Our mutts say, "Bark Bark, Woof Woof, Grrrr!"

Beagles... I remember watching when Uno won and cheering loudly because they're my favorite breed (and I had TWO at the time!) Glad to see Uno has continued having a great life.

We almost always watch it but I am just now seeing this! Will tell DH before tomorrow night and maybe I can record tonight's show in the morning. Thanks!

I predict that the German Shepherd will win Best In Show.

Hot damn, they have a Boerboel in the working group. First eligible to show. Love this breed.

I'm just getting off work. I feel like I've missed everything!

Of course he's biased, but this is Toro's "Mom, I'm not impressed" look

Awwww, Toro is Westminster worthy too.

Thank you for reminding us that we could tune into this -- a fun antidote to the campaigning hooha

Awww thanks! Im glad you enjoyed the info.

Excellent point! It's been hard to get away from the campaigning coverage.

I was half right: a German dog won.

Apparently I missed my calling and should have been a dog show judge. I correctly called every group (except herding, which I didn't watch), including Best In Show. Career change?

 

[House Cat]

I wanted ALL of the dogs to win!!!

Nothing makes me smile and and squeal and wiggle my toes as much as Westminster. I say "oh I LOVE that dog" to each breed. I am like the crazy dog lady.

I saw my border collie mix giving me the side eye. She understands English perfectly well. I had to give her head scratches for reassurance.

You must have a great eye for good conformation in dogs! There is always a need for good judges too!

I love it too! It's so fun to watch!

I especially enjoyed watching this year because they had live feeds of obedience. Mixes can compete in many AKC events now so you see quite a variety of dogs!

A friend from my Golden Retriever group who has a Golden and a Leonberger posted this picture of Dario from the Working Group. Apparently there is also a video on Facebook (to which I have no access) if one wants to see Dario attacking his handler's pocket and losing the event while becoming a crowd favorite.
