    No offense to the favorites of others, but that little Beagle has stolen my heart. How neat it would be if he gets Best in Show. My second choice would be the Akita, but what do I know? I would have put the English Bulldog and Golden Retriever at the head of the pack, biased mom that I am!!

    miss Electra daddy took BOB for the Tollers, so my main desire was to see him in TV lol, I never liked him much in pictures, but seeing on TV he looked fantastic, close family resemeblance to Electra, their markings are almost the same lol. Stormy has much better movement though, Electras look really weird, like her heels click when she moves lol.

    I remeber I had the opposite reaction to Maverick, I adored him in pictures, but when I saw him at Westmin. I was really turned off, his front and his movement looked so awkward and stiff lol

    I really liked the toller in the group. That was Electra's father? Nice dog.

    I was crossing my fingers for anything but poodle...anything but poodle. Don't get me wrong, poodles are nice dogs. But they win too many times in America its made me not like watching American shows. They don't win best in show at westminster too often, but they always take the group over amazing dogs of other breeds, like the chow and sharpei in this show.

    Shayna, I watched the Toller judging. He did a great job, and I don't think there was a doubt at all that he would win. Although I really wanted Sizzle (Best of Opposite) to win, but that is because I had spent some very lovely time with her by the benches. She is a sweetie and her handlers are very nice. I also met another sweet male Toller (pictures coming tomorrow), and everyone the Toller area were wonderful to talk with. I am truly hooked.

    When I saw the Toller show they were saying something about his daughter getting best of opposite sex. Would that be Miss Electra's half-sister?

    edited to add:
    I answered my own question by actually finishing reading the thread
