The Collie is in the Herding Group. It will be judged tonight. Full coverage of the WKC show is available on the USA Network. Check your local cable listings.
Tonight they will be judging the Sporting and Herding Groups, as well as the Hounds. My bassets and I will be cheering for this guy, who won his breed today. Then again, he wins the breed every year. Three years ago, he won his breed and the Hound Group. When he walked out for the Best In Show category, the audience yelled its approval.

Also, I disagree with the poster who stated that dog show people treat their dogs like beauty pageant little girls. Most of the breeder/handlers I have talked to genuinly love their dogs and make sure that they and their offspring have wonderful lives.
Ever try buying a puppy from a reputable breeder? It is easier to adopt a child, LOL! Whereas puppymill breeders just charge you an arm and a leg and sell to ANYONE.
