It seems you always have an extreme experience. You keep things interesting that for sure. lol

Wasn't too many years back that another beagle, male that time that took top honors there. She sure is a good lookin little Beagle. Nice to see it given to a little workin dog...

I think last year was a terrier, and the previous year was the beagle.

That hound did give tongue while receiving ribbon

I thought there was a mistake in the sporting group... The chessie didn't even make the cut. Conspiracy?? With so many registered labs in the akc there would be riots in the street if a chessie placed ahead of the lab.

I was honestly cheering for the plomer spaniel

That dog is as familiar with 'work' as Paris Hilton ..LOL...

Really enjoyed the show. Particularly liked the springer spaniel. Not only nice to see the beagle from B.C. win, but also the handler , Will Alexander from Toronto. He has been handling dogs for 20 + years and I think this is his first Westminster win.

It was 2008 when Uno won

Miss P is 3rd generation from littermate with Uno

Nice looking beagle. As a former beagle owner I will always have a soft spot for those little hounds. What she needs is a bit of scratches from underbrush and a swamplike aroma though.

HUH??? Of course there was a Chessie! They ARE part of the Sporting group

Stupid beauty contests have ruined too many breeds.
