It's our tradition to have DH's folks over to watch the Westminster Dog Show on Monday and Tuesday. I love the show and the commercials.

We've got extra reason to watch tonight. DH's cousin just won best of breed for the Australian Shephard. So we'll get to see her run the ring tonight.

We always cheer for the bigger dogs. DH's folks have Siberian Huskey's so that's their favorites. DH cheers for the lab since we have two lab's. I cheer for Brittany's since I have an older Brittany.

Do you watch? What breed do you cheer for?

[lukeandbrookesmom]

I watch I love the larger breeds I used to raise Siberian's so they are my favorite!

We watch the reruns on the weekends.
DH loves watching the big dogs, any of them.
I like watching the working dogs, terrriers, and toy class.

[elbug10]

I like all of it. Thanks for the reminder that it's on tonight. We had a bassett hound growing up, so I'm partial to them, but I just like seeing all the breeds and hearing about their history.

Siberian Huskies

How neat to have something like that on - we don't really have anything like that over here.

What night is this on again? I have my breeder who has one of her dogs in it, a Greater Swiss Mountain dog, named Artoro. I want to tape it.

I watch it on and off but we ALWAYS root for the Schnauzers....especially
the mini's.

I raise Australian Shepherds so we are always pulling for the Aussie!

My red merle, "Mattie," is the mother of last year's Best of Breed and Herding Group winner, Vinelake Collinswood Yablon, "Deuce". She was the first Australian Shepherd to ever win a group placement at Westminster. I kept her sister, Vinelake's Wanna Bet, "Keno", so the whole family was going crazy when Deuce won. Sadly (for us) she didn't win BoB today. We'll still be rooting for the Aussie though! (From home in Massachusetts.)

I also have a rescued Maltese, my Aunt raises Akitas, and my friend raises Bernese Mountain Dogs, so we route for them as well!

Lorie, I forgot to say congratulations to your DH's cousin and her beautiful blue merle boy Briarbrooks Copyright! He's a beautiful dog & we'll be cheering him on tonight (& hopefully tomorrow)!

We will just have to cheer for Deuce next year. This year her "brother" Vinelake's Collinswood Oz "Wizard", was there in her place, but didn't make the final cut.

we cheer the spaniels, esp. the cockers.

I have showed and owned Golden Retrievers and Pembroke Welsh Corgis, so I always cheer those breeds on. I'm drawn mostly to sporting dogs since the professional handlers I worked with showed mostly sporting dogs when I was with them as a teen.

I had many friends show in Junior Showmanship at Westminster when I was a kid, 4 of whom are even past winners. Sadly, I could never afford the trip. But I still enjoy that aspect of the show since I know what it takes for those kids to get there.

I always get a kick out of seeing a familiar face of someone I showed with or worked for when I watch now.

We actually go to a show every year!!! I love it. Its at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. The AKC puts on a massive show that is so much fun. We like to watch the dog go thru their show stuff. Last year we have a Shih Tsu that could care less about winning a prize. It just wanted to run around and lick people while in the ring!!! Funny to watch though the owners may not have liked it to much. We like most breeds except the bullies!!! I would strongly recommend that people go.

the Newfies!

I love to watch it. I have a Dalmation, a Schnauzer, a cocker spaniel and a yorkie so it's hard to choose. I love all the dogs on the show.
Good luck to your cousin.
