Is it just me, or do hounds basically get ignored in these all-breed dog shows? I remember hearing how unusual it was for a hound to win best in show at Westminster - and even the best of the hound group is usually, as someone else mentioned, one of those "hairy" hounds and not any of the beagle/foxhound/harrier type (although I think a basset was best hound a few years ago). What gives? Don't they all know beagles (and their bigger cousins) are the absolute BEST!!!

The Petits Bassets Griffons Vendeen won. Yes, it is a "fuzzy" dog.

The PBGV (I've got the jargon down...) was cute - but did you notice that ALL of the "finalists" (okay, I don't know what they are called - the ones the judge asks to see again at the end) from the group, except for the whippet, were fuzzy hounds... Does a nice hairstyle make you a better dog?! Grrr.
