The Westminster Dog show starts tonight. We watch it every year. We love dogs. This year, Mom and I will have a whole new appreciation for the dog show. Now we know what's going on behind the scenes! Well, not exactly but we have a pretty good idea. Yesterday we went to the Indy Winter Classic Dog Show. Over 2300 dogs were entered. 2700 dogs are entered at Westminster. So the Indy Winter Classic is kind of a big deal. Anyway, it was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. We say a TON of different dog breeds too. Most of which we had never seen in person so that was cool. We both thought that the Clumber Spaniel was a lot bigger than we thought it would be. And that giant Irish Wolf Hound was so much softer than you'd think. One of the best parts for Mom was the "Meet the Breed" area. When we walked by, there was a woman with a Welsh Terrier. Mom LOVES those. So she got to meet one in person. The woman told her about the Welsh Terrier rescue group and I think Mom is hooked :-) The closest one is in Tennessee but that's only 4/5 hours away. We could make a day of it if she decides she ought to have 2 dogs. That makes me want to add another one to our group too. Then we would have 5 total! How fun!!!
Here's the Welsh Terrier as a 'normal' dog;
Here it is all groomed and ready to show;
And here's this years Westminster poster...they've done better in the past!
