Thanks for the heads up Scuds.. I try to watch it every year...Always fun. My favorite class is the working dogs.. Love Boarder Collies.

Remember a few years back that one dog got lost? I wonder if they ever found it...It was like a favorite to win it too...

I always dreamed of me and my Cocker Spaniel giving this show a try. Envision this -

and here is Curt with Brandi, a Cocker Spaniel. Oh wait, we need a clean up as it seems Brandi has done a number one. Oh wait, Brandi has done a number two and is turning circles.

you have to be kidding. wrestling was never wrestling, it's always been fake-a soap opera for guys.
dog show comes on once a year, i doubt it would prove fatal to miss one nights rasslin.

The smartest dog I've ever had was a Springer Spaniel mix.

I prefer big happy dogs

i always like the descriptions, and the warnings that 'this is NOT an apartment dog' when they talk about some of the breeds-jack russell terriers for instance.
