National Dog Show - winner

[applecruncher]

I'm a cat person, but I like to watch the National Dog Show. Saw some of it last week. I love the way those highly trained dogs strut with their handlers :laugh:

For the final category - Best in Show - I liked the Doberman, and the Cavalier. But the winner was the Whippet. (One of the hosts is actor John O'Hurley, the handsome silver-haired J. Peterman from Seinfeld.)

Hubby and I watched the dog show - I kept remarking on how much the announcer put me in mind of J. Peterman. Didn't realize it was actually him! LOL Thanks for the info.

I saw it too, AC. I thought the Doberman had the edge, but the Whippet was beautiful too. I'm both a dog and cat lover.

Thanks for posting that AC, I didn't get to watch it on TV. All fine looking dogs, the Dobie was very handsome and the Whippet had beautiful eyes, my nephew has a Whippet and a Cavalier.

The Lhasa Apso is pretty when it walks, but OMG all that hair! I wonder how it can see/get thru the day.

That was one of my favorites. Would need a full time hairdresser for the dog.

Watched it also. We are Husky, "bird dog" and "herding" fans. Use to have a mix, Siberian/Malamute, female we name Nikki. She absolutely loved Colorado snow and we really made her look pretty for Christmas. Took a picture of her, me and my wife in front of our house for Christmas cards. She's now gone, as well as the house and living in Colorado, but making plans to return to Colorado.

I didn't watch the whole show but I did see a young boy showing his beagle. So cute to see them both. He must have only been 12 years old. His hair color matched the orangish-brown spots on his beagle

Now I'm in the mood to watch "Best in Show" again. Hilarious movie and it's why we decided to watch the dog shows when we happened upon them. In the case of the National Dog Shows and that movie it's hard to tell if art was imitation life or life imitating art.

If you enjoy tuning in for even a short bit of dog shows, I can highly recommend the movie.
