Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against poodles. I think they're smart and funny and loyal and they don't shed. Well, I really don't care for that stupid looking show dog haircut. I found this little blurb in the paper this morning;
The 5-year-old black Standard Poodle will compete Tuesday for Best in Show at Madison Square Garden (8 ET, USA). Too bad Marv Albert isn't calling the show.
Yes' father, or sire in dog talk, was Ch. Eaton Affirmed, known as Snapper. Though Snapper died in 1990, his owner, Timothy Brazier, froze the dog's semen a quarter century ago, which was very rare for that time.
Snapper is one of the legendary producers of champions, and now his spirit and his genes live on in his daughter, officially known as Ch. Randenn Tristar Affirmation, the No. 4 dog in the country last year. She is the top winning black poodle (all varieties) of all time with 94 Best in Shows and is the mother, or dam, of four champions, and even a grand dam.
This is practically confirmation that Yes will win Best in Show. Phooey!
Oh, the Miniature Schnauzer we were rooting for? She came in 4th in her group.
