[Ag-eq] Westminster Dog Show

[Tracy Carcione]

Wow Susan, congratulations to your cousin!
I watched the dogshow!  My mother was into showing.  Her breed was Irish
wolfhounds, and, later, she got a nice Brussells griffon.  We went to
Westminster a couple times.  It was fun to meet different dogs, but it was
also really crowded.  Oh, and it was fun to walk around the vendors, and see
all the dog-related stuff.  Equipment, toys, treats, jewelry ... you name
it, it was probably there somewhere.

I don't know if anyone on the list watched the dog show earlier this week,
but my husband and I did and now we are doing the happy dance!
You ask
 why?  Well, I'll tell you.

My cousin, Wes, breeds and shows Golden Retreavers and has done so for quite
a  while.  His two year old male, Decoy qualified to participate in the
Westminster dog show in New York, which happened the first of this  week.
There were over 201 breeds represented and over 2,800 dogs and  representing
all 50 states and 16 countries.  The Golden Retreaver  class had 52 dogs and
Decoy won Reserve Grand Champion.  This means he  was the number 2 dog in
all the AKC showings.

Matt already has a list of breeds he is researching for another inside dog.
Matt was texting Wes the entire time they were in New York.  I told Wes that
if Matt had gone with them, they would have had to leave him in the room
because he would have driven them crazy wanting to be everywhere
seeing/petting/hugging any dog he could have gotten hold of.  .  Wes said
there were so many people there that they couldn't even get close to watch
his class, so they found someone who was sitting in the front row to film it
for them.  Decoy's handler was suppose to be a guy named David, however,
when they  arrived and while unloading the cages, there was greese on the
floor and David slipped  and face planted flat on the floor.  He spent all
of Monday in the emergency room because they thought he tore his rotater
cuff.  David's wife Jennifer, had to fly up from Georgia to show the
remaining 3 dogs.  He was showing/handleing 5 dogs in the two days.
