Laura, I was not going to say anything about the woman who was there. Because she said it was her first dog show, but still you would think you would do a little research. But she did really appear ignorant, but I tried to overlook it because it was a first for her, until my granddaughter called me and said Geez Grandma why don't you get that job? That lady knows nothing.... then I had to laugh just like I had to laugh about "I wanted to smack her", too funny! I thought that when he said things like matching the dog to the lifestyle so they don't end up in shelters was great. I really enjoyed his commentary. He is a great ambassador for purebred dogs and responsible pet ownership. I enjoyed the show. I picked the Puli, but I have a soft spot for them. I also liked the Belgium Sheepdog and the Turv was a nice dog. And I liked the Collie both of them actually. It was a pretty good group. In the terriers I was happy he put up the Scottie, I thought she was great. I also liked the Irish. I get tired of the poodle always winning, there were lots of nice dogs, I personally liked the Schipp and the Sharpei was nice. I liked the Harrier in the hounds and the Pharaoh and the Ibezian(not sure about the spelling). Even if a German Shepherd didn't make the cut, it was still good TV as far as I am concerned!
