Who did you want to win?Originally Posted by cassiesmom
:-| The dog I was rooting for didn't win Best in Show! I am bummed!
My mom was oohing and aahing at the spaniels and laughing at the terriers' little legs as they walkedWe both enjoy watching the Westminster show every year.
Personally, I liked all the final 7 - and was delighted Banana Joe won!!

The Bichon, the Fox Hound or the Old English Sheepdog
The Old English Sheepdog was awarded Reserve Best in Show - dog people, what does that mean? -- The man who judged the terrier group is from St. Charles, Illinois, which is a western suburb of Chicago; so I'm hoping that he will be interviewed for the newspaper or TV news soon about judging the group and more about the Westminster show. Or maybe he already was and I missed it.
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!

Fuzzbutt Luvr
I fell asleep early into the show last night, so didn't see the results until this a.m. Such a cute little guy that one - but did I hear that he is now going back to The Netherlands??? From the category winners on Monday, I was kinda leaning toward the Old English Sheepdog to win (and of course the Bichon) - I always said I wanted a SD - but I like the little lap dog sizes to share my household!

What a wonderful show. The Clumber Spaniel caught my eyes. Loved all the dogs thought they were all winners.
The frost is on the pumpkin & I've been BOO'D by two pet talk ghosts.
Thank you Fritz & Cassiesmom

Reserve best in show would be awarded best in show if the winner is determined ineligible to win. Its the runner-up basically.
I was still hoping the foxhound. It makes me think of the days when a person's character was judged by their horsemanship and their dogs. But the affenpinscher is a toy terrier of sorts and terrier's hold the most wins in Westminster history. I remember that same fox terrier took the male win for his breed last year but not the best of breed.

I was rooting for the sheepdog. Bobcat was rooting for the foxhound.
It did seem to me that the smaller dogs were favored. All are winners in my book!

I did not realise the typical (well typical here, pedigree JRT) is now called a Russell Terrier in the USA. Just doing a quick search and a lot of these 'Russell terriers' are from similar lines to my Harri and his family. Bizarre.

Last year's Best in Show winner was the Wire Fox Terrier. I wonder which breed will be the winner this year! There are two new dogs this year, Coton de Tulear- a fluffy white dog from Madagascar, and the Wirehaired Viszla, from Hungary. Maybe one of them will win! My mom and I will watch it together.
