Videos of KK and I in the ring

she looked wonderful. But you were robbed!!

 

Awesome! I know how proud you must be! I have never shown dogs, but i show horses and I am always very proud when we do well!!

 

Load of horse-hockey!

K did SO much better and her topline was SMOOTH!

 

I think she should have won in that second video.

 

The grump handled by the lady in pink -- UGH. I am not a conformation expert, but knowing dogs and some structure, what is not good and what is better... I have to say that dog that won had a terrible croup, going right into a bad tail set. The dog did have a little more muscle it seems, but was also a little chubby. Maybe a more mature dog? Katie I noticed is east west in front, and especially on her left side. The other dog that won over her was also slightly east-west but I really think over all KK has a better front. Not sure about shoulders though -- black dogs with a lot of flesh over the shoulders on a tape with not so great resolution. Hard to really see the shoulder action. KK definately has a better tail set and better more classic head. She also has better bone, but might lack a little muscle.

That dog that won stacked quite differently than KK. KK is more forward, leaning into her front, the other dog had her hind feet too far under I think. Bad training or was that conformation forcing that stack? I have no clue.

 

Well crap. I was so wanting you to take that win.

 

I do not know much about dog showing but i love watching them and seeing all the breeds. This might be a stupid question but i know you keep treats on you in the ring for the dog. Is it true that most people keep them in their mouth? That is just what i have heard and always wondered. And KK is beautiful to by the way.
