Westminster 2009

[wizard]

How come in all the years (100+) of the Westminster Dog Show the sight hounds have only won BIS twice?
At least the fluff dogs haven't won recently (their voodoo must not be working).

At least my other favorite breed, the ever loveable beagle, won last year. A basenji can't be far away. :rolleyes:

Okay, it is getting closer. Does anyone know whose dogs have been invited yet?

I know that my Hippo's (Quercus Taji What In-Carnation) dad, Max, Ch. Platinum's Adrenaline Rush has been invited, but I don't know if he is going.

[Ambered]

good for Max, and Mary K
:)
Keep it in the family.

How cool that a tri won best of breed, and made the group cut!
I'm not prejudiced or anything, living with 2 tris and a black & white.

Actually, the Best of Breed, Best of Opposite Sex, and one of the two Awards of Merit (so three of the four awards given) were given to tris this year :)

I was thrilled to be able to watch the whole thing ringside. There were lots of lovely Bs present. I would not have been able to choose! I took lots of pictures, but most of them are of backsides, lol.

[wizard]

that's okay - their backsides are pretty cute :D

Where are the pictures???? :D

I didn't mean to imply I had seen Ambered's pictures - only that basenji backsides are cute.

Don't think it came across that way. I was just trying to hint to Ambered to post her pictures. :)

[Ambered]

okay wish granted, i put them up blurry and backsides and all. I am a horrible photographer. Other people in my family were taking pictures, hopefully they will send them to me and they will be better than mine. (if so, i promise to share)

Cool! You got some good ones in there. I'm excited to go someday now. You only get a glimpse of basenjis if you're lucky on the televised shows. Thanks for sharing.
