I went to MSG as part of the media (to write some features for the paper) and I have fallen in love with the Mastiff ....its big and beautiful and sweet ...so to get prepared I'm going to have to get not a dog house but a real house for one...

    i cant believe people actually stand up and clap for dogs lol
  • I've always loved mastiffs as well... Maybe one day when we have a big house and a yard we will get one. Until then, our wheaton terrier will be the queen of the house :D

    Show dogs are pretty, but Mutts are the BEST! :D
    Walking can be a real trip

    you truely would have to be a dog lover to enjoy the show....in the day, when I was there, there's no announcer and four breeds are judged at once...so you are basically looking at the dogs from your seat, walking around with their owners...which I think is boring...but the audience can get up from their seat and go down stairs to the holding area and see all of the dogs that are there...

    I guess the most exciting way to view it is to watch it on tv.

    They are not all prissy.
    It is a showing of the best of the breed.
    I love mutts as much as the rest, but I also appreciate the beauty of these creatures.
    And why wouldn't people applaud a dog. They applaud food, airline pilots, someone throwing a ball through a hoop.
    I love the working and hunting classes.

    airline pilots ?? they fly our asses all over the world bad comparison

    sports stars are human also


    and the people who applaud food are just as bored as the dog people

    Unfortunately, the first time I saw a mastiff he threw up some huge amount of some blob outside a Foster's Freeze so that basically ruined the breed for me!!! ;)

    I did not watch the show but am partial to Australian Shepherds and Alaskan Huskies!!!!
    So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream
    Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me

    by the size of the dog I would guess everything that comes out of the mastiff would be huge

    It may not look that way to you, but they are prissy, most have their own friggin hotel rooms.

    I have no problem applauding dogs, but that show is kinda like a fashion show, models on display-or as you say it "best of the breed" and its overkill. IMHO

    Now, the dogs that do the obstacle courses, the long jumps and the retriever challenges-thats putting on a show

    I've been to many a dog show backstage and can verify this. Some of the best drunken nights I have experienced was after a dog show! I was across the street from the Westminster at the Hotel Pennsylvania as my family and friends were in town to show one of their dogs. Never seen a hotel overrun by dogs! It was quite a scene. Downstairs they had treadmills for dogs!! I had never seen anything like that before! Great dogs, all of them. As to people being applauded, if those fucknuts who play for the world series of poker and refer to themselves as "Jesus" can receive applause, well then so can FIDO!
