My (very-unscientific) picks for the fourth breed group this week. If you’ve missed it, so far we’ve covered the Herders, the Hounds, and the Non-Sporting Breeds.

Puppy Bowl VII Ratings
Animal Planet is reporting record ratings for this year’s Puppy Bowl. 1.7 million people tuned in to the premier broadcast (up from 1.1 last year), and after five subsequent re-airings, a total of 9.2 million people saw it in all.
I liked it okay – it was really cute…for awhile. But really, it’s just two hours of puppies running around playing on an indoor football field. I can’t imagine over 9 million of us had nothing better to do, but what do I know?
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

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.

Puppy Bowl VII
I have to admit this is the first time I’ve watched the Puppy Bowl. It is just too cute! (Although I really can’t believe it lasts 2 hours.) I think Cooper, my Vizsla would have watched even longer. I’ve never seen him so interested in a TV show. Continue reading Puppy Bowl VII

Sir Walter, Mascot of the Columbiana Comets
We just got home from my sons’ Special Olympics basketball game, where we met Sir Walter, the new Mini Schnauzer mascot of the Columbiana County Comets.
Fortunately for us, he was no match for the mighty Royal Knights!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
