Westminster Dog Show


I just don't get it. I mean, I really don't get it. I'm a person who's enjoyed going to 4-H shows and I still don't get it.





Get the blow-dryer away from the dog STAT:


Welling up from the deep:


On what planet is this a dog? And what is being done to its ass?


Please don't ever let me see this dog humping someone's leg.


I do have to admire the antigravity dogs, though:

Mwahaha.

If you ever have the urge to play with a large black lab, very friendly, talk to me and I can hook you up. We even have a fenced yard.

Now, a black lab, that's a dog. Licks your face, sniffs your butt, chews on rubber toys, loves to run around and get into the trash can and sit in your lap even though he's too big and is delighted to see you come home every night? Dog. Looks like hairy buttercream? Not a dog.

"Hairy buttercream" was not an image I needed. :)

It was the comment about hairy buttercreams that really did me in. I used to watch the Westminster Dog show with my Mom. It's lots of fun to MST3K the odd alient dogs. Sort of like the same way that it's fun to MST3K the costumes in Ballroom dancing competitions.

no, those are not dogs. as for the pekingese ("dog" #2), less, his handler is nuts. i was watching another dog show on animal planet the other day and they interviewed him. he's a black dude, and he's absolutely crazy. my theory is that us honkies expect that sort of insanity in other honkies. but he's black, and therefore must have some sense. but he talks about this dog like he's in love with it --> he's crazy. i dunno. just me.

watching it with dante was fun. he came up with a unique voice for each dog that they showed. all of the voices fit. :D

[livejournal.com profile] dangertwins was right: I totally imagine that pekingese having about a hundred little legs underneath that curtain of fur.

Have you seen Best in Show (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0218839/)? I hope so. :)

I love Best in Show. I want to find someone to watch A Mighty Wind with.

yes! love it! they actually interviewed one handler last night who was a hick from new jersey. when he brought out his dog he was wearing cowboy boots and a big black cowboy hat. ha!

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Those shaved poodles -- they're just wrong!

At least the winner was a proper dog (a Newfie, no less! woof!), albeit a bit of an overgroomed one.

[identity profile] moominmolly.livejournal.com 2004-02-11 01:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! Woof (http://www.westminsterkennelclub.org/breedinformation/working/newfdld.html), indeed. :) Even though the poor thing was named "Ch Darbydale's All Rise Pouchcove", I'm happy to hear that the winner was a big lunk of a dog.

but they're nicknames were great, weren't they? i mean, in the final best in show category, we had josh, kevin, les, cookie, bunny, miki, and my personal favorite, stump.

i mean, don't you just once want to have a champion named stump? or kevin?

To quote Monty Python, "It might be spelt ThroatWarblerMangrove," but it is pronounced, "LuxuryYacht!"

Best in Show was amazing, too. :-)

The sprout and I tuned into the WKC show by accident, and were amazed, especially by that poodle.

She wants a big ol' dog. A golden retriever. Or "golden recliner" as our friends call them.

Did you ever see "Best in Show", the pseudo-documentary about dog shows? One of the dogs was a real show dog, and its owner *always tried to win* the "dog show" in the movie, even though she and the dog were just playing the part according to the script. She didn't understand that "acting" included "not winning" occasionally.

The antigrav dog would make a good LJ icon.

It is a little bit Flock of Seagulls (http://www.newwavephotos.com/AFlockof/11418AFlockof.jpg), isn't it?

Purebred dogs are teh 3vil. Actually, all dogs are the evil. Feh. Dogs. B wants a dog; I'd rather die. (The fact that every huntin' home needs a huntin' dog has not escaped my notice, and I'm trying to figure out a solution to that that doesn't involve actual, well, dogs.)

I couldn't stand Best In Show -- I had to turn it off after about half an hour because it was just too painful to watch.
