I wasn't replying to you. It just seemed to be starting to go that way (not by you again Pat) and I just wanted a clarification on where Jennie does show. Let's face it, Jennie has the money to do what she wants, where she wants. Like her or hate her, she does show her dogs worldwide. Most people don't know where she shows because she doesn't show in one spot, but I hear about it because of the newsletter. I welcome Jennie's wins because this DOES promote our breed.
That said, I wish more of us had big money to do what Jennie does. (at least for me!)

I was just wondering why I don't see her big winners entered in the bigger shows in the US. I have had the pleasure of meeting Jennie numerous events. Her handler (Larry) and I get along quite wonderfully. Money can be thrown around quite frivolously to send dogs where ever and get multiple championchips. If every breeder had that option some of the lesser known MBIS basenjis would be quite famous maybe more-so than hers.

Well I missed the hound group showing (didn't get home soon enough) but caught most of the rest.
In past years, the show has always been rerun the next morning. I didn't look to see if it was this year, but would assume so.
Does anyone know what happened just after the Best in Show judge was introduced and while they were introducing the other two gentlemen? Someone ran down the steps and was quickly grabbed and escorted out, but it all happened so quickly that I didn't really see what was going on.
I must say that I was really disappointed with the final result. Out of all those beautiful dogs, the judge picked the Pekingese?? Yea, yea, I know…the dog that most closely conforms to that breed's standards should be the winner, but really....

I have to agree, I thought the Dal was lovely…. but then I have never been a Pek Fan.......
-
I don't know what it is with Pekes, the term "Stallion of a Dog" doesn't cross my mind when I see piles of hair like that, and to me, their hair always looks dry and unhealthy… but, what do I know.

If the B can't make it I am always for the Dal, but even I have to admit that was a damn fine Doberman.
-
I'm sorry but that Pekinese, even though it has won before, is still just a waddling caterpiller to me.
My picks would have been the Dalmation, Doberman, or GS. -

My picks would have been the Dalmation, Doberman, or GS.With a Pekinese you aren't sure what is underneath that coat. He may have wonderful bone structure. With the smooth coated breeds you see what you get, no chance of hiding anything with hair there.
