I love me some beagle. A beagle has never won the Westminster dog show in spite of the breed's universal popularity. Finally, though, this little Uno guy shattered a major barrier, yesterday, as the first beagle to win the hound group in more than 70 years.
From the AP story:
Who doesn't linger even just a little when Animal Planet broadcasts the dog shows, especially if you've ever seen the movie "Best in Show." Since I adopted Snoop Nige from the pound nearly 5 years ago, I've always watched just enough to see how well the beagles show."Uno barked at his handler, bayed at the crowd, tried to grab his leash and took a flying leap at a piece of filet mignon. Oh, and he gnawed away at a newly printed sign.
Now that’s one great beagle."
Yeah I'll admit that I DVRd the American Kennel Club national championship over the weekend once the same Uno took the hound group. I fast forwarded to the final round only to see some mini-terrier rat dog take the big prize.
Why is it that the ridiculously coiffed dogs always win? Come on!
Nigel, of course, couldn't care less... that is unless Uno were to share his filet mignon treats with him.
