BEST IN SHOW, 2010, Westminster Kennel Club
Sadie the Scottie Wins Again

Source: Reuters

Half of the winners of this event in past have been terriers; this year there were protesters.

(Breeders quoted confidentially on scottiecancer.com suggest some awareness that breeding for show purposes concentrates both desirable traits and possibly has led to the high rate of cancer in Scotties).

In youtube video - live coverage of the Westminster Kennel Club in 2010, the commentator states that "Sadie understands the words hotdog and cookie in 5 different languages".

Breeder comment that Sadie was "confused" last year.

(Can hotdog and cookie treat training be a good thing? Wouldn't a natural good practice show be great? Could consumers of social media get adequately organized to start one?
The "confused" comment refers to Sadie peeing on the floor during the competition last year---Good on you girl!).

Ref: The Windsor Star "unscheduled pee stop" last year.
