Huge Congratulations to the 2022 Westminster Kennel Club Best Junior Handler, Erin Bernecker showing her Lowchen, CH Skyline’s Take ‘Em To The Station.
Are you ready for this week’s great #ThrowbackThursday photo? Can you name this young dog show handler in this week’s Throwback?
No, it’s not a small Doberman. Owners of German Pinschers must tire of the reference. The German Pinscher is one of the breeds behind both the Doberman Pinscher and Miniature Pinscher and other “pinscher” breeds. The breed was developed in southern Germany and originally had one of two different coats–smooth coats and wire coats. The wire-haired dogs were called “Schnauzers” and became the separate Standard Schnauzer breed.
Tonight, the breed winners from the Sporting, Working and Terrier groups compete for one of the most coveted titles in dogdom–Westminster Group Winner.
Two days into Westminster 2022 and the reviews are mixed. Monday’s glorious weather definitely offset some of the challenges posed by this site–especially the parking. The Lyndhurst Estate is a justifiably celebrated historic site, with much to offer in terms of history and scenic vistas. But it was never designed to accommodate heavy traffic and big rigs. Those lush lawns and gardens are built on a maze of sloping hills, accessible via a network of narrow, dirt roads. It’s ideal if you want to stroll around the grounds and admire the views. Not quite so charming if you’re hauling dogs and equipment.
Regular followers of mine will be well aware of the numerous house moves we have undertaken over the past few years and, as anyone with dogs will know (we currently have a pack of four), house moves and renting can be extremely stressful!
