1. Chinook- NH sled dogs in the working group.
2. Portuguese podengo pequeno- Hound group. I don't know **** about this dog but I can't wait to see it
3. Rat terrier (Terrier group) -"An American breed that may have originated from a variety of terriers, greyhounds and beagles, they were very common on farms in the early 20th century to battle jackrabbit infestation. As their name suggests, rat terriers are exceptionally good at catching rodents, but they're also playful, sensitive and anxious-to-please and make good family pets as well as therapy and service dogs."

Come early and come often. I think Chanel the whippet, my favorite show dog has been retired, but there is someone out there who will catch my eye this year and be the next must see mutt.

Updates to follow. God bless the doggies.

Cute little guys

Hard to believe the "Rat Terrier" wasn't recognized until now.. They've been around awhile.

The Chinook looks like a cool dog.
