I was wondering if anyone out there gets as excited about the Westminster Dog Show as I do. I love dogs, have all my life, and watching Westminster is paradise to me! I like it because of the commentators, especially Joe Garagiola. He asks commonfolk questions, and the expert, who I can't remember his name, has been working with Joe for the past few years. It comes on the USA network on Monday and Tuesday, February 12 and 13. I always root for the boxers, even before I got Cassie, but I enjoy seeing all the different dogs. I worked my schedule around the dog shows this year so I won't miss a bit! Hopefully one day, I'll be able to attend it in person. Until then, I'll watch it on TV. Next month Fort Worth hosts a four day weekend of dog shows, and that's where I talk to boxer breeders, along with other dog breeders to get information about their breeds.
Excited About Westminster Dog Show!

I like to watch it too, and it is interesting to see all the breeds of dogs. I ALWAYS root for the Boxers, is there any breed better? I think not! But as long as the Poodle doesn't win I am usually okay, otherwise.....
Thank you so much for those dates, I always forget until it is too late. I love watching the Boxers and all the large breeds of dogs. A change of subject, I just saw the previews of Emergency Vets for tonight and there is going to be a Boxer on it, I don't know if I can stand to watch, he looked in bad shape. Thanks again.

I love watching the show too! I just love seeing all the beautiful dogs and the trouble people go through to get them there! I only live 40 minutes from NYC but since it's during the week, I can never go. I can't really take off from work to go to the dog show, they'd really think I was nuts!!!! I agree on the whole poodle thing too. It seems like a working breed never wins! Sigh!I was rooting for the Dobie last year in te finals, but they picked the Spaniel. I guess it's hard to hide any slight imperfection if you have such short fur huh!

Why must you tell them you're taking off for a dog show. It is none of their business why you take off. Call in sick, or take a personal day and treat yourself.
I'm so excited. I got my ticket to the real deal at the Garden, so who knows, you may see me on television. I'll be the one cooing and drooling over the boxers!!

Have fun a drool for me too!
