Westminster Dog Show

Hi All,
Dear readers, you might have been watching the 2010 Olympics, but here at Poodle Place the big competition on TV was the Westminster Dog Show. While a toy poodle won "Best in Class" at the Westminster Dog Show, it was a Scottie who won "Best in Show." I asked a friend how a judge could possibly determine "best in show" when evaluating several breeds. She commented on the importance of the dog's engaging personality and enthusiasm.

Upon hearing this, I have decided Baron can compete in dog shows! Let's face it dear reader, no dog could possibly be more outgoing than Baron. He will enthusiastically jump on the judges (if he likes them), thus expressing his winning personality ("winning" might be a misnomer). As long as "good behavior" is not a criterion, he'll be fine. Actually, the winning Scottie did jump on his handler. A Scottie weighs less than Baron, but it is the same expression of enthusiasm. It is not fair that a larger dog should be judged differently - it is size discrimination!
See you at the show,
Botswain
