I'm tired of seeing those ugly little 'foo 'foo dogs win year after year.
On the other hand most Golden's could not care less if they got an award- they are too busy being playful and making their families happy.
My late Logan, RIP
I'd to see a Peke or Boxer or English Bulldog win.
Enough with the poodles.
OK Willie... I admit that with wire haired, long haired, mini and standard, Daschunds have a bit of an advantage but THEY NEVER WIN. Why? Because they have to compete against sight hounds. What weirdo decided to match daschunds against pharoh hounds in the same group.
I agree that border collies would be in the finish for smartest dogs but they are totally too OCD to live with. I love the Australian Cattle dogs which, in my book, would win the new catagory of REAL DOG. Except that's the problem when you show them, they slink in like a wild preditor which is what they are with a very thin layer of civilization and training. We all know that they dream of ripping the throats out of small children but are just too smart and well trained to do it.
And thank you for leaving Labs out of the running altogether. What a total loser of a dog. They are soooo dumb and they shed constantly and want to sit in your lap. Labs are what people want who can't decide on what dog they want.

And I'm just wondering how this writer will keep from being axed in the back alley by Corgi lovers, who are proud to own the very smartest and second-oldest breed in the world.
I don't believe Keeshond's have won the Westminster either, in spite of their obvious, traffic-stopping beauty and incredible intelligence and charm.

In the performance league, obedience, Goldens are king. They produce more Champions than any other breed. Why just look pretty for the beauty pageant when you can do something.
Yea. I'm biased.
Funny this guy can capitalize every dog except his own favorite. Every dog breed should be capitalized - Golden Retriever.
Personally, I couldn't care less if a Golden never wins. It's not enough they're in every damn commercial and most movies as the normal ideal pet dog, never mind supposedly perfect?
I have a knee-jerk anathema to the popular retrievers. I'm sorry to those that offends, but that's just the way I react when something's way too popular (esp if I see it as over-rated). It's a psychological disorder. ;-)
My golden is a search and rescue dog. Here he is on Sunday making a find and coming back to tell me. Let's see a toy breed do this!
Whatever, the dog that wins the best prize is the one that has a great owner......that makes millions of happy dogs (and happy owners).
I'm a cat person, but if I got a dog it would be a golden. They're so friendly, happy, and beautiful. My sister, a dog groomer, says they're stupid, but since she owns an afhan hound, and is a definite dog snob, I don't think she's the best judge.
