Calling all dog lovers
Tonight and tomorrow night Westminster Kennel Club Dog show. it is on CNBS and USA channel on cable. 7 or 8 PM.
For those unfamiliar with this type of show the dogs compete by breed in various catagories, From the top of my head it is ... Puppy (may have different age sections), bitch (female), dog (male). the the winner of each of those goes head to head with the other breed winners to get BEST OF BREED. Then each overall BEST OF BREED winner goes into it's respective group to be judged against each breed's official standard, not against each other,as they can have very different shapes of dogs within a group. Not sure which group are tonight If memory serve the groups are Sporting, Non-sporting, Herding, Working, Terrier, Hound and Toy.
Four of the seven groups are tonight then tomorrow the last three groups and BEST IN SHOW from the winner of each group.I know people often find dogs on a book cover, a knick knack, etched in glass glazed in pottery or in a sculpture. I remember times that people ask what kind of dog is this what do I call it?
Well now is a chance to see lots of different breed and learn to "guess" what is on your item.
