Herding dogs can be tricky to own since natural instincts may cause them to try to herd your human family up! This group saw a familiar face — the same breed we remembered from past Super Bowl commercials and the same dog that won the Herding Group in 2009.

2010 Westminster Winners: Non-Sporting Group
My biased opinion had me waiting on the edge of the couch (with North) to see which pooch would win the hodgepodge Non-Sporting Group. Now, as you can see from the final four, no Boston Terrier love again this year. Oh well. But three smooshies made it far!

2010 Westminster Winners: Toy Group
With the smallest pups of all, the toys are far from playthings. Oftentimes considered a lotta dog in a little package, this group's judge made funny sounds to get the pups to respond . . . and did they ever!

Will You Watch Westminster?
Of course, North and I will be tuning in to the 134th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show on Feb. 15 and 16 — we never miss it! Even though I'm disappointed that Mario Lopez can't host after all, maybe that would have proven too distracting from the pups?!

Regardless, dog show madness is starting (with the AKC/ Eukanuba National Championship airing this weekend) and I plan to lead up to the big NYC event with breed slideshows and show trivia before covering the winners — will you be watching it as well . . . or just waiting for my recaps?
