Thanks for the video link. Win or lose it's always wonderful to watch our breed in the ring….such dignity and grace, especially when there is a mandatory sit and scratch on the agenda:D
@wizard:
I'm sorry but that Pekinese, even though it has won before, is still just a waddling caterpiller to me.
My picks would have been the Dalmation, Doberman, or GS.
With a Pekinese you aren't sure what is underneath that coat. He may have wonderful bone structure. With the smooth coated breeds you see what you get, no chance of hiding anything with hair there.
I might be late in the game, here. But have you seen this video? I like that they make a nod to Basenji naughtiness!

Cool! You got some good ones in there. I'm excited to go someday now. You only get a glimpse of basenjis if you're lucky on the televised shows. Thanks for sharing.
