Best in show

[blackcob]

Come on then, place your bets!

The other reason I started this thread is to comment on that wee boy with the English toy terrier in the group judging just now - actually brought a little prickle to my eye, beautifully handled and great sportsmanship.

 

[Annette4]

He had the same effect on me!

I do like the flat coat....but saluki for me.

 

[Pinkvboots]

It was very nice to see such good sportsmanship and I love the Engllish Terrier they are one of my favourite breeds.

 

[deb_l222]

Aww wasn't that lad just lovely and very gracious as well. Nice chap.

Anyway my predictions (for what they're worth). Scottish Terrier champion and Flat coat reserve.

 

[MurphysMinder]

I love the flatcoat and the saluki. However I think it will probably be the Scottie or the Maltese. That little lad with the ETT was lovely, showed a lot of his elders how to be sporting.

 

[numptynoelle]

I'm all about the flatcoat - although I'd quite happily take the scottie and saluki home with me too :redface3:

 

[blackcob]

I think maltese. Quite like the saluki but I don't think it has 'it'.

 

[satinbaze]

Although I have FLatcoats I think the scottie looked fab in her group

 

[numptynoelle]

Adoring the scottie :smile3: and the maltese looks positively jet propelled - what a sweetie!

 

[ester]

the maltese does look ridiculous though, and it has a daft name!

 

[MurphysMinder]

The maltese is on casters!

 

[deb_l222]

I'm wondering if the Maltese has ever rolled in fox poo!!

 

[numptynoelle]

Aww, Dublin is still my favourite - that waggy tail!

Ha ha that made me nearly spit my drink all over my laptop - particularly since my white greyhound did just that yesterday!!! She was put into the lake and washed off for her efforts...

I still think the Saluki dishes on the move....

 

[ester]

why do they lift terriers by their tails!

 

[Kadastorm]

Reckon it will be the Maltese, not my type of dog though. The retriever, malamute or saluki for me! But I don't have a clue about dog showing....

 

[numptynoelle]

why do they lift terriers by their tails!

I did 'eeeep!' a bit at that! I also thought she produced the comb from her own hair, but I think I imagined that!

 

[ester]

yup she did, she had it in the group .

I like the flat and the beardie best.

 

[blackcob]

I did 'eeeep!' a bit at that! I also thought she produced the comb from her own hair, but I think I imagined that!

She did, Clare Balding mentioned it yesterday!

 

[numptynoelle]

Phew, thought I was imagining it! :tongue3:

Still loving Dublin :wub:

 

[Aru]

I love the saluki!I think he has that extra bit of jazz
flatcoats a beauty as well

 

[Kadastorm]

I really love that saluki!!! Beautiful woofer!

 

[deb_l222]

Should have had a bet on that lol.

 

[ester]

phew at least it wasn't the maltese!

 

[Clannad48]

I love the dogs but when oh when will some of the femalee handlers go and buy a decent sports bra (my OH says it's the best part of the show - oh the shame)

 

[numptynoelle]

Aww :biggrin3: I approve both of those :biggrin3:

deb_l222 - you really should have had a bet on that, will make a note to get your tips for next year!!

 

[{97702}]

Well what got it then, I'm not watching

 

[numptynoelle]

Scottie 1st, flat coat 2nd :biggrin3:

Scottie 1st, flat coat 2nd :biggrin3:

Thanks very much NN not surprising since Ronnie Irving is a terrier man

 

[blackcob]

Meh, can't get too excited about the Scottie - and I agree about the lifting by the tail, urgh.
