I fell asleep on it when the wife had it on last night.

I tuned out when they called it a sport. Someone walking a dog in a circle doesn't fit my criteria for sport.

If you can't time it on a clock, measure it in inches or pounds, or keep score on points scored by the participants, then it ain't a sport.

What that silly thing they do in the olypics now where a pixie girl twirls crepe paper and does the splits? Sport?.......bwahahahahahahah!!

You are a tough crowd. LOL

I have a neighbor back home who breeds and shows beagles. She's said that the WDS is nothing but politics. Would never go to it. And she's had dogs that qualified for it.

If you ever catch Animal Planet's show "Breed All About It", on Beagles she is featured with one of her dogs.

"Someone walking a dog in a circle doesn't fit my criteria for sport."

I remember watching Westminster several years ago. A rather 'large' woman was running her dog for the judge (remember -on camera, front and center, national live television). Whump! Flat on her face (the woman, not the dog).

We laughed probably for about 20 minutes straight. The kind of laughs where you will stop laughing and have a straight face only to break out in hysterical laughter about 15 seconds later.

Oh, was that funny!

Yes, there is ~some~ athletic skill required for Dog Showing.

The "sport" is the breeding and training..my dog would have fallen asleep and snored ..

My son says if there is no ball it is not a sport..maybe your two should fight it out..
