How in the world did that black lab beat all the other labs and make it to the sporting group? He was fat, didn't have a good gait and he drooled! Otoh, the golden was gorgeous! I think he was the best looking dog so far in the group

IDK either. But, 90% of labs I have seen at shows have been chunky.

I know I'm sorry lab people cheering for the lab, but that dog?....no thanks! I would like to see it swim across a lake and then run a few miles. You can say anything about the GSD now, lol, didn't like her at all either.

I LOVE Eileen Hackett's dog! I have seen that dog show in person. I secretly love English Setters.

Darn it! I was rooting for that golden. I usually don't like the looks of most goldens. They are so over bred, but that one was great. The winner was cute thoug. Hard to argue that.

The English and Gordon Setters are beautiful I liked the Toller too. The Lab, no.

I love labs but I agree that the one shown wasn't a good sample. I saw and immediately looked at Sassy. She doesn't look anything like that (thank goodness). She much leaner and lankier but then again, she's probably not a pure lab.

I loved that Golden too. I have a real soft spot for all of them but the one shown was especially beautiful.

Whew, tough competition in the working group. Most of the dogs look really great.

Was I seeing things or did the Great Pyr have double hind dewclaws?

Who won working? I am at work tonight and had to miss the working group, which is my favorite. I DVR'd it though, so i'll watch a little tomorrow.

The Giant Schauzer won the working group. He was beautiful. I was hoping the Samoyed would win. That's my favorite breed of dog overall. The malamute would've been my 2nd choice though. Gotta love the Newfoundland :)

I didn't notice double dews but it was hard to see. The giant shnauzer (sp) won. Not my pic. I loved the mal, the husky and the sammy. All northern breeds of course haha. I did also love the bernie. I have a soft spot for those dogs. They are so loveable

Oh...but the Harliquin Great Dane was WONDERFUL! Big Smile I am absolutely thrilled that its the first time in any dog show that I actually got to see a Dane in the ring...usually they show them walk in and thats the end of it....I sit aound waiting for it and never see it again.

I thought the Schnauzer was beautiful myself...but it wasn't my favorite. Besides the Dane.......I liked the Newfie!

Giants are cool. My faves though are dobe, boxer, dane, rott, greater swiss, and BMD.

The Giant Schnauzer is gorgeous! I loved the Boxer too. I really would have prefered a different dobe....preferably a black/rust.

I'm pulling for the Giant Schnauzer. Gotta love those working dogs!!!
