The same channel as the parade. That’s how I heard about it. It was mentioned in conjunction with the Macy’s Parade. I’ll be looking for it too. I love dog shows. I try to out guess the judges and then it gives me a half hour’s complaining time because the Golden Retrievers never get the blue ribbon.

With all the millions of beautiful Golden Retrievers in this country, you’d think that an occasional one, or two, would be worthy of Best in Show! It’s just not fair!

I asked my son-in-law (who majored in marketing) why there are so many Goldens in ads, and he says that they teach that in marketing school — a Golden Retriever is an appealing gimick in an ad. Sort of like the pretty girl in short shorts sitting on the car hood in the 1950s, I guess.

Just watch some time, and you will see more Goldens in ads than any other breed.

I used to have a Golden. She was an amazing dog. Of all the dogs I’ve ever owned, she was the most affectionate and most in tune with my moods and emotions. She lived to please us and make us happy.

I now have two greyhounds, a pomer-uaua (Pomeranian/chihuahua mix), a poodle mix, and a dachshund mix.
