Westminster Dog Show on USA

[Liberal Christian]

I love watching this most-fabulous-of-all dog shows. I fall in love with a different breed every year.

Anyone else watching?

1. I swear, I was just about to start a thread on this very subject.

I get caught up in it every year as well. I just have to remember to tape "Judging Amy."

[Liberal Christian]

2. I wish I'd been able to watch last night

They had some great breeds in last night's groups, but I was in a meeting until late last night.

Did you see a couple-three years ago when the Papillon won best in show?

[Limbought]

3. Yes, I did ....

I enjoy watching the "toy class," but I'm glad I don't have to brush some of those hair balls every day.

19. I saw that!

He was so cute and the crowd just loved him and he just loved the crowd.
I remember they put him in the winners cup and he was looking out-so cute.

4. Is it Huskies this year?

:)

[tridim]

5. One question..

Why does the Standard Poodle seem to always win the non-sporting group?

[Liberal Christian]

6. They just had the Norwegian Elkhound

Reminded me of my old boy, Boz, whom I had to put down a couple of years ago ... Half Norwegian Elkhound - half Siberian Husky.

7. Oh! They just had a PBGV

I fell in love with PBGVs a few years ago on this show. They're too rambunctious for me now, but they are sooooooooooooooooo cute.

8. I fell for the newfie last night

but my heart lies with the springer spaniels! We're watching

[smirkymonkey]

9. Do they have a Best in Show yet??

I wish a big dog would win for once! Golden Retriever, Rottweiler, Bernese or Swiss Mountain Dog, Newfoundland, etc.

[Rowdyboy]

10. My picks, from top to bottom

the Newfie wins, hands down...then
Sussex Spaniel
Standard Poodle
Pekinese
welsh corgi
Ibiza
norfolk terrier

[Rowdyboy]

11. Am I Good or what!

Josh the newfie wins!!!

[Insider]

12. big beautiful barking wonder

he was happy. :party:

[Limbought]

13. You Know Your Dog Alright!

Great Show!

[Rowdyboy]

16. Thanks, He was so perfect it was hard to doubt

[FDRrocks]

14. I cannot belive the Welsh Corgi did not win.

To my eyes, he was clearly the best breed example there, possible next to "Bunny" (can't spell the Breed name, the egyptian dog).

The winner was adorable though, and I loved his barks of triumph.

edit: Do dogs come in forms uglier than a pekanese (no offense intended, owners, thing just reminds me of a 4-legged troll doll).

[Corgigal]

15. Hell NO

we've been cheated. Corgi should have won and if this same judge didn't put this exact dog through last year to best in show it might have been. We needed a judge who didn't have such a connection to the pups.

Corgi's rule and are smarter then drooling Newfoundlands.
Please.

(cranky because we lost AGAIN)

[Rowdyboy]

18. Corgi's aren't electable....

They supported the war in Iraq and the Patrio....ehhh...never mind...

[Pithlet]

17. They're doing highlights on ESPN

right now. With stats and everything. And a list of what a dog could buy with 50 grand.

I was rooting for the Norfolk Terrier, since my breeds didn't make the final cut. What a cutie!

[radfringe]

20. watched part of in on Monday night

I usually "crash" by 8:30pm... work hours and all of that

but my partner and I watched the working and the terrier group.

My partner was thrilled that a mastiff took 3rd in the working group, this is that same mastiff that took 3rd in the working group from the Ukanuba dog show the previous week

mastiffs are a dog my partner is very partial too, she use to have a couple of them. with the recent loss of our ratdog, we have been looking around for a mastiff... might be able to work out a deal with a breeder my partner knows.. average price is running $2,500 for a pup... ouchie

[Hogarth]

21. Damn!

I meant to tune it in but forgot about it. I wanted to see how the basset hound fared. I must have been hung up on the Food Network while making dinner.

[RebelOne]

22. Darn, I tried to watch, but fell asleep.

But I saw that the Newfoundland won best of show.

[skippysmom]

23. Coco was robbed!

That Norfolk Terrier was such a cutie, with such a personality.

But Josh is one beautiful dog. All 155 pounds of him!

[Liberal Christian]

24. A couple of dogs looked familiar

Did the Norfolk Terrier and the Pekingese win their groups at the AKC-Eukanuba show last week?

[skippysmom]

25. I think a lot of them were the same dogs

I think the Norfolk, and the Pekinese and maybe the Ibizan were all in that show.

[MissMillie]

26. I fall in love w/ every breed every year

love those doggies!

[Rhiannon12866]

27. I love the dog show

The only problem I have with it is that they never choose the dogs I love best! There are three colors of cocker spaniels, but has one of them ever won? And I love the Cairn Terriers (like Toto), having had one, but they continue to choose the Norwich or the Norwalk. But I love seeing the beautiful dogs, anyway, as well.:-)
