Watched Westminster last night in HD. Whoa. It was as if you could walk into the ring. They made a big fuss about the Dandie Dinmont which Bill Cosby co-owns; I didn't realize he was the only Dandie there. He shows very well. One of the terriers—I think it was the Lakeland—nipped at his handler; bad form there.

I love the smaller dogs; they just have that attitude that "man, I am the only real dog here!" The smallest dogs, like the Norfolk and Norwich terriers, have this gait with little flashing feet that I call "twinkling." The little paws are moving so fast it gives the appearance of going in and out.

They mentioned at the agility trial on Sunday night that rat terriers are now an AKC accepted breed, but I did not see any last night, either in terriers or in the toy group. Perhaps the ruling was too new to allow any rat terriers to enter?
