Yea, I know,,, lame. But some nice looking dogs on there even though they'd probably run for the hills at the first gun shot.
Anyway, does anyone know why the judge grabs a handful of nuts on all the dogs?

To make sure they have both of them.
I've judged (hunt test) and worked with one AWS that was at Westminster and I would be proud to hunt over it.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.

The water spaniel looked like a nice dog to me. The lab (not in the finals) looked like it had been crossed with a daschund - little legs and sausage body.

Somewhere around here I have a "Best of Breed" medal from the Westminster show many years ago. One of my late dad's Griffons won it back in the 1950s.

I was thinking the exact same thing!!! I thought that dog would have sunk to the bottom if it tried to swim after a duck!

Please don't assume just because they are "show dogs" they can't hunt.
However most of them never have the chance.

I'm a GSP guy & there were definitely some real lookers in that show.
AKC says "A dog in hard and lean field condition is not to be penalized" but I wonder how one with a big scar on the nose or a piece of ear missing would really fare in the show ring...

I liked the Griff this year. They mentioned that he had placed high at NAVHDA.

Did anyone see that horse of a Redbone in the breed videos? Dark red & not a patch of white on him. I don't think he won anything though.

No small task, in any breed!
