I love this show. I didn't have any specific favorites the first night - none of them jumped out at me like Uno did last year. Will see what happens tonight.

Yeah the poodle was just too stringy for me. I can appreciate them when they look well conditioned. I secretely hope it doesn't win. I'm rooting for the puli so far.

I totally missed my chance to get a look at the deerhound, was it the same one that took the group in nationals?

I also loved the white bull terrier. I was disappointed that he pulled out a good diverse group and then went with terriers that all have a relitively similar look (coat, size, build).

I can't wait to see the sporting. Opposing what somebody mentioned in another thread, I don't like the American type labrador. I think they look like something a byb turned out and not carefully planned at that. They're too houndish and would probably be better suited for companions or dry land hunters. Give me the shorter powerhouse version thank you.

I had a hard time staying awake last night, but the little Scottish Terrier caught my eye. That was one spunky little pup!

I gotta say the Terriers are cute but how many are there? I had to fast foreward a little bit to get throuh em. How "terrier"able of me lol. I love the ginger coloered one, like the color of an irish setter, i forget what kind of Terrier it was called. I have an australian heeler so I am partial but haven't watched it all yet.

Kelley and Valentine( still no camera for picture or sig, sigh,

You're right - there are a lot of terriers - and several ginger colored ones too. You might be thinking of the Norfolk Terrier.

I will be watching tonight. The Toy group is on tonight. I'm always sad when the Chis don't get picked. If one was ever chosen, you all could hear me cheering from Florida.

I just love to see all the dogs but I get crazy over the Chis.

The only dog I don't understand winning is the herding group winner. I've seen that Puli in person and he's, in my opinion, not that nice. Plus, they dye the dog's coat. I was kind of bummed about the Ridgeback not getting placed. Not because I'm a huge fan of the breed, but BOY THAT DOG COULD MOVE!!!!!

Can't wait for tonight!!!
