Best in Show at Crufts on More 4 last night was epic and proved that girls do rule the world. Elizabeth the 7 year old Lhasa Apso bitch won Best In Show. It would have been better if the Newfoundland, Brutus who won best reserve had won BIS. I loved all the dogs but the Newfie has never won at Crufts and they are such awesome dogs. All the Groups had powerful contenders, although I don't really know much about the Irish Water Dog. The Pomeranian had a wonderful ring presence and great personality that showed when he did circles and practically jumped into the judges arms. Did Dreamer know he was the smallest dog there? The Norwich Terrier, Paris was very cute and confident for such a young dog. We will definitely see Paris a lot more in the future. The Borzoi had it the toughest because it just won best Hound minutes earlier. Although showing takes alot out of the dog and handler, Luke still managed a gentle sloping gate around the ring. The Old English Sheepdog, Jimmy had to be the most talked about with a name like Bottom Shaker my Secret. This dog did not have a docked tail that he carried beautifully with a fabulous stride. All in all, the show was excellent and the judge Frank Kane did a wonderful job. I would love to know what he was thinking.

Utility Group, Elizabeth the Lhasa Apso bitch won Best In Show
Working Group, Brutus the Newfoundland dog won Reserve
Gundog Group, Merlin the Irish Water Dog
