It was 2011’s Number One Dog All Breeds, the Cocker, Beckham, picking up his 13th BIS of 2012. Will it be good enough to hold on to his Number Three All Breed ranking? We will be the first to tell you.

Sunday’s day DCKC show featured Dana Cline in the final ring with the previously mentioned Foxhound, Dane, & AmStaff, the English Springer Spaniel, GCH CH Cerise Tender Is The Night, the Chinese Crested, GCH CH Gingerly's Sweet Tea, the Dalmatian, GCH CH Spotlight’s Ruffian, and the Beauceron, GCH CH Beowolf Rime des Monts du Lac.
Best went to the stunning black Great Dane, Scout. For all of you that want a credible argument for ear cropping, the above picture is worth a thousand words. It is the first all breed BIS for Scout, who is not yet two years old. Congratulations to breeders/owners Patricia Tootie Longo, David Miller, & Lorraine Matherly, and handler Laura Lynn Coomes.
I don't understand the ear cropping statement, this dog would also be beautiful with natural ears.
ReplyDeleteYes she would, but she is magnificent with those cropped ears.
DeleteTo my eye, she would be more beautiful with natural ears. I'm with Anonymous #1 on this one. The picture provides no argument in favor of the invasive procedure. I know some humans would look better if they had their ears cropped!
ReplyDeleteShe is from a long line of spectacular danes bred by joe and Tootie Longo. No one could be more deserving.
ReplyDeleteSaturday was a Xolo from Mexico (class dog) name Tecoman (Avalos) also placed 4th in group Thursday and 2nd on Friday....

DeleteAs someone new to dog showing, I've nothing to compare cropped ears to since natural ears aren't being shown. If superior dogs with uncropped ears were to begin showing and winning, it would be more of a choice for owners/handlers than "the thing to do." I think the cropped ears are stunning, but they certainly aren't necessary and I fear the decision will taken away from us by outside forces in my lifetime. Amazingly, dog showing will continue with uncropped ears. MS
