She now has won the Toy Group in a show 23 times. Yesterday's was in a Montgomery,Alabama show. BTW a Rott named "TUX" won his career 15th Best in Show yesterday. So, "real dogs" are winning dog shows, but not the 2 or 3 shows that are on T.V.

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, unfortunately

The 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:
