Westminster-17 Pictures

[Ginger's Mom]

Well, I finally got to Westminster. :D We didn't stay for the final judging due to weather and the fact that the people I went with had to go to work today (I took off) and it is a 2 1/2 hour trip. But what I saw I LOVED, and we are already talking about going back next year (both days and staying for the final judging). Well, I took tons of pictures, but I have cut it down to 40. Here is a link to the album. http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/gingerjoy/Westminster%202008/
I am just going to submit a sampling here.
This was the long-hair chi winner, and to be honest, he owned the ring the whole time he was in there. :)

The Irish Setter winner. Was standing behind his owners, they started crying it was very sweet.

Upon meeting this guy I was surprised at how much bigger Swissies are than Berners.

One of my friends asked me to get some pictures of the Great Pyrenes, and I lucked out and got this.

Tollers in next post

[Ginger's Mom]

Thanks Denice, I was afraid that would happen. I think I fixed it (crosses fingers).
Okay, Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers. There were two very nice ladies from Cyon Kennels who were very patient and brought their dogs out for me to meet. I was actually surprised at how small Sizzle (Too Hot to Handle) really is. She is only about Ginger's size. Sigh, I now want a Toller more than ever. :)
Look at this face, unfortunately, I forget his name.

In the ring. This is one of the guys that I spent a lot of time with in the benching area.
