Did you see last night's show? Not too impressed with the first 4 choices. I did like the Puli though, wonder why? LOL!

^ He has a special story, he almost died in 2004 or 2005. Can you believe, Stump is 10 years old!

I saw Stump last night. He walked so Regal around the judge. I like to see his tail wag in sync with his steps.

A good winner.

Although I got a softspot for the Santa Ynez Kign Charles Cavalier.. Wonder why.

However - I always go for the wirehaired dachshunds and the Leonbergers but didn't see any...

LOVE dog shows:)

Out of the last 7 dogs for Best in Show, I loved all of them except the Scottish Deerhound the Standard Poodle. My heart was very fond of Lincoln, the Griffon, but I am very pleased and happy that Stump won.

[WildflowerNJ 136]

Hey, Sharon, you are welcome. I loved seeing that, too...tears in my eyes. You could feel that MSG crowd come together for sweet Stump. :heart:
