Saw the first night, and all I can say is...

THE AUSSIE WAS ROBBED!!

FINALLY, the Aussie gets represented by a black tri, instead of a blue merle. The Aussie didn't get in the top 5 for the herders.

Having said that, KUDOs to the Tervuren for coming in second in its group. :Clap: :Clap: :Clap: :Clap: :Clap: Any comments from Windsor?

What do you think of the new Icelandic Sheepdog breed in the competition?

The toy group winning Pekingese was hideous. :Boo:

I hate Pekingeses considerably less than a lot of people do, but I understand why people don't like them.
The bulldog was just ridiculously cute.
Above all, I am glad that (for once) neither of the stupid, terrible poodles won.
I couldn't care less who wins Best in Show, but I will enjoy watching. My aunt and uncle, the two biggest dog people in a family full of dog people, come to Mom's every year to watch, since they don't have a TV. That's why I'm making this delicious, delicious chili and corn bread. Should be a fun evening, as always.

The Obamadog won. Sammy came in 4th. Stupid Kuvasz took the spot of the Pyrenees.

I wouldn't gave given the nod to the Obamadog. Just not my type.

I am watching the terriers so that Sasha can see what a Miniature Schnauzer is really supposed to look like. :O3

I disagree. We all thought she was a worthy champion. A very beautiful dog, with a noble carriage. This household was pleased.

I liked the Scottish Deerhound. I'm glad the pet psychic that told the Pekinese it would win was wrong. That thing looked like a mop scooting around the ring. I thought its hair was way too fluffy. But, what do I know.

Plus I thought it was neat that the handler of Hickory had also won as a Junior at Westminster.

Yes, I know that I could have added this to the prior post but that wouldn't have been as much fun. This way I get three posts instead of one. :happy-bouncyblue: :happy-bouncyblue: :happy-bouncyblue:
