Travesty... Should have been between two poodles (standard and toy) and, possibly, Weimaraner which one commentator kept mispronouncing.
Not a great show overall this year, disappointment.
The judge went with the crowd’s choice, the Beagle. Uno is a nice Beagle, but I’d have gone with the Weim or the Aussie. The poodles were OK, but not that great on movement. The Weim is the all-time greatest ( in number of shows won) ever. That Aussie was good, too, but it’s hard to tell beyond movement, because of all that hair. That’s the Weim’s biggest disadvantage as a show dog. You cannot hide any flaws with their thin coat. Everything HAS to be right. Which is why it is rare to see one win a BIS.
I find it amazing that the total BIS count for the finalists was over 330 shows won combined. That’s a LOT of shows.
Those poodles were the most obnoxious-looking things I’ve ever seen (as are all similarly-cut Poodles).
I’m glad the Beagle won. Snoopy Jr. at least had some personality. ...and looked like a dog, not like a French Fruit.

I thought it was a great looking lineup. I’ve shown there several times, in the past. For as political as Westminster is, they always end up with great looking dogs.
