Wire Hair Fox Terrier Wins National Dog Show

Yesterday a Wire Fox Terrier aptly named Steele Your Heart won Best in Show at the 2011 National Dog Show.  Steele Your Heart, also known as Eira (pronounced Ira) beat out 1,500 other dogs to win the competition.

Eira triumphed over six other dog group winners: an Affenpinscher named Joey who won the Toy Group;  a Whippet named Chanel who won the Hound Group;  a Bernese Mountain Dog named Tanner who won the Working Group;  a Dalmatian named Ian who won the Non-Sporting Group;  an Australian Shepherd named Reckon who won the Herding Group;  and an English Springer Spaniel named Zelda who won the Sporting Group.

Eira is four years old and from California. This is her 17th Best in Show title.  She'll try to continue her winning streak at the Westminster Kennel Club show in February in New York.  A win there would make her the third dog to win both competitions in the same year.  In 2009, Eira's handler, Gabriel Rangel, won both shows with a Scottish Terrier named Sadie.

The National Dog Show is hosted each year by the Kennel Club of Philadelphia.

Thanksgiving is Going to the Dogs

Thanksgiving may be turkey themed at your house, but here it is definitely dogs, dogs and more dogs.  Yes, we'll be roasting and feasting on the traditional bird and all the trimmings.  Yes, the dogs will take up their best positions in the kitchen for catching any little bits that might come their way.

However, the big thing is... the National Dog Show!  Hosted by the Kennel Club of Philadelphia, the National Dog Show is one of the oldest benched dog shows in the United States;  it's been held since 1933.  Dogs are judged in groups (ie: Toy, Herding, Non-Sporting, Terrier, Sporting, Hound, and Working) and a top dog will be named as Best in Show.  Last year an Irish Setter, three year old Clooney of Washington State, won Best in Show; in 2009 a Scottish Terrier, Sadie, took home top honors.

The National Dog Show features over 3,000 dogs in 185 dog breeds.  The 50 top contenders will be spotlighted on NBC-TV  (MSNBC Sports - the National Dog Show) on Thursday, November 24 at noon in all time zones, following the Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Last year we were thrilled to see the six new dog breeds that entered the ring:  Boykin Spaniel, Leonberger, Cane Corso, Icelandic Sheepdog, Bluetick Coonhound and Redbone Coonhound.  

This year six additional dog breeds will join the competition:  Norwegian Lundehund (called the "puffin dog" in Norway), Xoloitzcuintli (called the "show-low"),  American English Coonhound,  Cesky Terrier,  Entlebucher Mountain Dog and  Finnish Lapphund.  Plus we always love John O'Hurley's running commentary during the show.

Just can't tear yourself away from that dining room table?  Get that dvr set and ready, dog people!
