Fabulous photos of the MEET THE BREEDS Dog Show

I remember as I posted on some of those pics. Did you ever find out which breeds were which?

And there are going to be six new breeds this year; I guessed before seeing each breed and got two wrong. One of them they said is also known as the Redtick Coonhound, so I'll know him as that and not the American English Coonhound.

They also have the: Cesky Terrier, Finnish Lapphund, Entlebutcher Dog (now they just need the Appenzeller and they have all four Swiss breeds), Norwegian Lundehund (I love those guys...did you know some people don't consider them part of the Canis familiaris family because of their six toes, that they can close their ears, and they can put their head all the way back to their neck!?), and the last one is the Mexican Hairless (aka Xolo...can't spell it nor pronounce it, but it's pronounced as the show-low).

This Feb. 13 (8-9pm on USA and then 9-11pm on CSNBC) and 14 (8-11pm on USA). CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have no time to put breed names next to photos. But if there are some photos you can't ID I bet I can't either. Feel free to name any you can.

WEIRD.

So what family SHOULD they be in?

For me, Feb 13 and 14: 9 AM to whenever it ends. 14 hour days, not including train travel. Whew. I always dread the effort, but it is still a great time.

I thought there was a second album of MTB, with the Coton display, but I'm having trouble finding it. Maybe I am tired; it is late.

Well, I found the photos, but not in an album. Will put them in one and post shortly.

^No idea, but just because an animal is a bit stranger than his counterpart doesn't mean he shouldn't be in the same family. Well now I can't find where they said it, must've been an old dog book.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norsk_Lundehund

Well I did find one dog that they think isn't also part of the Canis familaris family: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Guinea_Singing_Dog
^I always thought he was part of the dog family, but they're always in the pariah section.
