(I hope all those pics showed up for people - they seemed to come and go randomly for me) ​

 

[Paws]

Yeah, not all images show up.

 

[palbert]

Thanks for the effort but with that thing not all pictures needed to show up. Sorry, genetic prejudice.

Nice to see a Norwich Terrier in the finalists: you'll all remember of course, that it was a Norwich Terrier which won in Christopher Guest's mockumentary "Best in Show".

As a side story...

Dog disqualified for pooping during agility competition
Source link: msn.com with the funny video

Ah, a dog's life. No responsibility, no stress and the world is your bathroom. Exhibit A: a little gal named Libby, while in the middle of a scorching run during the Crufts obstacle course competition, just couldn't hold on until the end. Although the spontaneous squat meant instant disqualification, Libby appeared to be in good spirits, as one often is immediately after emerging from a bathroom emergency. The collective "ooooooohhh" reaction from the crowd suggests that this isn't a common occurrence at Crufts, but as the understanding announcer rightly points out, "A dog's gotta do what a dog's gotta do."​

The multi-angle instant replay in the video cracked me up.
