They know they're cute, as well. Can't get mad at her, because she peers up at you between those long bangs and wags her tail so hard you'd swear her butt will fall off.

I love Schnauzers, particularly the miniature ones. it's partly the name. Schnauzer. I love it. They're so serious looking, with their little beards. I also love Scottish Terriers, and Soft Coated Wheaton Terriers. Beagles are pretty cool, too.

Well, I have seen it all and Best In Show has been pronounced. But, I won't spoil it for you with delayed feed. I do know that it was one of the best groups of dogs I have seen in a while.

Today (from my nail lady of all people!) we were offered a shih tzu mini tea cup puppy possibility.....depending on the gender of the witty bitty litter, we might have a teeny weeny little pure breed!! We are sooo excited. And if not from this litter, then the next for sure!!!

MerryPrankster · 02-15-2005, 09:57 PM

I'm watching now. Although, I already know who wins Best in Show. What a gorgeous group of dogs.

I love Mary the Weimaraner...such a beautiful animal.

Edited to add: I wuvs the beagles. *smooch* The hound group is so smoochable.
Sorry, I can't help myself.

So, it is final now on the WC, right?

I have my stand-in Norfolk Terrier on my lap (Jack) and have to agree with the judge that the German Shorthared Pointer rocked. But, the Norfolk was a very close second.

The bedroom slipper, Jeffrey, scared the hell out of Chris. Is that really an animal or is it a tribble?

Border Collies, while VERY High Maintenance, are fun to watch, and were my third choice.

I need a bigger house.

Carlee the German Short Haired Pointer, Best in Show, was magnificent. What a performer, just perfect!

I really loved Coco the Norfolk terrier too. She is so adorable with great stage presence. I'm going to doggy-sit my neighbor's dog this weekend, Jasmine. She looks a lot like Coco. Very smart with great personality, I love spoiling her.

Knotty the bloodhound was also a favorite of mine. I liked Merlin the border collie too, although I have known a couple of psycho border collies. I don't know, their owners are a bit psycho so that might have something to do with it. Fame, the Great Pyrenees was also beautiful.

Jeffrey is scary and funny. He looked like he was going to topple over. My husband and I were laughing every time he was walked around. I'm not into lap dogs, either. They're not my cup up tea. But, wow! What a beautiful showing of all the dogs!

Darn my network TV!!! I love the dog show. Europe is much smarter than we are regarding dog shows and won't allow cropped dogs to be shown. Maybe someday we will reach that level of civility with our dogs. I love to see all the dogs, but especially the giant breeds. We haven't had a dane win in a long time.
