I think that Afgan Hounds are very beautiful show dogs I acctully am changing my mind over irish setter!

[cocker_luva]

Are you going to buy a dog from Khaos?
Have they any Afghan pups "kvar"?
Disa (puppys mom) is so sweet, a fawn. But i like/love her son Gondor better :p :D :)

I said 'other' because my vote would have to go to the poodle. Although I really intensely dislike the show cuts that they must wear, it does show off the excellent coats that these dogs have. Not all poodles are able to wear that cut, due to different grades of hair texture and thinness, etc. (a complaint that many of us humans have when we go to the hairdresser and say "make me look like so and so.") No matter how much we might like "good hair" we aren't always born with it. So it is with poodles.

Also the intensive grooming and sculpting which is done by the groomers in my opinion deserves an award just for the painstaking job it is in and of itself. I groom my own dogs and have been grooming my poodles for over 30 years. Believe me, a dog that sits that long and patiently for the show clips is a real hero in my opinion.

Of course I am probably too biased to even be replying to this post. :p :rolleyes: :D

[Layka3000]

:) That is so Cool>

[ParNone]

Even though I have a Smoothie, the most beautiful to me
is the Rough Collie. That gorgeous coat and soulful eyes are
hard to beat. If we go with cute though, I gotta go
with the Cairn.:)

[magcpen]

Other- I have a bias towards pomeranians, but in all honesty I'm not sure which is most beautiful, lol. :)

[Uabassoon]

I think it's sweedish.

I voted for the afghan, I think they look so beautiful in the show ring.

[xoxjoanie]

I guess I'm partial to the Yorkie! They have a beautiful silky coat!

[Layka3000]

Cool! :D

[cali]

lol I cant really answer I dont agree with showing, all my favorite breeds are working dogs and I hate to see them in the show ring. showing tends to breed for looks only not for ability, beardies?? a REAL beardie looks for like a wire coat border collie, then those long haired bouncy things in dog shows, a real beardie aint bouncie either. and border collies, in shows what you see is long fluffy coats short muzzles and little legs, a real border collie, never have fluffy hair, they have a long muzzle and long legs:eek: and a german sheperd I cant stand how angulated they are in the show ring, I am suprised they can even walk!:( sorry I will get off my soapbox about showing dogs now *blush*

but if I had to choose one it woul dbe a saluki:p

I like all of the breeds, but my two favorites would have to be the poodle and the Samoyed. I don't really care for the show cut on the poodle, but they move so nicely, and sure do know how to show the judge of what their made of!:D I also love the Samoyeds, because I just love the way some of them stand! I don't know why:rolleyes: Oh well lol:p
I love all show dogs, all working dogs, and absolutely all dogs!:D

[Layka3000]

What do you think is the most common breed to win at the shows? Just-a-wanderin?

[GoldenRetrLuver]

Theres no most common breed to win at the shows. It all depends on the breed standard.

Looking at statistics from Westminister (the super bowl of
dog shows here in the USA), a whopping 45% of the winners
come from the Terrier Group. The number one winniest breed is
The Wire Fox Terrier with 13 wins, Scottish terriers 2nd with
7 wins.

[cocker_luva]

didn't Mick the Kerry Blue Terrier win last time?

[Foam]

Definetly Other.
There is no 'perfect' showing dog, because they are all so diffrent! :)

[Layka3000]

Yeah, it does all depend on the breeds standards.
