The winner gets to have a lot of puppies. The goal of dog shows is to find a dog that most conforms to the proportions and features that each individual breed holds as a standard. Personality was noted as one of the reasons for Rumor the German Shepherd’s win. A German Shepherd may have won the Westminster Dog Show last night, but it was a different dog that won my heart: One who was letting us know that he really didn’t want to be there…
