I don't understand the attraction to these Peking Disease dogs. I'd rather have a damn cat. Must be like that fetish for big gals.

I've never cared for them, but to each his/her own. I was pretty much an impartial observer last evening. I did enjoy seeing the "new" breeds. The Redbone Coonhound was a more attractive dog than I would have thought from the name. New (to me) was the Plott. I don't ever recall having seen one. Hounds and Herding were the most interesting Groups for me. No particular favorites, I just enjoy seeing many of them. Best handler conformation has to go to the Pembroke Welsh Corgi's.

I'm eager to see Sporting and Working breeds tonight, even though my breed never does well.

My German Shorthaired Pointer is named Alydar, that is why she is home and that dog won. Bid > Alydar.

I loved the Redbone Coonhound. Marvelous breed for a dog.

That was a really nice ESS - survived the cut but didn't get a piece of the group. It's easy to arm chair judge, but we're not the one in the ring getting up close and personal with those dogs.
