and the winner is…

the springer spaniel.

very cute, but totally anti-climactic. You can tell Lester Holt is disappointed.

WKC Best in Show

The standard poodle may have just gotten some boos from the audience as the best in show competition kicks off.

Favorite: PBGV (left) - the winner in tonight’s hound group. Beat those poodles and that dandy shrimp-looking thing (right) too!

Poodles dominate day 1 of WKC

In bunk dog show news, the poodle lobbyists are obviously paying off judges! Not one but two poodles are in the running for Best in Show in New York at this week’s Westminster Kennel Club Show.

First up - in the toy group (left) it’s the toy poodle who beat the Pug and Brussels Griffon. The only silver lining is that the poodle muscled the Pekingese out of first. That is small comfort as later in the non-sporting group competition, ANOTHER poodle took top prize, this time a standard (right).

I smell a scandal!
