The nation’s Number Two Dog All Breeds, the Portuguese Water Dog, GCH CH Claircreek’s Impression de Matisse, extended his stay in Topeka KS, taking Thursday’s Topeka Kennel Club Best In Show.

Also asking for judge Janet Sinclair’s favor were the German Shorthaired Pointer, GCH CH Ehrenvogel Key To My Heart CA, the Rhodesian Ridgeback, GCH CH Raquel Welch Of Malabo APD, the Bedlington Terrier, CH First Class Willow Wind The Phoenix, the Maltese, CH Rhapsody’s Someone Like You, the Reserve winner, the Dalmatian, CH Centurion Anticipation Charming Danfield, and the Shetland Sheepdog, GCH CH Grandgables Jolie Victor Ludorum  CC.

Matisse’s 54^th BIS of the season will put him about 625 points closer to the Number One Dog, the Wire Fox Terrier, GCH CH AfterAll Painting the Sky.   Although Matisse has tem more BIS than Sky, he trails her by almost 8,000 points in the traditional all breed rankings.  Still we are not ready to call this one just yet.  Stay tuned, only on Dog Show Poop will you know where our Top Dogs stand day to day.
