Reminder: Westminster Dog Show Tonight

[FirefightnRick]

On the USA network at 7 central.

I look for the female Boxer named Scarlette to win the working class and possibly Best In Show.

Strong pit bull contingent this year.

Interestingly, Pedigree lost their sponsorship this year for refusing to clean up their ads depicting dogs being mistreated. Purina is now the sponsor.

Half of the Hound group seemed to all be from Texas, including the Petit Bassets Griffons Vendeen, named "Jodell Boogie Back To Texas" that was from Alvorado, TX.

Pits are not AKC recognized breeds. The closest you get to an AKC recognized American Pit Bull Terrier is the American Staffordshire Terrier.

You know what, I mis-read...I thought this was the West Side Dog Show.

On a serious note, I don't watch much TV so what were the ads that Pedigree wouldn't pull?

Guest's best work?

In my opinion it is. And as much as I enjoy his other films, it's not even close. Dog shows just seemed the perfect venue for his sense of humor.

Best in show is one of my fav's.

Although I love Harlen Peppers, can't dismiss the greatness of the Man with Two left feet.

Thanks for the laugh Rick. That cracked me up!

Well, as expected, Scarlet won her breed(Boxer), but finished second in the working class to a Doberman.

How about that new breed they introduced last night? It's the Norwegian Lundehund, it has 6 toes on each paw and it's shoulders can be spread out wide to the side like a humans rotor cuff.

And the winner is a Pekingese named Malichi. Didn't see that one coming.

Rick...is this a joke or do you really follow the Westminster Dog Show this closely? It's a big deal, I realize that, but just wondering if you are kidding here or if you really do follow it this closely?

[Green Mean]

I didn't know anybody ever really watched this show.

No, it's not a joke. My wife was a huge fan when we met and through researching Breeds for our needs as we started to plan our family years ago I got to watching. Then when Best In Show came along and had me rolling on the floor, I couldn't help but pay attention each year it came on after that.

But I think this is the first time I've posted about it? Just figured there was enough dog lovers here to deem a thread?
