If you missed this year's "National" here is a link that will get you the whole coverage. I like the Westminster show, too, but it seems a bit over-the-top at times. My dog is smart, personable, and too inventive for his own good. There should be a show for mutts.

A close friend of my girlfriend showed a dog in it - the Pharoh Hound, halfway down the page.

Nice-looking dog, that.
 
The Corgi's always win my heart.
 
Dog shows are fun to watch. Of course it's even better since seeing "Best in Show". (My favorite line from that movie: "We met at Starbucks. Not at the same Starbucks but we saw each other at different Starbucks across the street from each other." :biggrin:.)

The mop dogs are my favorite - those are the ones with long white dreadlocks.

Best in Show" was too much fun!

Yikes, I forgot I posted that, rootX. That was a couple of years ago.

Yes, I have a girlfriend (for almost 2 years). It is long distance, so if I disappear one (long) weekend a month, you'll know why. :wink:
