1. I'm watching on the west coast

Those Pedigree dog food commercials are wiping me out.... Sad pictures of sad shelter dogs with the voice-over "Don't pity shelter dogs. ..... Adopt one". Sending me into gales of tears!

On the other hand... Tamara (Hall?) from MSNBC is co-anchoring and her flip little joke-at-everything, take-nothing-seriously attitude is setting me off in different direction... grrrr!

On yet another hand.... the dogs, as always, are just teriffic! I think I've only seen a corded-coat Havenese once before... maybe last year? That Japanese Shin is magnificent, as is the Maltese. Also never seen a fully-coated Chinese Crested before

I'mm lovin' the dogs!

Damn! That toy poodle won yet AGAIN!!!

[elleng]

2. But poodles didn't win Non-sporting!

and there were 2 of them, Min and Std.

Sorry have to wait 'til tomorrow for FINAL! Terriers LAST group.

[housewolf]

3. Yes, just the Toy group

It just seems like the poodles are ALWAYS winning... I like to see it spread around a bit more. My favorite group is the Herding dogs - I'd take almost any breed of herding dog, just love them.

[elleng]

4. Love to watch them doing their work!

[housewolf]

7. I love the big dogs

I had a 120-lb Great Pyr mix who I just lost a couple months ago (at almost 15 years old, for his size he'd outlived his life expectancy by quite a few years). He was a spectacular dog. Now I have an Old English Sheepdog who is also quite interesting. I keep her groomed and clipped though, 'cause I couldn't deal with the hair-care on a daily basis those dogs require!

I'm looking forward to tonight's showings.

The Whippet that won the Hound group was spectacular, as was the Greyhound that came in second. Most of my favorites didn't place.

I guess you'll have to wait till the last group to see your terriers... sorry! But then you'll get to see the winner of the Terrier group go right into the Final.

9. Love shape of whippet and greyhound;

MY dog is Bedlington Terrier, same shape, with the wind!

Won once, long time ago, when owner was a rockefeller!

[elleng]

10. Used to watch with the girls, too.

Kind of am doing so now; older daughter, anyway, is watching in jersey; i'm in md. I love them allo, and can't have a pet now. Damn.

[Zoigal]

6. Yea...a whippet took Best of Hounds...

Great dogs...we've had three..just lost our last one in November...z

[housewolf]

8. That was a spectacular Whippet

as was the Greyhound that came in Second. I loved watching them. So many great hounds this year.

I was thrilled to see the Scottish Deerhound place this year, and the PBGB - well, I ALWAYS root for them, just love them!

[housewolf]

11. Day 2 - Hunting Group -

I don't know the winner yet, but that Golden Retreiver is just SOOOO gorgeous - probably the prettiest I ever seen

[elleng]

13. I agree, but even so, didn't make it!

[housewolf]

15. She didn't even call out any of my picks

The Bernese, the Giant Schnauzer, the Golden...

[housewolf]

12. The Working Dogs -

Wow, this judge looks like a princess in her sequined velvet gown!

I love this group of big dogs, too

[elleng]

18. Hope you like Scotties.

On to Olympics for me.

[elleng]

14. Best looking Bedlington I've seen at Westminster.

[housewolf]

16. Yes, exceptional Bedlington

Didn't place, though...

Once again I'm surprised by the judge's picks.

[elleng]

17. You noticed!

Bedlingtons my family dog!

[housewolf]

19. They are one of my favorites in the Terrier Group

They're so sweet-looking, like little lambs. Besides that, I'm a sucker for white fluffy dogs!

[mopinko]

20. just thought i would point out that it was the scottie that won.

cute kid, full of terrier-ness.

[elleng]

21. LOTS of them were!
