Is this going to be on USA like it has been in the past? I remember Bill Cosby had a dog entered in it.

The Pomeranian, Affenpinscher, and Minpin (assuming this bitch wins the breed) have longshot chances. She's about 7th-9th rated Toy Dog in the country. I would expect she'll be a top 5 rated Toy Dog (in the country) by the end of the year. I think, she could get a top 5 in this show. If she doesn't win the breed, then, it will be that Soldier Boy Minpin. He will have no shot. Won't even make the first cut. He will probably bark at the crowd etc.

My breed, Rhodesian Ridgebacks, has the largest entry - 56.

French Bulldogs are 2nd with 44.

46 Goldens.

38 Labs. No matter, Labs never win.
It's so political. Which is why I only show in obedience and field trials. But still I'll watch.

I just scanned Monday's entries. Yup, Goldens have the 2nd highest entry; Frenchies are 3rd. Amazing how quickly Frenchies have captured the attention of dog owners. We're thinking seriously about getting one - but they have a myriad of health problems. We have our name in with a couple of well-known and reputable breeders who diligently screen for known health problems. They say it's a 2 - 3 year wait and the price is $3K and up. Yikes!

They're not for me. I've been around 6 of them that I can remember off the top of my head, and they all had awful temperaments. I know someone who had one bite him in the face and had to have reconstructive surgery. That's just my own experience, admittedly, but it's enough for me to steer clear of them.

Interesting! I've had the exact opposite experience meeting up with Frenchies. The last one I met was Seth Benzell's Frannie. What a trip she is. I want one just like her. Have our name in with her breeder.

New York has gone to the dogs, according to sportscaster Mary Carillo.

And that's a good thing, said Carillo, this year's co-host of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.

Providing dog-show running commentary alongside longtime host David Frei won't be too far removed from the tennis and Olympic events she often narrates.

"So many of the dogs, they really are jocks," said Carillo. "These are trained athletes, and they are judged on that."

We have a Gordon Setter, though they apparently don't get much love at the WEstminster show.

A friend of mine had a Gordon Setter as a pet and hunting companion for 13 wonderful years. He was a great dog. He kept his hair trimmed for ease of grooming, though.
