Results are in from the 2007 Westminister Dog Show.
Good news...'Best in Show' went to a beautiful English Springer
Spaniel. This is no pouffy little poodle..... 'Diamond Jim' also has a
day job helping with therapy for alzheimers patients.
This dog has very similar markings and colour to my dog.
Now I'm ****ed at the wife... my Bronson 'coulda been a contender'..!

What a crock.

Look at who judged Best in Show.

It was preordained.


There is no other sport that is more subjective than Dog Shows, and open
to personal favorites and/or outright fraud. Not only is it extremely
subject, but you have one judge who determines the winner. In other
very subjective sports, such as Ice Skating and Gymnastics, you always
have a large number of judges scoring the contestants. I doubt this
will change, because that seems to be the way the dog owners prefer, or
they would push for a change.

I think your comment about "it was preordained", was a reference to the
fact that the judge had owned and shown cocker spaniels as a youngster.
