The servant showed ...Great photographing job, Asta! The servant showed Lindy Loo's daddy Logan at Westminster to years ago. Maybe she can help with some of the misconceptions.<BR/>First, the Airedales certainly DID compete. At the breed level. Winning Best of Breed at Westminster is like winning the Kentucky Derby!!! The handler of the Airedale knew before he entered that he would not be able to show the dog in the group, with his former boss judging, but didn't want to deny the dog his day. He walked the dog into the group ring, to let the public see him, and then asked to be excused. Some dog folks think it was selfish of the owners because they denied some other Airedale a chance, but that's another argument...<BR/>About snobby owners. Westminster is one of the highest pressure siuations a show dog and its owners/handler will ever face. For the most part, if a dog is showing at Westminster, it is a dog who LOVES to show! BUT!!! at regular dog shows, the dogs hang out with their buddies. They aren't benched from 8 AM to 6 PM with nasty little indoor shavings boxes to potty in! (Oh and the WFT's were there, but most of them are shown by professional handlers because of the grooming involved, so they would be benched in the professional handlers' section, instead of with the breed.) <BR/>And imagine how exhausting it is for a dog to meet 110,000 visitors! If a poor doggie has arrived at 8 AM and doesn't show until 2 PM, the owner who LOVES their dog TRIES to give the dog a break. A little quiet time.<BR/>And the owners are NERVOUS! Scared poopless! So they might be a little jumpy but that's no excuse for bad manners.<BR/>Thanks for the photos of our whippet friends. That was Handy (the black dog), and Annie, and Glory who was jumping up for the treat. Glory ended up winning Best of Breed!! It was very wonderful, because Glory's human has had a sad year with her sweet 4 year old granddaughter bravely battling brain cancer.<BR/><BR/>Well we hope this helps a little.<BR/><BR/>wags from the whippets who wish our servant would get off her butt and get us out to a show.Patience-pleasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13262203054740351060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4998033210956637416.post-5603759774511019212009-02-12T14:29:00.000-05:002009-02-12T14:29:00.000-05:00Pawsome reporting!!!

We so enjoyed your pictures. We watched the finals on Wednesday night. Grammie was so excited that she was able to pick the Best of Show. Isn't it sad that those dog people think they are so much better than everyone else. I am betting they put their pants on one leg at a time like everyone else.
