ok annie who is taking the Herding group???

[anniegetyourgun]

Well, here we go!

Yeah there was that run a couple of years ago when it was all Terrier judges and all Terrier winners. I remember awhile ago when the Standard Shnowser(sp?)won the owners father was a previous judge who just happen to be the judge when the current judge's terrier won, So there was definitely payback there.

I don't know about the dog shows you attended but the Westminster is definitely political and corrupt.

I personally hoping for the Austrailian Shepard as I have one, But since herding dogs are country dogs they don't have the connections as the others.

Thanks, it was scary, but now she's fine with medication, but she is 11 and a large breed.

Wow, GSD made the cut.

[anniegetyourgun]

I need to seem them once around....then I'll say!

[anniegetyourgun]

I think the Corgi.....

All the Pekes that have won at Westminister were very good Pekes. Ch Chik T'Sun of Caversham held the record of the most Best in Shows for years and in the days when there wasn't as many shows as there is now. Other winners included from the famous St. Aubrey Kennel, Ch. St. Aubrey Dragonora of Elsdon and of course Ch. Wendessa Crown Prince. All great Pekes.

Oooh the GSB is named "Genuine Risk"...named after one of the few filles to win the KY Derby if I recall...

[anniegetyourgun]

CORGI TAKES HERDING!

[Severa]

Damned if you weren't right! *LOL* Good call!

[anniegetyourgun]

ON TO BEST IN SHOW!

[Kath]

I don't agree Wesminster is corrupt. These are the best dogs in the country. A judge could almost close their eyes and point. So if the Norfork wins, how is that a corrupt decision as that dog has been selected Best in Show all year and won enough groups to make it the top winning dog in the country.

AGYG <-----taking a bow!

Seriously, it's a great Corgi. However, I don't expect it to take BIS.

[not_apathetic_anymore]

Arent several of these dogs repeats from last year for BIS?

[Kath]

The Hound Group and the Toy Group are repeat winnes from last year.

[anniegetyourgun]

Seems to me that fluffy, long hairs are popular in the dog show world. *shrug*
