(9,709 posts)rooting for the pug...I'm hoping one will break the breed's Westminster losing streak, which now stretches back to 1981..

(29,694 posts)this is just the best picture.....I might have to steal this one, is that ok? They are a d o r a b l e.

Three of the best dogs ever. Doxies are the best breed. Just like Lay's - you just can't have 1!!

(21,803 posts)That this gets more coverage than women's sports sucks big time.
Upton
(9,709 posts)way more people watch Westminster than women's sports. You want some coverage?...Get some ratings.
Auggie
(31,177 posts)or media in general?

Auggie
(31,177 posts)so I would expect it to be a big media event.
I'd have to agree with Upton -- the broadcast ratings aren't quite there nationally except for Women's Figure Skating and perhaps Gymnastics. And dare I say -- beach volleyball?
Fortunately, LPGA and Women's Basketball -- college and pro -- seem to be thrive on cable. Softball too.
BTW, threads on women's sports and your thoughts regarding them are always welcomed.

ProfessorGAC
(65,134 posts)The announcers commented on how classically shaped that dog's chest was. But, apparently that is an even bigger deal than i grasped.
El Supremo
(20,365 posts)What a terrible name!
Upton
(9,709 posts)I believe he's a repeat winner from last year. Westminster is fixed..or at least it's slanted so the dolled up dogs.. pekes, poodles, etc...always have the best chance. That's not the way it's supposed to be..
El Supremo
(20,365 posts)is now the favorite to win it all. He did win group last year too.
Not my kind of dog.

(29,694 posts)I really thought the doxie would pull it out....it sounded to me like the audience like her too.....and that doberman was just awesome..... but I guess the mop thingie was pretty cool. I really enjoyed the final round last night, they all were winners.
RockaFowler
(7,429 posts)That big furball just waddles. The Doxie, Doberman, Kerry Blue, Dalmation, Irish Setter & German Shephard were such beautiful dogs. Of course I have a soft spot for the Doxies, but the others were just so regal looking.
