On Saturday evening i found myself thoroughly engrossed in Animal Planet's broadcast of the Eukanuba Tournament of Champions. Did you know it takes 5 hours to groom a Maltese for a dog show? And blood hounds and other 'scent' breeds not only have big noses for smelling, their long ears and droopy faces also function in scent detection by trapping the scent in all the skin and keeping it closer to the nose. And of course, they have short legs to keep them closer to the ground/smell. (Intelligent Design? i think the word your looking for is Freaking-Genius-Omniscient-Creator Design) My personal favorite? The puli. If you really love me you'll get me one. Dog shows are fun. i'm a nerd.

my sis watches so much animal planet tv that she knows all the breeds of dumb dogs like this. she can even say stuff like "ya, that's a lab/collie/blue tick coon hound mix which means it has a higher risk for later life hip displacement" She's pre-vet. She's crazy.
it isn't any sort of design. it's called selective breeding.
our forefathers were smarter than we give them credit for.
...sometimes.
kal- just so you know, my "creepy" friend has one of these dogs. His name is Harry Potter (Harry for short, of course) and he is in all kinds of agility competitions! I know because I watched one in which Harry was in a relay race with three other dogs! Dreds were flying, tennis balls were being shot in the air, dogs were barking and our team won! It was great. If you liked the show competitions, you would love these agility competitions. Does the fact that Chad has a Puli make him less creepy and more awesome? Because it should. Because he is.
Mom and Dad are on their way here and we are going to sea world tomorrow! Yay for me and yay for sea world! –b0n-
