Got to admit....I'm partial to the OES "Swagger" in Herding group. One of Fred Flatt's relatives! @WKCDOGS

After watching this show for over 20 years, one gets the sense that the judges know who's likely to win. While the results aren't fixed per se...

it seems like they know who will win. For example after hearing the record of the Affenpinscher, I knew he'd win the toy group, and he did. It just seems like the group in the Best in Show group rarely has upsets....the Old English Sheepdog notwithstanding.

I'm rooting for the Old English Sheepdog. He won't win I'm sure.
I have two friends who were very much into showing dogs back in the 90s and they indicated the judging was all politics - just like figure skating.
Both of these ladies were in the skating world - one is a coach.

Dogue de Bordeaux, ha ha, that strikes me funny, dogue

**Garden Kitty** · 02-13-2013, 03:26 AM

Yay for the samoyed on behalf of Miffy!

Portugese Water Dog wins with a haircut
Doberman
Boxer
Rottweiler

**Rob** · 02-13-2013, 03:37 AM

I like Porties, but I was rooting for that Sammy. And the Bearnese.

**Garden Kitty** · 02-13-2013, 03:41 AM

So far I like the hound and the herding group winners - not thrilled with the Portuguese Water Dog.

**Jem X** · 02-13-2013, 03:44 AM

I didn't like that Lion cut on the Porti - they are prettier with a fuller cut.

**Jem X** · 02-13-2013, 03:45 AM

Terriers now, I used to have an Airedale, so of course they are my favorite terrier.

**my little pony** · 02-13-2013, 03:53 AM

So glad she got the treat!!!!

The Breeder/Owner/Handler of the Colored Bull Terrier was Mary Remer, we did two Puppy Kindergarten classes with her with two of our Labs, who only wanted the treats, not the tricks.

**my little pony** · 02-13-2013, 04:06 AM

omg they come in minis!

**Lacey** · 02-13-2013, 04:23 AM

Border
Smooth Fox, this was one that looked like Phantom half black/half white face
Wire Fox
Lakeland
Russell
Scottish
Welsh
Westie

And the winners are Smooth Fox, Wire Fox, Border, Russell

I think a big upset as the Wire Fox had won 2 previous National Dog Shows this year, one was outside of Philly at Thanksgiving and one perhaps in Cal.

Russell was a newly registered breed this year, wow.

**Garden Kitty** · 02-13-2013, 04:27 AM

That smooth fox was adorable. I know they're judged against the breed standard, but it deserved the win because of its adorable face mask.
