: Anyone watching the dog show?
: Kermit February 09, 2009, 04:20:43 PM
Westminster time!
I tuned in late only to find I missed the hound group!! At least I can watch the working dogs tomorrow night. But I watched online and saw the Scottish Deerhound that won the hound group... so beautiful!!! My boy Patrick almost looks like a purebred Deerhound but he is leaner like a greyhound. Anyhoo, I love those scruffy hounds so much and I am going to tell Patrick that one if his distant relatives was on tv. ;)

Can't wait to see the Danes tomorrow night!

Yup, just finished watching it, hopefully I remember tomorrow night.

So far I've picked 2 of the winners.  :D

I didn't realize it was on, but at least I have it set to record now so I don't miss the working dogs.

I worked tonight, so I taped it and am watching it now. It always makes me want all sorts of new dogs. So far tonight I want an Otterhound and a Glen of Imaal terrier. I have never met either one, just liked the scruffy way they looked, loved the Irish Wolfhound and the PBGV too. Can't wait to watch tomorrow night too.

We did..Rudder LOVES the terrier group. I swear he will go through the TV one of these days. We will be watching tonight. We are rooting for Rudders dad to win the newfy breed this afternoon so that we can see him tonight! GO LINCOLN....(ch. skippers eminence King of Helluland)

I was glued to the TV last night!!  All the dogs were gorgeous, but I LOVED the Irish Wolfhound!!!  Love that scruffy face!

You bet I was watching. Loved it when the Deer Hound won. I thought the collie was beautiful too. I am so wanting the Dane to win tonight!! Athena is keeping her paws crossed on that one!  ;D

Sporting dogs are up! I always forget how much I love the setters!

Ooooh show dogs are so beautiful. It takes a lot to make me want another dog... but it's starting to happen... watching dog shows is dangerous! ;) :D

Whoooo!
Haha, I called it, I so called it.
I had it narrowed down to the sussex and puli.

The dane was indeed striking but unfortunately backed off the judge when examined  I liked the Dogue a lot too- very handsome fellow indeed and the Neopolitan with out a doubt is the most hideous breed on earth can you imagine the drool???

HEY! None of that now. Back offa my breed (half of it, any way). You telling me a little drool would put you off Clancy's cute little face? I don't think so.

I thought the Dane was out of this world (guess I'm partial)  ;D. I too thought the Newf was so cute carrying his leash too. I thought of all the Newfies here when I saw that. I also loved the Pyr too. The coat on the Tabitin Mastiff was so unique and beautiful. I was dissapointed when none of them won  :'( So then for the Best of Show we (Athena & Myself) was so hoping for the Deer Hound but....

I guess there is always next year!

I did notice the Dane looked afraid of the judge- maybe a bit too timid. But gorgeous nonetheless.

The working dogs were all adorable. My favorite was the Tibetan mastiff. That COAT!!! :o

I did think the Great Dane was beautiful and immediately thought of Jack. The Dogue made me laugh. My mom has a Scottie so I had to tease her about her peeing during Best of Show judging. I recorded both nights and will probably have to watch them again a few times.
It did make me appreciate Clifford even more. For years as I watched I would pick out what kind of dog I would have if I could have any I wanted. I decided on the Newfoundland, but didn't really think I would ever get one.

I was hoping the tibetan mastiff would win group.  What a gorgeous coat!!  Reminded me of a lion.  I also loved that the newf grabbed it's leash.  How utterly cute!

I was not surprised that the dane did not win, it's been quite some time since one has done so well.

I was not surprised though when the schnauzer won.  Spirit has been winning shows left and right over the last year or so.  She really is a gorgeous dog.

I like to think they gave the win to the sussex b/c he came ouf of 5 yrs of retirement just for this show and he was 10 yrs old (I know that's not how they judge, but I'm nostalgic that way).  Plus you gotta love his name.  Stump.  I remember him from the early '00's
