    I actually picked the winner this time. That's a first for me. There was just something about that spaniel. Not a breed I am into, but I loved Stump. The non stop tail wagging I think it was did it for me.

    I have become an admirer of the Norfolk Terrier, for sure. And, David I both really loved the Scottish Deerhound. What a beautiful, happy gait!

    I was so happy Stump won! Gotta love it when the oldster wins, especially if he isn't the most glamorous of the bunch.

    I didn't like the standard poodle either, not at all. I groom some better looking standard poodles than that one, I swear. The toy poodle, OTOH, was so adorable!

    And I LOVED the rough collie, that dog is gorgeous.

    It's been a long time since my breed, the smooth fox terrier, was in vouge at Westminster.

    I've had to go back through the judging photos several times to get a closer look at the dogs. I wasn't impressed by the smooth chihuahua when I saw it on the tv, but its photo is adorable.

    This is one of the first years I didn't watch the entire show. I missed some of the Terrier Group, and some of the Toy Group. I thought Stump was cute. I heard he has two kids. I can only remember one of their names...Root. I thought that was funny. Root and Stump.
    I love Fenway, JoJo, Olivia and Nonnie!

    I loved them all....now that I have Boomer, I think the spaniels are precious....I loved the way the Springer in the show stacked ( I think that is what it is called) He was pretty.....Boomer wouldn't stand that still if a million milkbones came his way! I liked the boxer, too....and of course, the dal.

    Wallace will stack in front of me with a loose lead, and then he immediately plops his butt on the ground. Standing still for that long is considered a waste of energy to my dogs
