A Regal Beagle Seizes the Spotlight
At Westminster Dog Show, Miss P, a Beagle, Wins Best in Show
It took 20 minutes for David Merriam, the Best in Show judge at theWestminster Kennel Club Show on Tuesday, to give the dog-loving audience at Madison Square Garden a bit of a shock. After a devilishly long route to making up his mind — he seemed to enjoy building the suspense, smiling a bit impishly as he deliberated — he made the surprising choice of Miss P, a 15-inch beagle and the grandniece of Uno, the first beagle to ever win the big show, in 2008.
Merriam, a retired, white-haired California trial judge, ignored the crowd’s favorite, Swagger, an Old English sheepdog, and two other dogs who were believed to be likelier winners than the nearly 4-year-old Miss P: a Skye terrier named Charlie and a Portuguese water dog with the artistic sobriquet of Matisse.

Absurd.
My Wheaton and I have been boycotting even watching as it discriminates against Wheatons
Enjoy your "trophy" knowing that the best dog, the Wheaton, is made to suffer from the stupid Wheaton haircut that instantly disqualifies them

They are very lovable and spirited. I've been wavering of the last couple years if I should get a dog or not, we have two cats now, but with the way we travel it would be terribly hard and unfair to the dog.

They are also piss poor guard dogs. They love everyone, including the guy boosting your flat screen out the window.

No, they are not very good guard dogs but I have an alarm system, a shot gun, and I live across the street from the police state. lol
