This Monday(2/9) -Tuesday (2/10)

Thanks for the heads up Scuds.. I try to watch it every year...Always fun. My favorite class is the working dogs.. Love Boarder Collies. :)

Remember a few years back that one dog got lost? I wonder if they ever found it...It was like a favorite to win it too...

i watch every year too. always root against the frou-frou dogs.

Always a hit on DT...

I always dreamed of me and my Cocker Spaniel giving this show a try. Envision this -

and here is Curt with Brandi, a Cocker Spaniel. Oh wait, we need a clean up as it seems Brandi has done a number one. Oh wait, Brandi has done a number two and is turning circles.

just as in the miss america pagent=miss blonde texas

westminster dog show= the poofy poodle

i prefer the hound group:)

Greyhounds:{>:

i like the working group, herding group, sporting group types. you can keep the poodles, shihtzus, pekingese and the like.

for all you wrestling fans, when wrestling was wrestling. I remember being upset to no end when they would pre empt Monday night wrestling for this damn dog show.

Go Corgi's

Greyhounds with hair :{>:

you have to be kidding. wrestling was never wrestling, it's always been fake-a soap opera for guys.
dog show comes on once a year, i doubt it would prove fatal to miss one nights rasslin.

Beagles rule! :)

the 13 or 15 inch? i prefer the smaller beagle...i usually end up rooting for the german shepherd.

Either.....owned two of them (both were "mutts" though :D ) Scotty lived to be 17 & Kasi 14, truly loyal dogs :)

I'm with you on this one!:)

The smartest dog I've ever had was a Springer Spaniel mix.

I prefer big happy dogs

smart and hardworking dogs. it's hard to imagine when looking at those short legs, that they are herding dogs...but they're good at it.

i always like the descriptions, and the warnings that 'this is NOT an apartment dog' when they talk about some of the breeds-jack russell terriers for instance.

West Highland Terrier, and German Shepard

any "buzz" yet to who the projected favorite this year is?

i think i saw mention of a dog named 'uno'. but i just glanced over it on the way to reading something else...

Whippet lost
 

Here's a story on that wippet that was lost from the airport 2 years ago..

They never did find her....sad :(

Uno was the beagle who won last year.

is he back for another go, or did they retire him?

I think he was retired, it was the first time ever a beagle won best in show.

just read that a corgi, an english setter and a chow are the three front runners-at least according to newsday dot com...

:tro: :tro:

good looking dog bigs. i have a rat terrier, i don't even think they're a recognized breed. if i wrote the description of the breed, it would certainly include the words neurotic and guilt complex.


lol alydar...i had a dog i named sheba in honor of alysheba. had a sham once too for that matter. female german shepherd...

I saw Rat Terriers on Dogs 101. They have races to the rat scent through little tunnels. Pretty interesting.

Aly enjoys pointing at lizards and squirrels.

I like the dog but it looks like it's head belongs on a different body
color wise

I have a rat terrier and yeah neurotic guilt complex definately suits him. Just look at him funny and he cowers as if he did something wrong!!!

I have a dream

and the winner is





Puddin Head

so mine isn't the only nut out there....that sounds just like pixie.

i'd forgotten you had a GSP! grown up abit since you last shared pictures.:)

The other side of her is mostly brown like her head.

Oh you never witnessed the Iron Sheik in action did you.
Thats when wrestling was pure pageantry.
The camel clutch given on a big white boy
with overalls while the Sheik would yell, "a dirty Mexican..."

And be thankful for that :) The Border Collie folks fought AKC recognition hard, but lost. Three generations, and show Border Collies have completely different looks and temperment than real Border Collies.

Fortunately, there remains thousands of "real" Border Collies, and only a few hundred "show" types.

Locally we had Pepper Gomez 'man with the iron stomach'. Guys would hit him in his pot belly and break their hands LOL. On another note I dated a girl from Denton TX who's family had a ranch near the Von Erichs (sp) sad story but they threw amazing cookout parties. Felt like I was in a scene from Dallas.
