We had a beagle when I was growing up. Definitely one of the top two dogs we ever owned. (The other was a mutt but with clear basset-hound characteristics.)
A Clumber Spaniel won Best in Show a few years ago.
Now that my dog (the Beagle) won this thing, any chance I’ll be able to see reruns? Or maybe on a website?
A Clumber? Really? I have an aunt who has two Clumbers; one had to be retired from show, but the other hasn’t. They’re awesome dogs, but there’s not many of them and a lot of people haven’t heard of them.
I’ve met a few beagles and they, too, are great. Most dogs are, really, at least the ones that are actual dogs, not just oversized yappy things.
No you weren’t. Fellow perv here . . .
I suppose if the Springer couldn’t pull a two-fer, I can be happy for that cute little beagle.
Yep, really.. It was longer ago than I remembered (the article is from 1996).
No kidding. The Basset Hound’s never won. How can those judges be immune to those heartbreaking sad eyes and droopy faces? They’re inhuman I tells ya!
Seriously, I’m upset that the Basset’s never won. They’re much better than those useless puntable dogs. Beagle is a step in the right direction.
Woohoo! The 15 inch beagle judging.
Huh. Cool. I didn’t know about that!
They have footage up on the site of lots of different breed judging, but they’re not narrated. Still, you get to see the dogs, which is cool. Somebody desperately needs to tell an awful lot of the female handlers that dressing conservatively doesn’t have to mean ugly and frumpy!
