I watched the Westminster dog show Monday and last night. I did pick two of the group winners. Strangest thing though, the winner of the toy group was disqualified because the handler either knew or was a relative of the best in show judge

I only saw the very end when they booted out that poor Schipperke (non-sporting group), from what I read the judge had been co-owners of other dogs as partner with the Schipperke owner. A little late in the show to realize a conflict of interest, but the handler was happy to even get that far with the dog. If that dog had stayed in the show and picked to win, there would be a big stink about it for sure.

I would have liked to see the Bouvier win, but happy that the Havanese came in second, beautiful dog. The wire haired Fox Terrier was a nice dog, but seems he's won so often, I like to see other dogs get the chance.

I did not watch it. But like alpha said I like to see other dogs win too. It's not fun to see just one dog win every time.

I thought the havanese would take it and I thought the doxie would place, I also liked the bouvier but like you said the fox terriers always win. I didn't see anything so special with that one. I watched it all on both nights. The beautiful shepherd came in third in the herding class and in the non sporting dogs I really liked the english setter. the sshipperke won the toy class and the doxie won the hound group
