Westminster Dog Show

[CajunMama]

Thanks for the link weathermom. According to that link the handlers knew they were taking a chance. I know if that were my dog and it made the best in breed of that breed i wouldn't be using that handler anymore. Who knows if one of those dogs would have won.

[Stephanie]

Hopefully the handlers told the owners.

Yes, thank you for the link weathermom.

second night of the show is on now.

Edit to add: How neat the sussex spaniel won. And he's 10 years old!

Edit to add: The 10 yo sussex spaniel won best of show. I was pulling for the puli.

I wonder if the owner named him Stump because the rest of his lineage never amounted to much, or they just like Melville?

[Category 5]

I love dogs, don't get me wrong. But why the heck is this on sportscenter? is walking a dog a sport now? Whats next? A yo-yo competition?

Needless to say though, there are some really cool dogs at these shows.

Actually, I was pulling for the Deerhound. I was really happy to see that 5 out of the 7 breeds in Best in Show competition never won the Westminster.

Stump almost died in 2004. His handler said that his systems pretty much stopped functioning and he was in the hospital for 19 days. He won "Best in Working Group" in 2003 at Westminster.

I loved how he sat up and begged after he won. Stump is also the oldest dog to ever win Westminster.

And he is from Houston.

Well we always knew that Houston had a lot of winners.

Stump is adorable ----- and he's older than me!!!!!!!

It's showtime again!!!! Tonight 7pm cst on usa network. Then 8-10 on cnbc. I don't know why it changes stations.

[Stephanie]

I was thinking of this thread today because I knew the show started tonight.

Go Boston Terriers!

[Stephanie]

Alright, I'll take the French Bulldog instead! They are so cute too!

One of these days, a Boston has got to win best in group.

[CajunMama]

Again tonight! 7-10 cst on usa network.

And Steph...i just knew you would be the one to respond to this thread

[Stephanie]

Ten more minutes!

[Stephanie]

The Scottish Terrier won. The way she was groomed, it looked like she had eye lashes - is that how they are normally groomed?

I still liked the French bulldog. The Whippet was pretty too - she looked like a chocolate sundae.

I'm not partial to poodles, but I must admit the miniature toy poodle was cute.

I honestly thought that the Doberman was going to win.

[CajunMama]

The scottie was a shoe-in. Won the other top 2 awards in the dog world this year and was the most talked about dog.

My favorite out of the finalists was the french bulldog...the crowd favorite too.

[Stephanie]

The Scottie was gorgeous.

The French Bulldog's eyes are so expressive, much like a Pug or a Boston Terrier. I loved when they showed the close ups of the finalists, the first one being the French Bulldog and you could hear the audience going "AWWWW..."

[Pburgh]

My BIL has two Scotties-----Fergus and Angus.
They are so cute and they do look like they have long eye lashes. They're really sweet dogs.

[CajunMama]

It's time for the Westminster Dog Show again! Tonight it's on USA tonight at 7-8pm cst and 8-10pm cst on CNBC. Tuesday night will be 7-10pm cat on USA.

May the best dog win (and hopefully not the usual cutesy dog!)

[Stephanie]

I can't even begin to guess with the hound group. They're all good looking dogs.

[CajunMama]

I just have never "gotten" the pekinese. I don't find that breed attractive at all.
