Watching the 7 finalists, I half believed the Shih Tzu was a possible winner. It was certainly an excellent dog. The beagle didn’t really grab my eye.
I thought the Springer Spaniel was a perfect example of a Springer Spaniel. I would have gone with the Springer.
But, to be honest, the lines, head, attitude of that Beagle was 100% pure Beagle. Besides, I like Beagles, and although I have a Ridgeback, I’d readily pick up a Beagle. (The wife wants a German middle-standard poodle, and I already have a dog. Lol.)
Shih Tzus are not real dogs.
I’m not sure exactly what the heck they are, but they are not dogs.
