And the Winner is...
The Newfoundland has just been named Best in Show at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. (We were rooting for the Pembroke Welsh Corgi, a great little dog with the added attraction being that we think Abbye has some Corgi in her bloodline.)
The Newfie is a great dog, though, and a crowd fave. Can't argue with that choice! (Abbye, however, was unimpressed.)
Spoken like a true Big Gold Dog owner.
I think I heard them say tonight that a Golden has never won Best in Show at Westminster. That's hard to believe. I may have to research the veracity of that claim...

I can't believe I missed it - I thought it was on next week.
*pout*

The dates for 2005 are 2/14 & 15. You are officially alerted! ;-)

It's a travesty! Golden Retrievers have been getting short changed regularly. I believe it's because everyone knows that they are the most beautiful, loyal and intelligent breed and so not to show their obvious favoritism, they have to award the prize to dogs of lesser breeds.
