I hate made up, dressed, painted, and dogs that have had their hair done. Unnatural. Urgh!!!

Dogs are not meant for that. But then again, neither are humans!!

Bring my dog in there and she'll tear some of them poodles a new @$$ hole

(figure of speech)

My ma likes them. Kinda odd, yeah. But for anyone who knows anything about purebred dogs they are interesting I guess.

We used to have a couple of purebred wolfhounds. Now those were dogs!

That reminds me of the story of these 2 dudes on camels in Arabia but the story is R rated and can't post here.

Let's face it, no one would be upset if a real dog won the contest. Just like no one would be upset if the BEST team won the Olympic pairs figure skating.

That little poodle would look very cute, stuffed and sitting on my daughter's bureau.

HA! you want reek some havoc? Get some um..female dog ready for some lovin scent and "spill" some in various parts of the arenas.
Lets see who wins THAT contest, mother nature or training.

Won't work on the girl dogs though..
I used to work with a guy that showed bull terriers, and after a couple thousand dog show stories at the breakroom table, I told him one night, "he may be a champion many times over, with a pedigree a mile long, but I bet he still licks his butt when you're not looking"

He didn't say a word after that..but the whole breakroom sure was laughing..

If you haven't seen the movie "Best of Show" go rent it.

As a movie, it mostly sux, but as a commnetary on dog shows it's priceless. That and the guy with two left feet.

**Knothead** · February 13th, 2002, 03:16 PM

WHEEE-HAHAHAHAHA!!! Funny thread!!

Can't help but notice how many people here went RIGHT to..."a REAL dog who'd tear the place apart, havoc," etc.

It's like the dignified fat lady who falls on the banana...take overblown dignity and kick it in the a$$...

Not to point any fingers, 'cause when I saw the title of this thread, that's right where I went, too!!

**thekingofpain** · February 13th, 2002, 05:06 PM

They key is watching the part of the show with the dogs involved you like, you can see some real fine animals looking closer...

Just get rid of the bug-eyed rat dogs...and the poodles....and any other small, fluffy, yappy dogs...

Give me a working dog...

**DaveLewis** · February 13th, 2002, 05:15 PM

But why is it always the little swishy fruity looking dogs that win?

**prttybean** · February 13th, 2002, 05:20 PM

Hey I have a peke! He's a bug eyed rat sized fluffy ball of fur and I like him that way. He is the sweetest little thing on four legs.

As far as dog shows go. My mother calls me and after asking if I have Animal Planet (I don't) launches into a play by play of the dog show

Better than when she's doing a play by play of something off the Gameshow Network though!

shahani · February 13th, 2002, 05:20 PM

little swishy fruity looking dogs

Yeah. The ones with purple hair and pedicured feet. Never saw a normal Golden Retriever or a Cocker Spaniel win.

Its always the sissy looking ones that win.
