Tonight they have the working, terrier, toy and non-sporting groups. Tomorrow they'll have the sporting, hound and herding groups as well as best-in-show.

I love watching this show every year. I always pull for the Mastiffs and other large dogs. Unfortunately, the terriers always win (although I loved the Bull Terrior that won last year). Which dogs will you be looking for?

That may be so, I really don't know much when it comes to showing dogs. All I know is that it's fun to see all the different breeds.

Thanks for the heads up. I like seeing all the breeds and maybe learning something about them.

It may even be in HD!

-edit-
It IS. *squeel*

yeah, those guys are crazy looking.

The neat thing about this show is you see the BEST representation of the breed out there. Not to mention seeing breeds you never knew existed.

And apparently a Jack Russel Terrier isn't a recognized breed. I think the story goes some guy specifically breed a dog for getting badgers/weasels. Or something like that.

Black russian terrier FTW! Too much drool though.

So do you get a nice clear shot of the judge inspecting the genitalia? ;)

Hey man, gotta check the goods.

Seriously though. It is a very interesting show to watch.

DAMN!! That Great Dane is almost taller than the judge! Get'em Marmaduke. If you've ever played with a great dane they're great dogs - it's when they give you their paw you realize "Hey! That's almost big as mine!!!!". And palm a B-ball easily.

Look at that Mastif!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn, I live on the west coast and can't watch yet. What kind of Mastiff are you referring to? I own an English mastiff, but the Neapolitans are always awesome as well.

Oh, and the title certainly deserves an exclamation point! Dogs are awesome.

Apparently Bill Cosbys dog, which had no competition in the best of breed category, apparently the other 4 show dogs of its breed that were eligible decided not to enter, is the front runner for Best of Show.

I believe Mastiff's and English Mastiffs are the same actually.

According to this site, they are the same.

My dog appears to be a little taller than that one but about the same weight. Awesome dog though.

It's the last night. Good looking dogs. They look so happy! "gimme my yum-yum!"

Dude, you're starting to freak me out...

No worries. I switch to it when the UK/UT game breaks.

But I am HD DVRing it. ;)
