Great movie!
(And a fairly accurate picture of the real dog show world.)

LOL, her, that lady who played George Lopez' Mother, and De Niro are the 3 best actors/actresses I have ever seen. If I had to pick one, I'd go with G Lopez' mom.

This fkn Peking Disease is the 2nd ranked dog in the whole country. 108 Toy Group Wins, and 47 Best in Shows. That means, almost half the time, if it wins the TOY group, they lay down, and give it the Best in Show, too. So, when that judge had it 2nd, he was playing games. He wanted to make it seem like someone else had a chance, but he just happened to "rethink it," and ask the Peking Disease handler to let him see that dog's head. It's bullshyt. He picked a Peking Disease as Best in Show at Westminster in 1990. No way he wasn't gunna pick it. If you've got a fetish for those hedgehog types, that's strong bias to get by. I mean the Min Poodle that won the Toy group last year (beating this same Peking Disease) is not even in his top 4? ......Over 40% of the time, a Peking Disease or a Miniature Poodle wins the Toy Group. It's not like it's a totally open contest. I would not try to show a Toy Dog that isn't one of those 2 breeds. You will end up screwed (like the Affenpinscher's connections were last night.) To be honest, last night, that Affenpinscher was absolutely silk, and couldn't overcome this bias.

It's not so much bias as it is politics.

In honor of the dog show my dog just assdragged across the carpet. Time for a butt-squeeze
