My brother and sister-in-laws dog, Ch Prescott Charlie Bird Parker, competes today at Westminster. He is a Soft-coated Wheaton Terrier. Judging is at 2:45. Fingers crossed!

So many of us on this board are acquainted with famous people - how many know famous animals?

Thanks- we will definitely watch. Hopefully he'll get lots of air time and win! Wheatens are such great dogs!

I read about that, SOMMS. As I recall, one reviewer called him "the most adorable domestic sea creature since Nemo."

The Bucks County Courier Times said that he gave a performance on par to Charlie the Tuna's Macbeth. He was up for a "Petty" but lost to a Schnauser, a bitch named Talulah.

That's really too bad. Did that sour him on the business?

Sono I'm crossing my fingers for Ch. Prescott Charlie Bird Parker to win his breed and then onto the group and finally BEST IN SHOW. It's a bitch of a contest.

My two friends are the web photogs for the Westminster Show. If you go on the show's website all of the pictures that you see were taken by them.

Let's hope they are snapping my nephew's photo! Parker all the way!

I hope so too! Wheatens never get the press that they deserve. Perhaps it is just with the few shows that I've watched, but they never seem to get that much air time. I already set the Replay (same thing as Tivo) for tonight's show.

Argh. If I had more than basic cable, I'd watch... I always used to.
Best of luck, though!

Parker did not win Best of Breed.
However, he did win the Award of Merit, so he was essentially first runner-up. He has already qualified for the National Dog Show next year.

I don't know that much about dog shows, but from what I've read, 2 is really young to be winning such a high award! Congrats!
