best in show was a movie, real people don't act like that... oh wait Update: Stewart's dog also probably had the most expensive pre-show meal. Below, he and Stewart dining at the Plaza on Sunday. Note the excellent table manners — and Martha's are okay, too. Even if Ghengis hadn't taken the prize, he would have been the fanciest dog at the show.

I thought the Irish setter was the best looking dog there.
The Pincher showed the best and I thought that one would win. I'm not a GSD fan really, but that was a beautiful example of the breed standard. Even the Dalmation was a great looking dog too. I wanted to punt that little ball of fur across the floor though. Really? A Peke? Toy dogs shouldnt be allowed to breed...... |

I'm partial to big mutts myself, but Pekes are cool little critters, assuming you give 'em a haircut and don't treat them like prissy dolls. They'll roll around in dirt, eat snow, and stick their head out the window of a moving truck, just like any other breed. They open up around people they're comfortable with. They're like live action cartoons, funny as hell. I've never been in the presence of another animal that was so entertaining. I can't really explain it. My Aunt had two, but one passed away last year. I miss the little bastard.  My parents have two pekes and also foster one or two additional rescue dogs. They're great little dogs if you want a small one and are often quite entertaining and loving as you said. They keep theirs cut short, many people do. The long hair is more of a show thing. They also owned registered and field trial champion bred English setters as well as labs back when my dad hunted.

My Peke is not a punk bitch.
She doesn't fit the "breed standard" as well as the rest of the litter she came from (lower maint.=works for me). They are all have the typical Pekingese coat. She has a shorter, softer coat; more like a Tibetan Spaniel. My wife wanted a cat, I got her the dog. Living in an urban apartment, I find it would be unfair to it to have a larger breed. Some of my neighbors have some, otherwise, beautiful dogs. Most of them are obese because they spend most of their time pent up in apartment and don't get the exercise they need. A pair of huskies are a great example. |

I dont beleive the term "Working" is specific to police/guard duty. The slang usage of "Working dog" tends to mean that the dog does some sort of bite work. You are correct though, that in the big picture "work" for a dog can and does encompass a huge number of activities. The various breeds all had a job when they were created. Many breeds have specific jobs like a Pointer, catch dog or flock guardian. Other breeds were created to perform multifaceted jobs. Where dog shows are complete failures is that they do not test and evaluate the ability of the dog to do it's job, what ever that job may be. If dog shows meant something, no dog would ever win best in breed or best in show unless it was BOTH the best example of the proper conformation AND performed it's job better than any other sample of the breed present at the show. A retriever should retrieve. A pointer should point. A catch dog should catch. A protection dog should protect. A hound should trail. And on and on. Even if the breeds only purpose was to sit on a lady's lap and keep her warm, the dog should prove it can do it's "job". The damn dog should be able to sit quietly in a lap for extended periods of time. A "lap dog" that constantly barks, nips at people, demands things and is a general nuisance is a poor example of a lap dog and shouldn't be bred. AKC dog shows are damn near worthless. |

I don't mean to be negative and perhaps I'm assuming too much about someone I don't know at all, but it really doesn't sound like she has a good grasp of genetics and breeding. |

She never expected or intended to get a dog that performed as well as he has, she mainly just wanted a dog that could handle retriever duties, and never really expected to take him past his 'started' title... once he started performing like he did, she decided to take him as far as he could go. She's a wildlife biology major, so she does have a pretty good grasp of genetics. The other dog is also an awesome performer, and more in line size-wise with what a lab should be... To clarify, they haven't been planning to breed them and charge $$$$ to strangers, she's had people that know the dog and his line well tell her for a while now that they'd love a pup if he ever was bred. I think the owner of the female is planning to charge just 4-500 dollars for a pup, and the people buying will be local people in the gun dog circle that know the story. No they won't be charging $premium$ money, but for the right price a pup from 2 proven performers (both with certified hips) would be a good deal and worth taking a chance on, even if one is a bit big and didn't have a champion bloodline. |

I had a Pekingese... loved that dog. Unlike these stupid fucks: Hey- send them to me- I love pugs. Best Dogs Ever- and that comes from somebody who grew up with -and loves- GSDs!

My friend has 2 pugs that look just like those. He loaths their existence. He's just counting the days until they die, so he can get a real dog. As for the Dog show..........The pussification of America continues

What about the winner didn't exemplify breed standards? I guess you guys have a better TV than I do, because with mine I can't see the dogs well enough to argue with the judges.
Hell, as long as a stupid poodle doesn't win that's good enough for me |

One of the most jarring things about growing in Germany as seeing dogs we normally classify as "foofy dogs", such as long-haired/wire-haired dachshunds, and BIG poodles, great big dogs that are taller than GSDs. I saw both dachshunds and poodles were being used as hunting dogs. Dachshunds are fearless against badgers, while poodles will run through water and swamp to get downed fowl. It was something to watch. |
