The Labrador Retriever is the most registered dog in the country. The Rottweiler is the 13th most registered dog. The Golden Retriever is the 3rd or 4th most registered dog. None of these breeds has won the biggest dog show in the country (Westminster.) This English Springer Spaniel breed has won it 6 times. So, yes, the Spaniels, Terriers, and Poodles have an advantage going in.

It is difficult to take working dogs of their breed, with outstanding performance conformation, and win at dog shows (I know because I breed, show and hunt my dogs, and one of my dogs qualified for the Euk National two years ago) Those are "real dogs", to me.
I have a hard time watching some of the rings nowadays, seeing straight-upper-armed, too long, sloped-backed, sickle-hocked dogs win  There is a specific conformation for "successful show dogs", and it often has little to do with the history and skills of the breed, unfortunatelyThe commentators at the Euk mentioned the Scottish Deerhound having a visibly different type of movement. Yeah, totally incorrect ... Min Pins are very cool dogs, though. Certainly agree with you on that! And this little one is exceptional. Yes, for a Min Pin to win so many BIS (even groups) is outstanding tro:
