Puhleeze. I could judge this in my sleep

Are you a judge? Have you ever judged? It's a whole lot different judging outside the ring than in. I don't necessarily agree with the Sporting Group Judge's opinion, but it is Westminster - there's a lot of paybacks and politics going on.

So true. Now go Alaskan Malamute!

Forget the malamute. Doesn't have much reach in the front end.

The boxer is another one that was heavily campaigned and advertised last year. Wouldn't be surprised to see her get the group.

That was a pretty nice "pile" that Judge Collier pulled out in the Working Group. I also liked the Siberian. The Doberman looked gorgeous on the stack, but the handler was handicapped by a bit too much weight and didn't move the dog to its full potential. Portuguese going Group I? Maybe she's looking for a trip to the White House.

Where did the St. Bernard handler get that jacket she was wearing. How embarrassing to be captured on national tv with a jacket 2 to 3 sizes too small and not covering up an abundance of "speed bumps."
Meow, meow! Yeah, I know - it's petty, but I can't help but comment.

Perhaps it was his markings, but that Smooth Fox Terrier caught my eye. He looked like Phantom of the Opera. Really surprised the Sealyham didn't get a piece of that group - what a resume.

I think another Smooth Fox could go BIS. Please, please, don't let that dustmop Peke win - please.

I like the Bearded Collie but I'm thinking it's between the cocker and the Peke.
