February 13, 2008Uno lives up to his name
He is like the Eli Manning of pooches. From what I could see on the live televised event, the little scenthound roo-led the ring like a rock star as he howled his way into the hearts of the Madison Square Garden crowd, getting the longest and loudest crowd reaction. [Note to self: try to get travel to the Westminster show for live, on-the-scene coverage of the event added to next year's blogger travel budget. Ha. Sometimes the jokes here are just for me.] Uno topped Deuce, an Australian shepherd, a gorgeous Weimaraner, two Continental-cut poodles, a silky Sealyham terrier and a beautiful Akita to take the title. I was glad to see so many popular pets in the Best in Show ring. Drive through any neighborhood and you will see Aussie shepherds, Weimaraners and, of course, beagles, running around backyards. This year, the everyday dog had his day. One other Westminster story of note: Patty Hearst, the infamous heiress who dominated headlines in the 1970s when she was kidnapped, showed her French bulldog and won a ribbon at the show.
