Do they show the GSPs on the Westminster site? Because on TV they don't show the whole thing, right?
I think Tessa's grandsire is going to Westminster (Fieldfines Back in Action "Ace") so, go Ace! |

| Yes, your right, Ace should be there. I think he is a beautiful dog!! I saw him at the Nationals last year. They do show the breed competition on the Westminster site, They only show the group judging on TV. ,, Laura,Ruby,Sadie |

I love the Westminster and do have Monday and Tuesday off so I can enjoy seeing the greatest Show Dogs in the World. Even though we all know the Greatest Best In Show dog in the world to you is the Dog laying , cuddled on the couch next to you. Yes I do greatly cheris the DVD I bought of the 129th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show the year Carly won Best in Show. Actually use it as a reference when I need to review a breed of dog I met at the dog park, or just question about.  |

I also have some friends attending with their dogs so will be watching the Westminster site for results and videos. We don't get much TV coverage of the show here in Canada but I'm going to check if we get the USA Network on our dish.

lauralee: I did not buy her as a show dog. Was just looking for a good dog and contacted Jubilee because I like their dogs/parentage and policies, hoping for an older GSP in need of rehoming and was offered Tessa who was 12 weeks old. Denise thought she was a good match for my lifestyle and yes, she is! Oh how I love that dog!
I wouldn't mind showing her; she is said to be finishable, I know she would love it, and I would love to honor Denise's breeding program by finishing her. I have taken her to some dog shows, but she is too energetic for the show ring at this time unless they change the rules and let dogs parade on two legs, then she would do really well. Also, my plan is to spay her after her first heat, so that would ban her from the show ring. Will decide on it in the summer but I am more leaning to field trials and rally and such.
Some of her sisters are showing, though. They are out of Chance (x Abby) who is Ace's son. |

| If you have not done already where ever you live, try to get the Westminster Kennel Club web site onto "my favorites" Once on the home page of the Westminster Kennel Club, click on "Select a video", then click on "Breed Judging" Scale down to Pointer(German Shorthaired). Click on that then you should be able to relive all the GSPs from last years 2008 and see all the GSPs who competed. It wiil be a good test to see if your video player is working correctly for tomorrow and the next day!! Hope Canada and UK can get this web site and videos to play. Good Luck!!! |

The winner of the Terrier Group is a Scottish Terrier.
And, don't discount those Standard Poodles....they have the "fancy hair ball sculptures" for good reason, and can be excellent sporting dogs. The hair left on the leg and around the chest is protection against cold water (yep, they also do water retrieves).
GSPs don't show til 2 pm today (EST) so, we'll have to contain our excitement for just a bit longer! www.westminsterkennelclub.org for all up to date results and streaming video of breed judging.
Good luck to all qualifiers and participants (tho I like many have my favorite, who really LOOKS like a GSP).
