Dog Show - Night Two

Tonight is the second night of The Westminster Dog Show.

Last night's winners included this French Bulldog in the non-sporting group (close to my heart because my dog is a Frenchie/Boston Terrier Mix) and in the Hounds group it was the Whippet. An old poodle won the toy group, (apologies to poodle lovers, but I'm not one of 'em) and a Puli won the Herding group. The Puli is one of those dogs that looks like a mop - adorable!

The Dog Show

Well I was going to try to watch some of the Winter Olympics this year, but heck -The Westminster Dog Show is on tonight!

For a proper perspective, check out this article on why the dog show is better, for example:

Beagles. Beagles make everything better. They swagger around the dog show ring with a merry attitude, as if they just successfully stole the poodle’s food. They don’t usually do well at big shows, because judges prefer breeds whose hair can be styled. But Uno the beagle won Westminster in 2008, and he remains the most popular champion in the show’s history.

Yeah. I'll be watching the dogs! And I'm not pulling for ANY poodles!

Westminster Dog Show 2009

The Westminster Dog Show starts tonight! I love watching the dog show. Loved that beagle that won! And darn it, doesn't some silly poodle ALWAYS get in there? Sorry - I'm not a poodle fan.

Since I am still in allergy hell but am going on to work, I expect that I'll be curled up on the couch later watching the dogs.
