The Dog Show Continues...

The Westminster Kennel Club is having it's annual dog show Feb. 9th through Feb. 10th '09. Tonight the "Scotty" or Scottish Terrier won the Terrier Group-my fav group. The Havanese is my favorite breed as that is what my dog is but once you've owned a Terrier you never can never lose the love of Terriers-the little terrors!

Here is the schedule for Tuesday Feb. 10th:


NIGHT 1:
Monday, February 9
Hound, Terrier, Non-Sporting and Herding Groups
8-9 p.m. (ET) live on USA Network
9-11 p.m. (ET) live on CNBC

NIGHT 2:
Tuesday, February 10
Sporting, Working and Toy Groups, Best In Show
8-11 p.m. (ET) live on USA Network

Breed judging highlight videos are available throughout the day on Monday and Tuesday on the Westminster Web site. These highlights will be available after the show, as well.

To our West Coast viewers: Please note that the West Coast telecast is delayed for your time zone. Since results are posted to our Web site as they occur live, if you want to enjoy the drama of the moment, please avoid the Westminster Web site after 5 p.m. Pacific Time on each evening.

The final judging of "Best In Show" always has a smashing ending so try not to miss it. I have a lot of enduring memories of the dogs who win best in show-they're all gems. One of my favorites was the Bichon Frise who won in 2001. As soon as the dog realized he won best in show he started to raise both front paws and wave them up and down in an excited fashion as if to say "I won! I won!" Everybody was laughing as the dog was so excited to win and get attention.

Who'll win this year?
