You can hardly blame him for hiding them though. Paolo is a bit of an ass when it comes to hogging bones. He never wants one unless Archie is chewing on it.
I think Archie is the brains of the pair.
Congrats! Also, does this mean that the next time I visit, I'll not only get annihilated at Mario Kart but also chewed on by a champion?
Congrats on all the hard work paying off Kiri!
Hugs/butt-pats to the boys: Paolo, Archie, Robear & Rocub!
Crappy cell phone pic of Paolo winning best in breed, until Kiri gets the better ones up.
That's a good shot, SH, thanks!
He still did a damn good showing though. Since I don't really understand how dog shows work, was he up against tougher dogs the second time around or why didn't he do as well the second time?
A lot of it is the judges, SH. I don't think this judge particularly cared for Porties. No big deal, though, he did great.
For the past 6 months, Ro and I have been considering purchasing a Dog Brick and I bought the boys a one today. It is supposed to challenge them mentally, and works like the sliding grid toys with each square having a depression where you can hide a treat. I am figuring that this toy will keep my boys challenged for 10 minutes or more if I am lucky. 30 seconds and Paolo had all the treats out.
30 frigging seconds. I spent 60 bucks for a toy that didn't really challenge them.
Funny, I have something similar arriving in the mail tomorrow. My basset gets bored with her toys at an alarming rate and I need to find something that will repeatedly occupy her.
I got this one because after seeing a video the sliding brick puzzles seemed really simple. With the one I chose at least you can put multiple blocks in one slider to make it a bit more complicated. Hopefully it takes her more than 30 seconds to figure out.
Paolo is competing this week. So far, he took Select Dog (2nd place in the Breed ring) on Wednesday, which is a point towards his Grand Championship. Today, he won Best of Breed, which means he's competing in his Group ring, well... RIGHT NOW!
I'll post results later. Cross your paws, this is a big one for us.
Edit - No luck in the Group ring, but still a red letter day!
That's awesome, congrats on helping your dog take over the world.
You'll have a place in the kennel when the revolution comes, Ken.
Robear has proven that old saying that music soothes the savage beast. I kid you not. He plays classical music and the Porties are as calm as can be. It is the funniest thing to watch.
What happens when you play different kinds of music? Have you tried Latin contemporary? Christian? Country?
Sounds like a veterinary doctoral dissertation grant.

Veeerrry funny...
Awesome, good luck Kiri!
I keep reading 'Paolo' as 'Paleo' and I get all confused. Good luck at the championship!

I am over at their house all the time. I can't where shorts there because Paolo likes to lick my knees and chew my leg hair off while I am watching TV.
