That’s a cat.

I like sporting dogs and toys. We have Cavaliers and love spaniels.

[mewzilla]

My cats are more canine.

I thought the Schnauzer, Pug and Border Collie were better but the judge liked the Bichon! Beautiful dogs all, there really wasn’t a bad choice.

Boxer power

I was watching the dog show and they had a 12” category. That was interesting.

As Mike Baxter says, “They aren’t dogs if they can be beaten up by a cat.” My wife has two bichon - shih tzu mix dogs. They are very loving, but not the smartest dogs in the tent.

Mine is named Skipper. This ain't him but its close.

Looks kinda like my Choppy...his look for telling me: "Look, human, get me some damn Peanut Butter, or I will ignore you all night."

Or he gets his cow thigh bone out and chews on it loudly and long, on the hardwood floor, so that it reverberates throughout the house, sounding like someone is chopping wood...hence his name.

Say what you will...they actually smile...and I'm not one taken to anthropomorphize my dogs...too much.

It’s so perfect it almost looks like a stuffed animal.

Corgi’s rule the universe. The rest are dogs.

Very disappointing. The Border Collie exemplified the breed in every way, including it’s constant attention on the handler. In fact, it needed very little handling at all.

[nuconvert]

The Hallmark channel is doing that. Not sure when

[Haiku Guy]

With the Border Collie, it is always a question of who is handling whom...

[bramps]

Thanks for the heads up.

Q: How many Borders does it take to screw in a light bulb?

A: Just one, and the job is already done.

I was rooting for the border collie .

This was the only actual dog in the show. Too bad it had to be pulled over a hematoma in his ear. Damn!

That other creature that won is horrifying, not even a canine. Ew!
