Ah-rooo!

Hey! A Beagle won Best in Show at Westminster!

My first dog was a beagle/basset mix named Annie. I have a lot of memories of her, but one of the more vivid and terrifying was her out-of-car excursion to chase rabbits somewhere in Arizona while we were driving across country many years ago. She jumped out and took off, and she was in no mood to come back when called. She finally did, but not before scaring us to death.

It’s the second time in four years a breed I’ve owned has won Westminster.

  1. Uno’s a great dog! You’re supposed to root for your group after your breed is eliminated, so after the Dachshunds were robbed (robbed I tell you!) our little group cheered for Uno all the way.
    He’s got personality plus, and really played the crowd well, and has showed class, temperment and good training in his press appearances since.
