New York has gone to the dogs, according to sportscaster Mary Carillo.

And that's a good thing, said Carillo, this year's co-host of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.

We have a Gordon Setter, though they apparently don't get much love at the WEstminster show.

A friend of mine had a Gordon Setter as a pet and hunting companion for 13 wonderful years. He was a great dog. He kept his hair trimmed for ease of grooming, though.

Yes, we don't show him or anything, so his hair is kept short. He's a great dog.

Yeah I would have to shave that breed but I hear they are nice. Irish Setters destroy stuff though.
