Westminster 2007- update pg 8 post112*REPLAY 2/13

[borzoimom]

Is on February 12, and 13.. I cant wait...

Ooooh. TBS airs it, don't they? Are you going?

[Freedom]

I stay up and watch EVERY year. Both nights. A few years back, I took notes on the breeds that I was interested in owning at some point.

Hmm, I should pull out that list. I bet bichon was NOT on the list because they are considered "high maintenance." Ha ha, joke's on me!

I think Animal Planet shows it???

[Ginger's Mom]

It's usually on the USA Network.

Ooooh. TBS airs it, don't they? Are you going?

The last few years, if I remember right- it was on animal planet and USA channels.
I wish I was going. Maybe next year- if I can get Zubin to finish and special ( alias competing in the Best of Breed ring, and win.) I hope to finish Galina as well, but the plan this year is for her to have puppies- that will knock out her coat and take her out of the ring for months.
There is also a new virus that is going through the dog world. I have heard it called " the dog flu" to " non specific canine herpes.". This is picked up by a dog you have at the show, then carries it home to the females in whelp- killing puppies ( sort of like what we went through in the 80's with parvo. When she has the pups, and two weeks before- no dog of mine is going anywhere ... lol..

Oh boy...that means a late night for me (11:00pm ). But that's okay. I love watching the Westminster and learning about all types of dogs. Thanks for the update!

[3GSDMom]

My dad and I are flying up there for both days. I'm so excited as it is my first dog show I'll be sure to take TONS of pictures to share with everyone.

There is a schedule for all the judging of the Westminster Dog Show on their Web site - it has the group judging for both evenings, Feb. 12 and 13: westminsterkennelclub.org
Borzoimom, there is a list on the Westminster Kennel Club of dogs invited to Westminster - so I was wondering - what qualifies a dog to be invited to Westminster? Maybe it has something to do with all those initials before and after the dog's formal name.

[Taz_Zoee]

I will just have to TiVo it!! hee hee

[lute]

OH YES!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!! Someday I'll go there!

[Karen]

Thanks for letting us know - now remind us all when it's closer!

[Danegirl2208]

Oh id love to BE there! But i'll settle for watching it on t.v i suppose lol

[Alysser]

I'm 99% sure animal planet shows it. I usually just watch bits a pieces of it. I'd love to go there to watch the agility rings, and the show.

[chocolatepuppy]

USA channel here. I love the herding and working groups best! Then of course the toy group.
Oh of course, I love them all!

[borzoimom]

OKAY guys- its getting close now.. lol..
Oh I hope the borzoi is Kalarney- he is the number one borzoi, and number 10 hound in standings.. ( that means of all the hounds- he is number 10- that includes the 15 inch beagle... lol...)
