TY Pais.. FORGOT!

UMMMMM...I guess we're DIFFERENT kinds of nerds:p

My 13 year old beagle mix - Kasi... is always BEST IN SHOW! :)

not sure my girl Mrs. P would agree...but she'll let you live the dream for now cause she's busy watchin TV :D

Working Group
 

Akita starts off the night.. Tanks god too because I'm tired of "Josh the Newfie" and his legendary-ness and now his progeny...

1. Akita
2. Alaskan Malamute
3. Newfoundland
4. Kuvasz

Terriers next...

i personally know a best in breed winner and sporting group winner, from the westimister show.
a german-shorthair pointer.:D

We love the Shepherds and Corgis!! They get their share of props too!

Be forewarned...
 

THIS is the year a VISZLA takes it home!

YIKES!!:eek:

sporting breeds and groups are tomorrow

PHUCK that:mad: ...pembroke welsh corgi

BINGO

Giving everyone a reason to live!

For PaisleyJean..

But Corgi's have been training all year...

eating right...



getting some rest...



exercising...



they are due....

it's more about the handlers and politics.
my cousin has bred german shorthair pointers for 30 years. i used to travel weekends with them. the losing because of politics is tough to take after awhile.

that's why I swore off horse shows:mad:
but I still like to watch them...same with dog shows.

it's amazing what it takes to campiagn a dog to be #1 in the breed or #1 in the country .
my cousins are small breeders so they only have pups every couple years. they try to improve the bred and their bloodlines so they research before breeding. they are well respected on the east coast and have had many champions but to see what they went through to get back a couple years ago for the champion i mentioned, it was tough to watch. they ALL most had to pull her off the road.

I've never watched 5 minutes of the WDS but the movie Best In Show was very funny.

My vote for prettiest dog though would go to the Akita, Husky or American Eskimo.

Miniture Schnauzer should be best in show.

I have never seen something more subjective than a dog show. Its a big joke.

This judge won a best in show with a Miniature Poodle in the 70's.LOL...2 seconds after they said that,he picked the Standard Poodle.Yes,it is a bit subjective.2 f'n poodles (mini,and standard) in the finals.Somebody make a Poodle Pie.Miniature Pinscher barked a little at somebody in the crowd( making barking sounds.) They don't have a shot with fem. toy group judges anyways.

This is in Madison Square Garden?

Finally they will crown a champion in that place... how long has it been?

got another...

What was that I saw on the show floor, poop, or the Knicks starting 5?

damn Im good. Sorry Oracle was not here to see this post. He might have tried to kill me.

Do you have one, Steve? They're one of my fave breeds...

Oh yeah... I want a coonhound to win. :p

Dress them like this n' maybe they will get noticed by those fem. judges.

Had the opportunity to get one from my friend Dr. John Charos, (Famed celebrity vet of Long Island), about 4 years ago, but just am not home enough to consider dog ownership. (Someone here believes I am not even capable of cat ownership...).

But the Vizsla is a remarkable breed with an amazing story. The Nazis tried to exterminate ALL of them during WWII, and it is believed there were perhaps 50 left in Europe by 1945. They date back to the Magyars (@ 900-1000 years), were bred originally by the Royal Family of Hungary, and their comeback has been carefully managed.. They're considered among the smartest breed; are athletic and tireless workers; fiercely loyal and protective; exceptional with children. And gorgeous on top of everything else..

Coonhounds have fared well over the years at Westminster I believe.. Wasn't there a young one best of group last year?

For PJPQ
 

anyone who leaves an animal unattended for 2-3 weeks at a time is completely incapable of having a pet...and should not be surprised when that pet runs away.

You can watch the actual breed judging on video clips.Some won't be judged for best in breed until Tuesday,and the vids won't be up until Tuesday afternoon(more likely the evening.)

As far as the Viszla goes,those are hunting dogs.I don't mean that they use to do that.People hunt with them all the time,and therefore,they breed them towards this end.They love people.Every breed is more appropriate for some people than others.This breed has a ton of energy(which you would want in a hunting dog,)and unless they get a chance to use that energy,they can put it towards great mischief(jump fences etc.)One needs to really consider traits of a particular breed before they consider buying a type of dog.Breeders are biased towards their breed,and will tell you that there breed is no problem to own,but you need to find objective opinions about breeds.The most vanilla dog breed(meaning pretty much anybody will be able to handle owning) that I have had experience with is the Golden Retriever.

steve-o you need a cat...one summer time guest just loves them....lol..

pants off..akita-cat goes to town..claws flying..could solve the age old problem ..lmfao

The Dandie Dinmont is owned by Bill Cosby.

6 yo was only one of his breed to enter.

Won in a 'walkover.'

Give the dog a jello pudding pop.

I may be going out on a limb here, but I think Ms. Fat Ass here in this picture may need to lose a few pounds before making her debut at Westminster next year:rolleyes: Needless to say this is her favorite activity and her favorite position:o

Cajun,
I also hope for a coonhound, or maybe a visla, or the brittany (cause I've had a few). German shorthairs are nice too. Heck, a black and tan!!!
Just my two cents...it's very political.

Bubba don't mind a couple extra LBs....

Best in Show.. minutes away..
 

Please Lord.. not either of the poodles as BIS.. Please.. or Bill Cosby's annoying thing either...

I'll take the Springer...

Why don't the real dogs ever win?

Real people don't usually judge.My God, man,that f'n Hedge Hog Pekinese got 2nd in the Toy group.That was pathetic.It could hardly walk(it was trippin' on it's own hair.) Walked like a cripple.Atleast the judge of best in Show picked(what I consider to be)an actual dog.The Akita and that Spaniel winner were the only real dogs picked to be in the finals.They need to start the Che Che(Shee Shee) dog club of America for these f'n poodles n' Dusty Denmothers etc.
