From the breed shows at the Piers---

Two more.

I'm not really one to criticize, but that BM doesn't do it for me at that level...

 

[NYDDB]

I was unimpressed with the few DDBs I saw--- they seemed shorter and squatter than I was expecting.

 

[NYDDB]

The Corsos were nice-- and bigger than I had imagined (only met one, in real life--she was a small CC.)

Of course, we don't need to go into the Fat Lab phenomenon...these guys being shown were chunky!

I see you got a shot of a trio of fake Apollos (Leonbergers)! The Huskys on the table made me laugh.

Haha- yes. I actually tried to find some TMs, but didn't see any. I got there late, so many were packing up to leave. But, were TMs represented this year?

BTW- not Huskies. Malamutes, although the one standing is pretty small (daughter of the male lying down.)

Yah, I typed that and then thought that I was wrong about them being huskys.

There were four TMs there this year and they were in ring 10 at 1:30 today.

Hmmm. I was too late, then. Gotta get there earlier next year...

I work with labs all day long. We call that build kegs on legs.

Sweet! Did you by chance see the Komondor? My fantasy dog. It is just to hot to own one in Texas.

Just personal opinion & slightly bias I was extremely impressed with the Corso & the EM. Sasha was gorgeous too & I got super excited when he pulled her out. I've never seen a mastiff place in the top 4 within group so I was excited when I saw the EM got 2nd.

My mom's exact words, "is that a walking mop?!?" Lol

 

[ruthcatrin]

If you mean Sasha the TM, he's a boy , Dispiste the floofy haircut

 

[raechiemay]

Ugh yes! Lol fluffy haircut = brain automatically thinks girl. HE was gorgeous!

I didn't this year. But there is a woman who owns one that I run into in the park every now and then. Cool dog...

I was actually surprised by the amount of dogs in the show that were from Texas! Even the BIS judge was!

Okay gotta brag a little, BJ's litter mate, Binny, took Select today Pretty happy for my breeder, he has had 2 litters, in those he has had; 2 x top 5 invites to Westminster, 1 BIS (only male CC to achieve that so far) 2 GCH, 4 CH, 1 CAN/AM CH, multiple TDI, CGC/CGN, a RN, an IPO BH, and Select at Westminster... not too shabby IMO. Okay I had a big grin all day, I am a dog geek.

Impressive!

Most of the DDB's were small. I met a judge at the vet and she told me that Titan had a beautiful head but she would disqualify him for being short. Hmmmm...

Cane Corsos were stunning especially the winner!
