So bummed out this morning! I've been rooting for Nathan the Bloodhound for several years and last night Nathan's son, Trumpet, won Best in Show. Argh! I give some of the credit to Nathan for breaking the barrier - he drew more and more attention over the several years he participated.

Also - I really appreciate the fact that more and more of the show dogs are showing their true doggy personalities, like the dogs who jump into the arms of their handler after a round is over. In past, when punishment was used to shape behavior I couldn't watch because the handlers looked mean and the dogs looked miserable.
