When I got home, Left-brain was watching the Westminister Kennel Club show. The toy group was on when we started. Left-brain started laughing when the Maltese came on--he had one, and, well, Beau was not a showdog. Nor did he have aspirations to such, he ran the show for the big boys, one can not be pretty and tough. Beau died not long after I came on the scene, and Left-brain doesn't plan to have another one, too much work, though I think I could handle a puppy cut on any dog.
The non-sporting group came on next. That is my group, devoted Schipperke fancier that I am. Of course, yet again, the Schipperke didn't win. The Schipperke never wins, they're just not "glamourous" enough, because there really isn't much you do to make them pretty, just embiggen their hair:

It's no wonder Robbie hates to be brushed. Of course, we all have pictures from our misspent youth, LOL.
Beazer seemed quite interested in the proceedings. He insists he could be a showdog. He has the beautiful gait, the sweet face (for a pit), and the nice confirmation. Too bad his breed can't show, and he's a little old for this. He seemed quite deflated, and was casting aspersions on the bulldog.
So no stitching went on. Hopefully, I can work on things today and get some progress. I don't know what Left-brain has planned for the holiday, if anything. We may just do something on the weekend, who knows. Last year, we had our taxes done--so romantic, right?
Happy Valentines Day! I hope a little love finds its way into your day. Or, if not, a little chocolate?

My dog can't show either because Jack Russell breeders refuse to conform their dogs. Since Jacks are working dogs, you can't really set a standard for them which the Kennel Club demands. I feel that breeders and the kennel club are changing dogs too much, and not for the better. :(
Happy Valentines Day

I'm watch the dog show as well...my love is in the same non-sporting category as your's. My baby's a Shiba Inu...they never win either...Lulu is a closet showdog as well. LOL She has the perfect showdog stance when she wants a treat.
I missed the show :o( The Doxie never seems to win either.
