These are my favorite winners through the years.

1987 - the first year I watched, this glorious GSD, Manhattan, was the winner -

1996 - Brady, the Clumber Spaniel - how could anyone resist this face

2004 - Josh, the Newfie

2008 - Uno, the Beagle. I knew he was a winner the moment I saw him.

Oh Grace, please don't forget 2001, JR!! Back then, I didn't even know what a BF was!

I remember Brady, first time a Clumber won! And Josh, oh my gosh, just wanted to snuggle in his coat. UNO?! What a personality on that one, hee heee.

If you follow a particular breed, results of today's breed showings are up. Here are the BF's:

The hound group is done! And the winner is ____________ (I won't say it here in case anyone hasn't seen it yet) Can I just say though: wow, beautiful. The dogs in this group are so different from one another! I picked a different dog to win, but I always do.

Edited to say: The toy group is done and once again I chose a different dog to win. But that's okay. Some day I hope to be owned by a Papillon. My upstairs neighbor, 2 doors down has one and I just love her to pieces.

Edited again to say: Non-sporting group - that's 3 for 3 I picked a different dog to win! You know which one I chose in this group and why.

LOL, thanks for that, Grace!

Non sporting is up now!

I just love this event

Drummer made Group 2! GORGEOUS bichon, just gorgeous!

Back 4 years ago, when I was looking, it was the Papillon I thought I'd get. Then some folks on here suggested the bichon.
