We’ve been working our way through the breed groups this week, in preparation for the 2011 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Today’s topic: the Working Group.
This group is dominated by Boxers, who claim four of the top ten spots in the current group rankings, but I’m going to go out on a limb and choose a dog of another breed as the group winner.

I’ve spent a lot of time this week blogging about the big 2011 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Will you be watching the show?

We’re starting to wind down our week-long preparation for Westminster. You can look back to see my picks for the Herders, the Hounds, the Non-Sporting breeds, the Sporting Group, and the Terriers. Today: the Toy Group.

Continuing on with the Terriers, after having covered the Herders, the Hounds, the Non-Sporting dogs, and the Sporting Group earlier in the week.

Yesterday, we looked at the herding group (and gave the general caveats for this very unscientific list). Today, the hounds!

This is the first of several posts I will do this week as we prepare for the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show on February 14 and 15. I’m going out on a limb to tell you my picks for best of group in each of the breed groups. (Gulp!) I can’t say I know enough about dog shows for these to be anything other than wild guesses, based loosely on information readily available on the web.
