Well, I intended to watch it, but missed it for some reason. Yes, dog showing is very political and EXPENSIVE! That was the culmination of several shows and you might just see that Golden at Westminster this year. I believe it is an invitation only type show, but I could be wrong. I do like the way they do their group classes and Best In Show with the breaks in between. But, here again, it's money talking. That's the way they did for the Agility championships. You were lucky to see four runs in each category and a Jack Russell Terrier (betcha didn't see one of those at that show, either) won one of the divisions. It was great!

That sucks that some of you don't get Animal Planet. When I move to my new apartment, I may have to get cable or DirectTV just to watch that. Wish they'd put it on regular channels.

As for small dogs doing the most winning, well, yes, but last year's Westminster winner was a Standard Schnauzer (I do believe) and I know the Standard Poodle often takes top honors. But, there was one year when the cutest little Pomeranian took it and you could just see attitude all over that ring when that little dog went around. It was adorable.
