BTW... I checked out your videos too. My absolute favorite vid is titled “Facing A Doberman”. It was sure apparent that the little boy has been around dogs and knows what he’s doing. I love it.

Okay, I need to quit looking before I get hooked all over again. “Yes dear” would kill me if I got another dog right now. She’s still adjusting to the chickens, ducks and geese. LOL

You have some very beautiful dogs.

>Now an Akita needs to win Best-In-Show. <

Preferably one that is not as structurally unsound, feminine (it’s a male) and lacking in breed character as the one in that photo. Yikes!!!

Especially with that beautiful, funny Newfoundland in there. That dog’s markings were gorgeous and the playful personality in a dog that size was a hoot :) And both the Malamute and that little boxer were also stand-outs.

While the Portuguese Water Dogs are nice enough dogs, I have seen better examples of the breed : /

Pretty sad that even dog shows can’t get away from the political foolishness.

You're thinking of those terriers. Corgis are herding dogs bred short to stay under the kicking hooves of sheep and cattle. They are faster than the wind which is admittedly hard to believe when looking at a still shot.

They always seem to do reasonably well. How could they not?
