Westminster Kennel Club - Monday
The 131st annual Westminster Kennel Club dog show is on again, Feb 12-13.
I was very surprised in the first set, the working group, even if I'm not an expert. The three handsome dogs I liked got nary a ribbon.
The Fox Terrier I liked best placed second in the Terrier group, though. And though I wasn't taken with the winner, I loved the name: Fineus Fog. (Any relation to Isotope Feeny's Foolish Fog?)
I like every group except for the toy group, with yapping little runts heavily over-represented. Sadly, yet another poodle won this group, followed by yet another (yawn) Pekinese. The only bright spot was the third place pug.
I was shut out again in the final round, the Non-Sporting group. Another ugly poodle won this one. Is there any dog more ugly than a poodle, especially with a classic dog show trim? Give me a mutt instead, every time.
Tomorrow are the Sporting, Hound, and Herding groups, plus Best in Show.
