The lovely wife and I have spent the last two evenings watching most of the Westminster Kennel Club’s dog show on television. I wanted to watch because I’ve been following the exploits of Lacey, a Borzoi (Russian Wolfhound) shown by Greg Hlatky, who blogs at A Dog’s Life. Don’t go look at that link until Monday, February 16 or so. He’s been in New York City and the blog has rolled to a blank while he’s out at the show. Lacey won Best of Breed but did not place in the Hounds Group. I did think she could have taken fourth over the Irish Wolfhound. She appeared a bit distracted during the Group and the Group winner was a determined Ibizan Hound. Best of Show was a gorgeous Newfoundland, though the wife and I were torn about the runner up, a Corgi with a lot of attitude and stage presence.Ch Soyara’s Chantilly Lace JC
