Westminster Dogs -- Best in Show

NEW YORK (Map, News) - Asleep in his crate, Domino looked like the most peaceful, innocent pooch on the planet. Ha! Just wait, handler Paul Clas cackled. These Portuguese water dogs can cause all sorts of mischief, he said. And if President Barack Obama really does decide to make one the First Dog, look out.

"They'll bring comedy to the White House. Interesting things would happen," Clas said Tuesday at the Westminster Kennel Club show. "I think it would be hilarious."

Pacifying this active breed - among the two the Obamas are considering - isn't always easy, even with a big yard and a big staff. It sometimes takes an extra treat.

"Obama may not take bribes, but his Portuguese water dog would," Clas said.  This dog won the "best in show" at the Westminster Dog Show 2009.

 

Okay I think Haley could have won if she only knew better manners.  You pick.

First time I've heard of a Potugese water dog. Something new every day.

The movie "Best in Show" captured the spirit of dog shows and gave it a very funny twist or two. Rent it if you need a good giggle.

Yes, that movie "Best in Show" was pretty funny.  I have seen it before.  I just love dogs.

Have a good one.
