Bella is a Newfie, right? My SIL has two of them, loves them beyond words. She will lay down on the floor, the dogs will each go on one side and fence her in...sweet ladies, all of them.

Best thing is, it hasn't gone to her head . . .

. . . now MY head is another matter. I am SO proud of my girl and how hard she works for me!

(the dogs DO get dog toys and treats as prizes, so they have something for themselves for their efforts.)

Gorgeous dog, even with the pancake and shirt...

She'd be beautiful in a gunny sack. ;-D

I've just been reading the rest of the thread. Lovely portrait, but I like the way her personality shows in the pancake pic...

God bless the furkids, they are so dear...

She's a real camera hound . . . I swear she preens and poses. She loves to have her picture taken -

She had nine stitches in her side from an agility injury - that's why she had the shirt on, to keep her from picking at the stitches. What's amazing is that she had the heart to give me two more runs before I realized she had cut herself . . . I noticed she was lagging a little and took her aside for a drink of water, patted her and my hand came away covered with blood -- mad dash across town to the vet ensued. She was friendly through it all, didn't even whimper when they syringed out the wound, and gave the vet big kisses when it was all done (the vet is a particular friend of hers - and ours - she's been our vet since we started breeding and showing Siamese cats in 1977.)

Ah, yes, with Lt. Cmdr. Harmon Rabb running a close second. I wish I were technologically capable of putting his pic up here. :(

Now why wouldn't you want a golden to win? They are the loveliest dogs. Of course, now that I have a Malamute/Husky cross, I love those breeds. Harm looks more like a Malamute with dorky lab ears. His mom is a chocolate lab. ;(

Didn't a German Shepherd win in 2002? What was his name, Dallas? He was magnificent!

I think the pug lost because of the touch thing. That had to be a big factor.

Ironic, isn't it - "Do you know that if that Westminister BOB
winner was in Denver, he would, by law, be confiscated and euthanized?"

They have a law outlawing certain breeds thought to be dangerous.

Question: Is this the same thing as a Pit Bull?

No, a bull terrier

Two different breeds

Isn't it a Pit Bull Terrier? How closely related are they?

My step-daughter says: "I like your dog because it's shiny and pretty. I would really like to pet her soon!"

(She really loves doggies and was taken by the picture of your lab and all her ribbons.)
