Yeah I watched pretty much all of it but what was up with the 2 best in show ceremony things b/c first it did all of the categorys but herding then a best in show where the Golden Retriever won, then it did the herding and had another best in show???

That confused me too. When the Golden won, I thought the whole show was over. But I think it was Best In Breed or Best of Breeders or something. It took me awhile to figure out the show was still going on.

If anybody would like to see the winners go to this website and click on the columns to the left.

The Golden won Best Bred By Exhibitor, which is a whole diffrent category

Electra co-owners dog Blaze took BOS for Tollers, her sire(UKC US CH Cinnstar's KD's Red Tornado WC) showed but did not place, but her sires half brother took an award of merit

I watched parts of it off and on. I thought that little white toy poodle was so cute - she was soooo "girl"! She won the toy group. - and yes, that Borzoi was fabulous! I also thought the Kuvatz was stunning. I thought that the male weimariner that showed was one of the best looking dogs I've ever seen- I wish he would have made it into the BOB. And that german shepherd was beautiful too. Ah heck, they were all beautiful!
Had to laugh at Costello, the malemute that won last year....he walked off camera half way through his "spot" with the host -- haha, he's got that Northern breed personality, too - so long Mr. Independent!

Thanks for clearing up the GR situation. I almost shut the TV off, thinking the show was over.

Of course I wanted the GSD (cough, cough) to win, but all the dogs were awesome.

I've always loved Retreivers (esp. the Flat Coat and N.S. Duck Toll)but I thought the Dalmation was spectacular! Don't start me on the Border Collies....

Logan stuck her nose up in the air and walked out ))
