Best in Group: Shih Tzu, Panda
2nd Place: Pekingese
3rd Place: Pomeranian
4th Place: Italian Greyhound
I gotta say, I’m not a huge fan of little dogs, but I do love the long-haired ones like the Yorkie, Shih Tzu, and Maltese. They look like Cousin It, and their little feet scurry so fast under that fur skirt!
Winners in the first breed group, the Hounds, are as follows:
Best in Group: Borzoi, Lucy, who came all the way from Japan to compete this week
2nd Place: Whippet, Brazen
3rd Place: Saluki (sorry – I didn’t catch her name)
4th Place: Beagle, 15-inch, Victoria
My Redbone didn’t make the cut, but I still think I want one!
It’s finally here! Westminster week! Will you be watching?

The schedule:
Masters Agility FOX Sports 1, 8 – 10 pm tonight
Conformation: CNBC 2/15 8 – 11 pm for Hounds, Toys, Non-Sporting, and Herding Dogs
USA 2/16 8 – 11 pm for Sporting, Working, Terriers and the all-important Best in Show
If you’re in Canada, Animal Planet will have the live shows on the 15th and 16th from 8 – 11 pm.
Can’t get to a TV? WKCLive.com will be live-streaming the breed judging from 8 am – 5 pm both Monday and Tuesday. The evening best in group and best in show competitions will also be live-streamed from 8 pm – 11 pm Eastern, with a time-delay on the West Coast so they won’t see it until 8 pm PST.
I can’t find anywhere that will be bringing us the obedience trials. Maybe next year?
As always, I’ll be live blogging both evening events, and I’ll try to post a few things from the agility competition tonight, as well.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
All Dog, all the time! News, photos, reviews, guides and more.
