[Ag-eq] Westminster Dog Show

[Tracy Carcione]

A couple years back, my brother bought one of those "designer" dogs, aka a
mixed breed.  It is billed as a miniature golden, and is a golden mixed with
some kind of spaniel to keep it small-medium-sized.  Sounds like a nice idea
to me.  And I bet she's adorable as all-get-out.  Just mentioning it.
Full of curiosity as to what Matt fancies.

Matt was real interested in the agility compotition and I think that every
other dog that went up, he'd say that was the dog he wanted.
Just listening to him had me doubled over laughing.  He was like a kid in a
candy shop!  He has widdled his dog list from 28 to 6.  I'll let you know
what his two final dogs to choose from will be.  He is looking for something
between a spaniel or a terrier, but the terriers don't do well with smaller
animals.  So, we'll see what comes out in the wash.
