-leaderliness? How about some national pride?
