Siba, A Standard Poodle, Crowned Top Dog At Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show

I love Westminster!! All the dogs performed beautifully (well, Irish water spaniel was a little too jittery) and adhered to their standards. I loved the Siberian husky, since I have 2 huskies myself & I loved the husky's effortless gait. The wire fox terrier usually wins a lot, so it was refreshing to see a different breed. Historically, a poodle was trimmed to protect the joints when the dog went into cold water (fur around joints, tail, and chest). There's also slight differences between European & American bloodlines, as well as working bloodlines & show bloodlines. With European bloodlines, they tend to be stockier whereas American bloodlines tend to be slimmer (Labrador, Doberman, boxer are a few examples). What's the difference between working & show lines? Take a look at the Siberian huskies in the Iditarod, they're not as fluffy or rounded but both lines should perform what they were originally bred to do (working line also known as ''pet quality''). Hope you learned something!
