    There's a few newly recognized breeds in the mix this year I believe. Of course they're not new to the world, just to American competition. It'll be interesting to see how American breeders have changed their looks to suit American preference. Somebody will have to hold me down when they show the toller (orange border collie?).

    BOUNCE! Today is the day!
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    Now this is just downright mean. The Non-Sporting group is on CNBC and at the same time, Alec Bilodeau, mogul skier is receiving his gold medal and the Canadian fans are going berserk. I'm flipping channels back and forth like mad!

    I sat up for the first 3 of the 4 groups, just couldn't stay up -- yawn. Not that the dogs are boring, not at all! I love it! I was just too tired.

    Will try tonight to get to the end. This was never a problem when I was younger.

    I did love Lola the 15 in beagle, was surprised she didn't make group.
    And the Frenchie, well, that came out of nowhere! He heee.

    The all white min poodle is stunning.

    I missed the last one of the group.

    I watched it all - switching over to the Olympics during commercials. The Puli won the herding group - same dog won this group last year.

    I loved the Bulldog - she had a certain look about her.

    Puli? Cool!

    Hey was anyone else surprised to see the Havanese in cords? WOW, but then when David Frei said the owners have both Puli's and Komondors, well, I could see it.
