Does this one have an obstacle course???.  I love watching the little buggers run their owners through the obstacle course.

No, this one doesn't have that or in the past it hasn't shown it on TV. It's strictly a typical dog show. This is the biggest dog show in America with the most prestige.

There was an agility contest on Animal Planet though, last night.

They are showing  4 new breeds this year. Some of the breeds you might have heard of, but they are finally recognized.

Here is the link

Oh no! I'm not getting my cable hooked up until the 25th of February! Looks like I'll miss it again this year! I love those types of things. I was just looking at the link, the Tibetan mastiff is a really pretty dog!

We have the Reading Philly baseball stadium where I live and this summer they are going to have a game where everyone can bring their dogs and they are going to have the Skyy Dogs USA there! I'm going to take my little brother. I think he'll like it. I can't wait to see the show and all the pups!

Has there been any additional thoughts to the addition(s) to your family Melissa?

I was very happy to see the Beagle win the Hound Group. This never happens at Westminster. Or at least not for a very long time!
Actually I like all the dogs that won the hound group, Second place winner was Longhaired Dachshund, (I had a smooth coat black and tan mini after I graduated from high school) Third place the Harrier (they are very much like a big beagle) and finally the PBGV (Petits Bassets Griffons Vendeen). All were beautiful dogs!

Will I be getting another Raph? Hmm..while I'm always thinking about getting another one, I probably won't be doing this for awhile. But, never say never! Smiley

It was an awesome show. I do think that the judges had a hard decision. All the hounds were awesome but the beagle just had the right attitude for a winner  Grin
