I was hoping the Kerry Blue would do well, partly out of loyalty to terriers and partly because my neighbor has Kerry Blues. It was the Dal, though, that got my attention when showing.
Loki will bark at dogs on TV. He watched, but didn't bark at the Peke because he didn't recognize it as a dog.

I was on Facebook with a friend during the show, and I had just typed, "Oh, come on, people. Please...not the Peke..." when Malachy won. I then wrote, "How does a dog that looks and walks like a caterpillar win?"
In all fairness, my aunt had a little Peke whom she kept trimmed quite short, and he was an absolute joy to be around.
And, my goodness, what they are doing to the GSD is very sad, in my opinion.
I did not know PBGVs have such serious health problems. They and the Irish Wolfhounds are two of my favorite breeds, aside from Cairns, GSPs, and Min Pins. Well, add Spinone Italianos, Akitas, Glen of Imaal and Norwich terriers to that list, too. lol
And, please don't throw tomatoes, but I just love Dogo Argentinos. We have a club in our area, and they are breathtakingly beautiful dogs.
I was rooting for the Dalmation. What are the chances of having the spots situated perfectly around the eyes? Priceless.

I have to add my support to all those who had a negative reaction to the Peke. I am as baffled as everyone else!
I also find the grooming on such fine and handsome breeds as the standard poodles to be quite bizarre. Most of us know the justification for shaving the bodies and leaving clumps of hair, but I can't help suspecting that this might just be an ego trip on the part of the groomers... and did you notice what they've done to the heads!?

Regarding the PBGVs, is it just me or does that shortening of the name sound like heebie jeebies?

I didn't watch any of the coverage, but perused WKC's web site before and after the event.
I learned something interesting that the rest of you probably already knew..it really surprised me.
It seems there are a limited number of pups that are actually "invited" to the show.
(I guess everyone has to apply and cross their fingers.)
The Cairn who won best of breed, as it turns out, was one of the invitees.
I wonder how often that happens?
