Nonsporting = The Poodle Group.

I don't understand why the standard Poodle isn't in the sporting group. I understand the Toy Poodle… kind of like the Italian Greyhound is a Toy, not a hound (though they course just as keen as the larger sighthounds).. but the Standard Poodle is a Sporting dog IME. It works like a sporter, moves like a sporter… but what do I know, I'm in the hound group. :)

Also, I was REALLY pulling for Tawny in the Hound group. Love that bitch!
I agree, although the way poodles are currently shown... it would look absurd in the sporting group, and I very much doubt the dogs could actually function as hunting dogs in that clip.

I am SUPER pumped on the Cardi, though :D That actually almost made up for my poodle rage, lol.

I want to see a floofy poodle in the sporting group now. :) Pointer, Retriever, Spaniel, hairsprayed Floofle.

So excited for the Cardi, I'm so glad she got picked.

So far, she's the BIS breed, I'm rooting for.

Was she the whippet? I was in LOVE with her.
Yup! She's gorgeous. Those eyes! She was BOS last year at Westminster (though I would have put her BOB!). It was funny to watch her in the breed live stream.. her regular handler had Brazen (another nice bitch) and the entire time Tawny wanted to get to Brazen and Amanda. :) Brazen took select I believe.

Holy chunky Bloodhound.

I didn't recognize the kennel for BoB for ACDs. Did recognize a few names though! I actually like Stock Option dogs quite a bit.

Are you on the ACD breeder group? Why not? :p It was nice to see a dog from a smaller kennel win BOB :).

The gal from Stock Options is on the group, yeah she has some really nice dogs!!! She seems like a sensible, respectful person when she contributes to discussions, and her dogs do a lot. Might be some lines to look into in the far off future....

I'm not mainly for the fact that I'm on soooo many groups already. I follow the breeders I want to through friending them. Lol. Yeah, I like that her dogs dip into both venues and do very well in each. Some of her dogs are too stocky for my tastes, but I saw one just the other day with rear angulation and was in awe. Lol!

I was rooting for magnolia in hound group. Ok I'm biased. I've been watching her grow up and do so well in both show and coursing and she shows really well so I was hoping the hound judge would give her another look.

I agree with you on all counts, Katie! Loved the Brittany, the golden was nice (love the color) and the lab really bothered me.
