Maybe it's because you're in Canada? It's the AKC (American Kennel Club) Eukanuba Championship.... so maybe it's only on American TV? I don't know.. just a thought.

I'm watching it now!!

I watched it, the handler that I use to show some of my dogs is there!
Hopefully some day one of my guys will make it that far!

It wasn't on over here. All of the AKC shows come on TV in Canada like 2 months after it actually happened lol.

Can somebody clear this up?

Was Jeffrey there or not? I was told he was going to be there, but a different Peke was there (and, quite frankly, I did not think it fit the standard very well). Of course, I could not see him in person and I couldn't see his head very well. Oh well....Jeffrey will be at Westminster, right???

thats so cool! it must be SO much fun to show your dogs and meet everyone in that huge community. I know people who show Border Collies from the BCCNC, and they're the nicest people. Your gorgeous Goldens definitely deserve to go there!! did you see the Golden that won viewers pick? so beautiful.

Giselle, I don't think Jefferey was there.. I thought I heard something about him retiring? I dunno? he was such a cutie!

[lovemyshiba]

I can't remember the Peke's name?

How adorable was Luther, the pomeranian??? He should have taken the toy group

The Shiba in the non-sporting group looked typical--doing the "shiba shake" on the leash while the handler was getting him ready to walk him around

I had to catch the second airing of it at 11 pm since I was at work, but I wish I had been able to watch it live and vote.

Is this even if you have Animal Planet(like digital cable)?

I know that before I had digital cable, it would come on in like Feb. on a different channel like Oln or Discovery.

Jeffrey was not in Toy group and I was really surprised. I didn't know he was going to retire! Les retired, though...(I think). Needless to say, Coleman snatched Toys. It'd be SO exciting if Coleman and Jeffrey competed together. They will at Westminster, I'm pretty sure.

Note: I'm so glad the judge picked up the Peke while he was on the table. Don't know if that's standard procedure, but it should be!
