Honestly, I am not quite sure what people want out of the Peke? He wagged his tail on the table, he made eye contact with the judge, he bounced on the go-around and when the judge came down the line the final time, he looked right into her face and said "This one is MINE". The other dogs showed well, but aren't perfect, either... What I am having a terrible time with here, both from my GSD peeps and my Dal peeps is the fact that everyone whines and complains when people make cracks about a crippled GSDs and a hyper Dalmatians, yet it is okay to publicly bash another breed of PUREBRED dog.. What are we in, kindergarten? To reiterate something I said on my FB page.. I have a couple of Peke breeders as my friends. They breed WONDERFUL BIS dogs and I know their feelings were very hurt by the comments about their breed... Remember what YOU said about the Peke the next time someone criticizes your beloved GSDs for being crippled, aggressive, biters or being unhealthy.. What goes around, comes around.. Let's stop talking about what we did not appreciate about the Westminster Best In Show winner and move on to the fact that he was out and about doing wonderful PR for purebred dogs and this very humble handler, David was a true gentleman and by all counts, got rave reviews from every place they visited yesterday in NYC. PUREBRED DOGS ROCK (and yes, so do the mixed-breeds!)..
