Sillymooo Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 i was quite disappointed by the chosen winner. very predictable i thought. liked the 'take it all in my stride' approach of the blood hound. what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranirottie Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 I liked the bloodhound but wouldn't have picked it as the winner. The little Basset that came second was my pick and the Basenji 2nd and the Pharoah Hound third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kay_w1 Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 I was supporting the Bloodhound too, and got very emotional at the huge cheer from the crowd, i liked the winner, he was very "showy" but not really my kind of dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherlock Bones Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 I loved the TT - but wondered if because he was so made up all ready it was a decided winner already.. lovely dog though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyM Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 I only watched tonight and what Baz and I both said is how sad it is to see how many dogs aren't allowed to be just that, dogs. How predictable that Fantastic Willy won, they didn't stop brushing him throughout the whole thing, even brushed him before and after his lap of honour (dislaimer - I get that he's a hairy dog). I liked the Akita best out of tonights, with the Bloodhound a close second, and the IG third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 I wanted the bloodhound or the flatcoat to win. I didn't like the way the malamute's owner was yanking his head up all the time I thought it was very predictable too (yawn) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerMacYoYo Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Ch/Am Ch Araki Fabulous Willy is the full moniker. Wire Fox Terrier got Reserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSDFan Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Until the dogs came in for BIS I hoped the Bloodhound would win but I thought the best dog was the Flat Coat. Once they came in and strutted their stuff I think Fabulous Willy was clearly the best dog in the ring at the time. My reserve would have been the Maltese not the Fox Terrier. Sadly I thought the Flat Coat and Malamute showed badly, the Beardie and Bloodhound were both nice but just lacking a bit of sparkle. One thing I am sure of is that Zena Thorn Andrews picked what in her opinion were the two best dogs. She is not the type of Judge to be swayed by popular opinion and would happily put up an 'outsider' if it was the best on the day. She was the one in the ring and the only one in a position to Judge.

Katie Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 I agree 100% with Jackie - the TT was head and shoulders above the others on the night, there really was only one winner. The Bloodhound was my personal fav but was certainly not the best dog there on the night. The Flatcoat was OK but I have seen better (Jackie - do you remember Shargleam Blackcap?), the Malamute I was not impressed with - he looked 'stuffy'. The Bloodhound, despite looking a bit shell shocked when she first came in the ring, took it all in her stride once she got going and did herself proud. The Beardie looked 'flat' on the night and the WFT moved well enough but lacked that extra sparkle of the winner. Like Jackie I thought the maltese would get reserve. Zena Thorn Andrews is an excellent judge and as Jackie said would not be at all worried about putting up a 'surprise' dog if she felt it was merited. Predictable - possibly as the TT is such a big winner but imo he thoroughly deserved it and the best dog won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiccaweys Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Just got back in from BIS. Fantastic night - Mary Ray was outstanding as usual. The Friends for Life presentation was lovely and very emotional. The BIS judging. The TT was very showy and a dead cert for BIS. My personal choice was the Blood Hound and the Maltese - both showed their hearts out, and looked amazing. The Beardie was a bit flat. The Flat Coat moved well, but was getting fed up and didn't show well otherwise, also got spooked at something and started woofing. The Malamute was a magnificent dog, but on the final move up and down, his movement on his right leg was off. The Fox Terrier, well - shouldn't have got reserve. Wasn't happy, moved awful - would have been nice if it had gone round with all 4 paws on the ground and not the front ones off the floor at some points. We knew the TT was going to walk it - that was obvious, and just hoped that the Blood Hound or the Maltese would get reserve...sadly though, we guessed the fox terrier would get it. Hey Oh.

Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 why is it predictable that the Tibetan Terrier won ? he has been in the final 7 before ( I think 2 years ago ) and didn't win then Sam P.s not that I understand the first thing about dog showing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
