Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show Fuels Dog Questions

Last week the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show had people glued to their TV sets watching to see who would win "The Best of Show". For the record the winner was a German Shorthaired Pointer named CJ. But the show gets dog owners thinking about a few things;

• Why is that dog so well behaved and mine is not?
• How is that trainer able to actually get that dog to do those things?
• What kind of dog is that? How do you pronounce that breed?
• Where do all of the dogs go when it's bathroom time? Come on, we are talking about hundreds of dogs in NYC, is there more hydrants brought it? Is there a company that just brings fire hydrants to places so dogs can do that?
• How can I get my dog to be in that big NYC show? I mean, they can sit, if there are treats involved.
• So what kind of prize money is involved? Are we talking just a trophy or cash? Life supply of free-trade organic dog food?

If I could enter my dog into the competition based solely on his cuteness level alone, I do believe that he would win. If he would have to sit on command, roll over or stay, well, let's just say that is another story. In the mean time, he and I will continue to watch the second longest held sporting event in the nation, like the arm chair quarterbacks that we are.
