00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: at that dog, it's basis beyond cute. Look at that hair.

46
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: So apparently, UM, if you want to blow up the

47
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: Twitter verse with angry tweets, you can um talk politics,

48
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: you can talk religion, or you can hold the Westminster

49
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: Dog Show and selective best in show. People get pretty upset. Man,

50
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: people went crazy last year. So like, um, what like

51
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: you commenting or just in the Twitter universe people on Twitter. Yeah, no,

52
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: I'm just a fan. I don't I don't show no,

53
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,480

54
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: tough on the thumbs. Um. But so MALICKI this little

55
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: cute four year old Pekinese um one best in show

56
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: and um people were really mad. They called it a

57
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: mop becausin it Haraldo Riverez mustache a wookie snooky for

58
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: some reason, maybe just because it rhymes with wookie and

59
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: that's what they were going for. And they had just

60
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: been watching Jersey Shore. Who knows, Um, But Maliki is

61
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: no slouch. Um they had one a hundred and fourteen

62
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: Best in Show Awards. Wow, only four years old, so

63
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: this thing's been mopping up the competition. Oh man, I

64
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: just made myself shiver. But people are crazy, they they

65
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: One guy said he was a fan of the m Dalmatian.

66
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: He said, I'm done with these dog shows, and I

67
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: think that happens every year show exactly. There's a lot

68
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: of people who feel very passionately about dog shows. There's

69
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: plenty of people like me who love to just zone

70
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: out and watch them. Um. And then you know, there's

71
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: people who just don't know anything about them. And that's

72
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: what we're here for today, to explain everything there is

73
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: to know about how dog shows work. That's right, and

74
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: this will either be really interesting to you or you

75
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: made just zone out like Josh does watching the Westminster Show.

76
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: You know though, UM, I don't think we've ever released

77
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: an uninteresting episode. Maybe they have uninteresting titles, but you

78
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: go on and you listen to it, it will interest you.

79
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: I defy you right now. Step you should know listeners

80
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: who haven't listened to every single episode, So we'll call

81
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: you the twenty percent um to go out and find

82
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: an episode that sound boring in the title that you've

83
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: not heard and listened to it, and I guarantee you

84
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,119
Speaker 1: you will find it interesting. It's the it's just the

85
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: thing one comes to mind. College football rankings interesting to me.

86
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: But boy, our listeners are not into college football. But

87
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: was it for the most part boring? Was it really

88
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: not interesting? There's nothing interesting in there. I think if

89
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: you're not into sports at all, then it was probably

90
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: really boring. But um, well we'll avoid that one or

91
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: the guarantee is void. But hey, if you're into sports,

92
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: you'll love it. No. I think on the other end,

93
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 1: if you're into sports, it was like, will you guys

94
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: mess this up? Or you forgot this? Yeah? Oh and hey,

95
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: by the way, congratulations we are now an award winning podcast.

96
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: We got a stitchy. Is that what they're called? That's

97
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 1: what I made up. Mark Marin had to call our names.

98
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: He hosted these Stitcher awards last night. Yeah, he won

99
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: one himself for the best Episode. Yeah, we were nominated

100
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: for that too, for we were one that I didn't

101
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: think was ten Accidental Intervention. I mean, that was okay,

102
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: but I would have picked a different best episode. I

103
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: think it was the sacrament bit that really led us

104
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: into that on the toast. Yeah, um, okay, So anyway,

105
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: dog shows, Yeah, um, conformation shows, not firmation c O

106
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: n f O R are what we're gonna talk about

107
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: for most of the show, and that is pure bred

108
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: dogs competing against other pure bred dogs almost exclusively based

109
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: on physical attributes. Yeah, that's the Westminster Dog Show that

110
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: you see every year at Madison Square Garden. Yes. Um,

111
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: it's just yeah, what the dog looks like, and um,

112
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: basically it's appearance, its body structure, and then to a

113
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: lesser extent um, it's dude. Yeah, it's attitude, it's a

114
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: character because that also what they're trying to do here.

115
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: If you've ever watched a part of this and I

116
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: love that this Uh who wrote this one? Jay McGrath,

117
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: oh old Jane, I remember her? Uh she wrote that,

118
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: have you ever been channel surfing and come across one?

119
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of people that is their

120
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: entrance into the dog show world is they're flipping it

121
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: around in February. They go, oh, yeah, that thing where

122
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,239
Speaker 1: the Christopher Guest movie mocked. I'll watch a few minutes

123
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: of that and I've done that, and I've always been

124
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: like I don't get it. How are they judging these

125
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: other dogs against each other? It's a very good question,

126
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: and we're here to tell you how. Yeah, because you

127
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: know you this little Pekinese went up against things like

128
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: Great Danes and Dalmatians and Doberman's and all that, and

129
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: it's still beat them all. And the way it did

130
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: that is how they judge any kind of confirmation show.

131
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,679
Speaker 1: They judge the dog by the standards of its breed,

132
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: and then the dog that most closely fits those idealized

133
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: standards wins these very specific registered I'm gonna say registered standards. Yeah,

134
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: it's so. Let me give you an example. I was

135
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: looking this up. There's a the in the a k

136
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: C has developed these standards from information taken from breeders

137
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: and um they for example, the Lakeland Terrier. UM. One

138
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: of the standards is its attitude right, and it has

139
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: the Lakeland Terrier has quote a bowl gay and friendly

140
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: with the confident cock of the walk attitude. So this

141
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: this is the kind of thing that the a k C. Yeah,

142
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: basically I love that. Uh. In England they have different standards.

143
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: That's the American Kennel Club and they have a different

144
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: show called Crufts c c R you f T s

145
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: UM and there's just a little bit different, but we'll

146
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: get to that later. Yeah, we'll talk about that in

147
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: a little bit. For the most part, we're focused on

148
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 1: Westminster in the a k c. So, in addition to attitude,

149
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: character traits UM, there's all those physical traits that the

150
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: a k c UM has maintained on each breed. So

151
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: for example, allans and not how well the dog stands up,

152
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: although the gate is important. If you're talking like falls over,

153
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: that's probably a bad sign. But yeah, it's yeah, it's

154
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: not gonna win this year. Um. Balance is what we

155
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: would call symmetry for humans. It's you know, the overall

156
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: proportions of its shape and size. Yeah, like that Scottish

157
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: terrier is really pretty, except boy, look at those ears.

158
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: The size of its butt. Yeah you're out, sorry, Scotty.

159
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: Uh wait size eyes and again eyes is size and

160
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: shape and color. If you've got that one, wonky, I

161
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: forget about it unless you're an Australian shepherd. Yeah they are.

162
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: They supposed to have one. I think they're supposed to

163
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: have a blue and a brown and blue and a brown.

164
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: Everyone I've seen has But what does the a case say,

165
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, they don't care what she loves like

166
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:54,479
Speaker 1: you When I think the head shape, of course, ears, muzzle, whiskers,

167
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: thickness of whiskers is an important one. Really, Yeah, I

168
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: would think they'd be an indicator of of poor health.

169
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: What that bad whiskers? Thin whiskers, riddle whiskers. I think

170
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: you you want nice stout whiskers like uh, it's centimeter

171
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: thick each. Okay, that's probably the standard for any breed.

172
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: This is the j K c uh teeth. You always

173
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 1: see what them checking out the teeth. Um. You don't

174
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: want any kind of weird scissor bite or ah. I

175
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: guess certain breeds have the underbyte. Yeah, a lot of

176
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: them do the breaky old CARDI yeah, our own Jerry's dog, Charlie,

177
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: I recently learned as a bit of a little underbite,

178
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: and sometimes the lip will get hung and the little

179
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: bottom teeth are just kind of jetted out there. It's

180
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: it's very cute. You want to go over and like

181
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: adjust the lip, so here you go. Yeah. I like

182
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: dogs that have like teeth sticking like cheese us. Yeah,

183
00:10:53,520 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: boxers too, write boxers, um pugs, Pekinese. Oh, did one. Yeah,

184
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: they all have that. It's it's like brachial cardi. It's

185
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: like anything with a smushed face usually has an underbyte

186
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: as well. Uh teeth, all right, we just had teeth tail,

187
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean, um, shoulders, and these these dudes are feeling.

188
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: These judges are feeling these dogs as well, like muscle

189
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: and bone, like they're trying to get under the fur

190
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 1: to judge these things. So one of the big things

191
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: your dog has to learn very early on is to

192
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: let strangers feel him up. Yeah, in all sorts of

193
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: uncomfortable places. Yeah, you don't want your dogs snapping at

194
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 1: this guy when he fondles your dog. And if your

195
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: dog snaps at the judge and then falls over, just

196
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: just go home. It's all over. What did they say

197
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: invest in show when the dog broke his gate? The

198
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: one guy, So he might as well just taken a

199
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: dump right there on the floor. So yeah, Michael McKeen

200
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: said that he's awesome. Um. And then of course there's

201
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: coat lengthen texture and color, and very much like thoroughbred horses,

202
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: there's accepted colors for each breeze. You the dog that's

203
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: blue and it's supposed to be a golden retriever, you

204
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: got problems. Yeah, if you got a blue retriever, you

205
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: have many problems. Although you could probably make some money

206
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: taking it around the country taking an old timey circus.

207
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: Where you can't make money is by winning the Westminster

208
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: Dog Show. Yeah, that's a good point. You would think

209
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: that these these things offer like big cash prizes, but

210
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: they don't. It is really about prestige and being one

211
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: of those dog show people like you know, wearing that

212
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: ribbon and getting that trophy, wearing sensible shoes and you know,

213
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: learning to walk very fast. That's right, because your gate

214
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: matters is a human, you know. So you put all

215
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: this together, right, and these these judges know the standards

216
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: for the breeds, and when they're looking at this these dogs,

217
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: they're saying, they're matching it up to their uh mental

218
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: catalogs they have um and then the ones that most

219
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: closely match the idealized version of their breed, like we said, wins.

220
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: And that's how you get the the little you know,

221
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: loss of ops or the Pekinese that can beat out

222
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: like a Great Dane or a German shepherd or something

223
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: like that. That's how they compare them. Yeah, and that's

224
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: only been going on since I say only since nineteen

225
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: o seven, um, previous to that, And this has been

226
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: going on at Madison Square Garden uh In in in New

227
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: York City since eighteen seventy seven. Time, they didn't have

228
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: a best in show at all until nineteen o seven

229
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: because they said, you know, how do we codify this right?

230
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: And they did. They figured it out and it's really

231
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: Jane says, it sounds confusing, but once I spell it out,

232
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: it's simple. But it's still a little confusing. Yeah, it

233
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: took me a couple of times to to figure this out.

234
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: There's just a lot of stuffs. She does a great

235
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: job of explaining, and it's just there's a lot to it.

236
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: So you wanna you wanna explain this to the Westminster

237
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: Dog Show. We should say is the pinnacle, the peak

238
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: in the United States for any dog, But there's a

239
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: long road ahead of it, like we said, now, like, hey,

240
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: the winner of two thousand twelve show had a hundred

241
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: teen best in shows under its belt. Yeah, and Jane

242
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 1: called it the super Bowl. I would say it's more

243
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: like an All Star Game if the All Star Game

244
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 1: counted for something, you know, because it's all these all

245
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: stars from the different breeds, from all these shows making

246
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: this final It's like the Little League World Series for dogs. Great,

247
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: it's like the Chess. It's like Bobby what's his face?

248
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: Fisher almost said Bobby Riggs and liked story. Who Bobby Riggs?

249
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: Bobby Fisher? Oh yeah, did you ever see Searching for

250
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: Bobby Fisher? It did? It was great movie. Here's back. Uh.

251
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: And then you know, of course, um that song One

252
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: Night in Bangkok. Yeah, it's from a Broadway show and

253
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: I can't remember what the Broadway show is, but it

254
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: was based on Bobby Fisher in his life and now

255
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: he moved to Asian and just evolved in the manus.

256
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: That song is about Bobby Fisher, and that was from

257
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: a Broadway show as far as I know. Yes, And

258
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: then the pop vision was just re recorded by whoever

259
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: that was, possibly by the original composers, but for the radio.

260
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: I thought One Night in Bangkok was about you would

261
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: think never mind, I was gonna bring up all you

262
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: had to do? Is this in there? Yeah? Who was

263
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: Gary Glitter? That's what I was thinking. Yeah, I don't

264
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: think so. I think he got in trouble in Bangkok.

265
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: If you know what I mean he did, and he

266
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: recently got in trouble with the whole Jimmy Saville. He

267
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: was part of that too, apparently, gross Man. What a

268
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: sidetrack that was? So? Um Okay, to be a champion, right,

269
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: this is what a dog games for is to be

270
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: a champion. That's right, Because if you're a champion, you

271
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: um get to add c H as a prefix to

272
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: your name. Yeah, like I would be c H. Then

273
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: Chuck if I were a champion dog, yeah, you'd beat you, Chuck, Chuck.

274
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: All right, So let's walk everyone through this, right, all right.

275
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: To be a champion, you gotta get compile a certain

276
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: number of points, uh. And you earn these points at

277
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: different dog show competitions around the country that are not

278
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: the Westminster show. Yeah, and from different judges. Right, you

279
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: gotta get at least fifteen points from three different judges

280
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: or at least two major wins from separate judges. And

281
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: a major win, uh is one where you can earn three,

282
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: four or five points, And that's when you can get

283
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: the right as a champion just for that little show though, right,

284
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: or no, for the compilation of those shows. Right. So um,

285
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: when you get this, uh, when you get to become

286
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: a champion. Um when you have I think it's fifteen

287
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: points and two major wins from separate judges. Yes, you're right, Um,

288
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: you you get to this point. Also, like you said,

289
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: it's not Westminster, it's these little specialty shows. And I

290
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: don't mean little to diminish and I'm just saying compared

291
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: to Westminster, they're much smaller. It's not on ESPN and

292
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: there's specialty shows. Well, it's on the Oh Chow, I'll

293
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: bet um it's the specialty shows are based on UM

294
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: specific breeds, so you'll go to like the Chuhaha Show

295
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: or um the Lakeland Terrier Show. Uh. And the dogs

296
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: are separated between male and female and we can say

297
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: the B word in this one because that's what it's called.

298
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: That's my new band name, by the way, what winner's bitch? Okay?

299
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: Um and Uh they're the males and the females. Are

300
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: then separated into six different classes. You've got the puppy class,

301
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: the twelve eighteen month old class novice, so those are

302
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: dogs that are UM six months or older that haven't

303
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: won any point yet, haven't won any first place prizes,

304
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: so they can be a little older. But there's still

305
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: rookies as far as the competition stage goes, right, and

306
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,959
Speaker 1: six months is the minimum age to compete in an

307
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: A k C show. Yeah, below that, you're just there's

308
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: no way. Yeah, they're too dumb to unpredictable. Um. Bread

309
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: by exhibitor is a class of dogs where the person

310
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,239
Speaker 1: showing the dog is also the breeder. The breeder, by

311
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: the way, is the owner of the dog's mother. Right. Um,

312
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: there's American bread, which is any dog born in the

313
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: US USA. UM. And then there's open the open classes

314
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: open to any dog. And this is the only class

315
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: that any dog that's already become a champion can compete in.

316
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 1: In the specialty show, oh they are Yeah, that's the

317
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: only class open to that. Because they could just mop

318
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: up all the other classes. They have to face any

319
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: takers in the open class, it's a good way to

320
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: put it. So they divide it up by male and female.

321
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,719
Speaker 1: The males go first, and they, you know, inspect all

322
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: the males as they do it any of the shows.

323
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: You know what that means. Finally, you give them the

324
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 1: award ribbons first through fourth place, and you don't get

325
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: any points at this point though. The first place. Winners

326
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: of the male class have to compete for the winner's dog.

327
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: The female's class compete for winners bitch. You want to

328
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: say it, I've said it twice now I don't want

329
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: to say I find it difficult to say. Really, it's

330
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 1: just the connotations are sure. You know, I've never used

331
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: that word, uh in like anger about someone that's it's

332
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: a it's a very rough it's yeah, And I don't don't.

333
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: I don't think that makes me a good person or anything.

334
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: But there's just a couple of things that like I

335
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't call my worst enemy, and that's one of them. Gotcha,

336
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: I don't have any enemies. What am I talking about?

337
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: So you've got the winner's dog in the winner's bitch,

338
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: um and uh this is this is the point where

339
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: they start um winning awards point points. I mean, I'm sorry. Um,

340
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: So this is all all these different dogs have been

341
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: weeded out by the different classes and then there there

342
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: you've got the out of all these six classes of

343
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: the male cad male version, in the female version, you

344
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: have winners, right, and then there's uh so this is

345
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: where the points start being awarded. Then there's chances for

346
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,959
Speaker 1: more points in the same show. Um, any champion can

347
00:19:55,960 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: come along and take the winners on for um best

348
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,959
Speaker 1: in show or best in breed. Yes, and you can,

349
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: and you compile extra points depending on how many dogs

350
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: they beat out. So if you beat out a bunch

351
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: of more dogs, you can turn up to five points. Right,

352
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: five is the most. And remember a major wins three

353
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 1: or four or five points in a win. Yes, okay, Um,

354
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: so you can win some by being the winner's dog

355
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,239
Speaker 1: or the winner's bitch. You can, Um, the champions can

356
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: take those guys on in the best of breed and

357
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 1: then um, between those two, the winner's bitch and the winner, um,

358
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: winner's dog, there's another walk off I guess, and um

359
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: they can win point to ever be two. And then

360
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: there's the best of opposite sex. Yeah, that was the

361
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: best of winners, and then the best of opposite sex,

362
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: which it says the best dog of the opposite sex

363
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: of the best of breed. Yes, So whichever dog, whether

364
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: it's the winner's dog, the winner's bitch, or any champion

365
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 1: that took him on, and one the best of breed,

366
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: say that's a male that wins. Then there's another category

367
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: for the winners. That's females or vice versa, the opposite

368
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: best of opposite. Basically, it's like, we got all these

369
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: points sitting around, let's let's get rid of some good point.

370
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: Or or it's like, did you ever go to camp

371
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 1: and like run a race but ran terribly, but you

372
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 1: still got a ribbon that just said participant. Maybe it's

373
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: like that. That's like every race I ever rand the

374
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: same here. Basically I had a trophy once that just

375
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: it was a sad face. Really Yeah, there's a baseball

376
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: bat was kind of sitting at the foot of the

377
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: kid with his head hung down frowning. Yeah. I played

378
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: church sports, so we didn't. Uh, they didn't do a

379
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: lot of trophies, even in church leagues. Like the ultimate

380
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: victor of the church we got a trophy, but they

381
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: weren't big on like ribbons and trophies. The ultimate victor

382
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: of the church league, I would imagine, is salvation. Yea,

383
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: we all won, Okay, so then you've got your best

384
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: of breed winner and then that dog can then advance

385
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: to a group show where all these best of breed

386
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: winners compete a K A or a K see Westminster. Right.

387
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: So um, to make that point when you are at

388
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: a specialty show and you're aiming for Westminster, which I

389
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: imagine every dog there is. You want to win best

390
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: of Breed. You can win points and become a champion

391
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: through winning other stuff like best of Opposite Sex, best

392
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: of Winners, winners, dog winners, bitch right, But to move

393
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: on to the next level, you have to win best

394
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 1: of Breed of that show, and you have to win

395
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: a bunch. I imagine that's right. And at this point

396
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: half of our listeners are delighted in half their eyes

397
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: are rolling back into their head. Man, we just explain

398
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: the heck out of that. Um. So we're at Best

399
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: in Show, the movie that's such a good movie. If

400
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: you've not seen Best in Show, that Christopher Guest film, uh,

401
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: just go out and see it right now. Just stop.

402
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: I think it's streaming right now. I'm sure it is. Yeah,

403
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: it's really good. It's hard to pick out a favorite

404
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: part of that movie. But the scene that always pops

405
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 1: up to me when Parker Pozzy is trying to get

406
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: her replacement was it a b A little stuffed animal?

407
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: She can't find it, and the guys trying to help her.

408
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: He's like, well this is yellow and black and it

409
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: was like a parrot or something. I can't remember at all.

410
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: But she's just like my hero and that's great. She's

411
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: very good. Alright. So, um, a little bit on the

412
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: a k C. There are several hundred dog breeds in

413
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: the world, but the a k C only recognizes a

414
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: little over one, that's it. And they separate those into groups.

415
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: And yeah, the AKC loves categorizing, breaking putting dogs into

416
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: categories and breaking them down and then putting them into

417
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: new categories. Yeah, and that's what they do here. And

418
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: the poor dogs just like what you can have to treat,

419
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: can get a bacon strip or squirrel. Um. Okay, sporting

420
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: dogs this one, um, obviously these are dogs that are

421
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: good for hunting, pointers, retrievers, setters, and s annials. Yeah,

422
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: that's a good dogs. Great dogs. Um hounds, beagles, bloodhounds,

423
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: docks ands. I like hounds except for the baying, the howling,

424
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 1: the how oh my god, yeah a beagle of you

425
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 1: never heard like a beagle? No, I never had a

426
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: bag that much. They are loud and insistent, really super

427
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: cute puppies though, possibly the cutest puppies of any breed

428
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: I think. Yeah, those and Oh man, what's the one

429

Speaker 1: an Asian dog, the little puff balls Maltese. No, like,

431
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: is it a little dog in the end? Yeah, but

432
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: like the puppies are little puff balls and they stay

433
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: a little stay stay puff balls like Pomeranian. Yes, yeah,

434
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 1: those are pretty cute puppies. They don't even look real.

435
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 1: It looks like they don't squeeze them. It should make

436
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: a little noise they do, they do. Yeah, you don't

437
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: want to do that, okay. Um, working dogs, we're talking

438
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: Great Dame's Rottweiler St. Bernard's dogs who are hardy and

439
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: they even you know, are used as working dogs like

440
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: searching rescue stuff like that. Um. And then there's terriers

441
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: that chase rats. Did they maybe even fight? Um? Um

453
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: dog to be that young and that big, they don't

454
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: have control of their limbs yet. So Bro would just

455
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,719
Speaker 1: go running downstairs and just like face plant and then

456
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: get up and you know with the happiest expression behind

457
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: his little eyes that you can see that there. Um

458
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: what else? Toy dogs? Yeah, johuahua's, poodles, pugs and how

459
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 1: you pronounced it? I always said shitsu was it? She's

460
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: she's she's non sporting dogs. I guess these are the intellects.

461
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: This is a catch all breed um when you don't

462
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: have unifying characteristics, which is kind of sad. The one

463
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,719
Speaker 1: unifying characteristic is these dogs don't play. They don't play bulldogs,

464
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: Dalmatians and the American Eskimo dog, which I've never heard of. Yeah,

465
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: it's basically like, we don't know what to do with

466
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: you guys, so we're gonna put you in the non

467
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: sporting dog, and then two more hurting dogs like Australian

468
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: shepherds and uh miscellaneous. So remember we said that the

469
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: AKC likes to classify dogs, and there's more breeds than

470
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: it recognizes. This is a group that they you can't

471
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: win points, you can't win any major awards, I believe.

472
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: But if there's a breed that's starting to get more attention,

473
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: there's more people breeding it. It's like part of the

474
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: process of becoming recognized. You you start out in the

475
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: miscellaneous group, so that's pre recognition almost cheeze. Yeah, hey man,

476
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: these people are keeping track of like the dog's cock

477
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: shured nous. I mean, they're there. They pay attention to details, alright,

478
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: So the best of breeds in each of the group

479
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: are gonna compete in the group show and then if

480
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: you win that group show, then you compete in the

481
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: Ultimate I think we skipped that part, which is the

482
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: All Breed Show, and that's the All Star Game, the

483
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: super Bowl, that's Westminster, the chess match, the Bobby Riggs

484
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 1: versus uh Billy gene King. That's when a that's when

485
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: a judge goes through each of these groups and picks

486
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: out the best, right, Um, seven groups because the eight

487
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: can't win. And UM, they basically go through and say

488
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: you're number one, you're number two, you're number three, and

489
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: number four, and all of a sudden that number one

490
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: is the best in show, and the controversy erupts, Twitter

491
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: goes crazy. I'm gonna have to pay attention this year.

492
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's fun to watch. Yeah, I've never watched

493
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: it where I was like tense, but you know, I've

494
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: been like, oh, that's great, or oh really that's that's

495
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: that's nothing. I'm sure you find yourself rooting for certain

496
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: dogs though. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, there's always a dog. There's

497
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: always at least one if they capture where you're just like,

498
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: I like that dog. Uh. All right, let's talk about

499
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: the criticism of dog shows, because there's definitely plenty. Yeah there,

500
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: it's out there. Um. One of the problems that certain

501
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: groups have is that when you're talking pure bred dogs,

502
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: you're talking about breeding, and UM, myself and many others

503
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: are against dog breeding because there's plenty of dogs out

504
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: there for the taking, but they they're mutts, that's the

505
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: look of um. So breeders basically breed these dogs to

506
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: acquire these or to at least hold onto these attributes,

507
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: and that means in breeding sometimes and that means shorter lives,

508
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: fans and disease and defects, birth effects like Dalmatians tend

509
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: to suffer from blindness and German shepherds suffer from hip dysplasia,

510
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: and these these traits have become associated with the breed,

511
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: these standards of the breed that the AKC maintains. And

512
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,959
Speaker 1: it's kind of like, well, yeah, but if you if

513
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: you want to have a dog that meets all these

514
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: other criteria, it's also gonna get displasia when it's sticks.

515
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: And it's just part of in breeding. It's narrowing of

516
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: the gene pool. And I've definitely noticed and this isn't

517
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: of course, but all the dogs and people have known

518
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: who had dogs throughout the years, I've noticed more pure

519
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,959
Speaker 1: bred dogs dying younger than the MUDs. Well, supposedly they

520
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: have a weaker immune system. Like remember I don't remember

521
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: what episode it was, but we were talking about that

522
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: experiment that UM people sent. People use scents to detect

523
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: an immune system different from yours. Because when you put

524
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: together your immune system and somebody else's immune system for reproduction,

525
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: the kids should have a doubly great immune system. That

526
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: was a long time ago. I remember that, Yeah, it was.

527
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: I don't remember what episode it was, maybe so yeah. Um,

528
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: so remember a few minutes ago we were talking about

529
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: the miscellaneous category can eventually earn you status as an

530
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: officially recognized breed UM. The American Border Collie Association the

531
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: a b C a I really didn't want their dog

532
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: to become recognized by the a k C because they

533
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: thought that meant well, once it's an official breed, then

534
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: that means breeding will become more intense and these dogs,

535
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: you know, will suffer from all these things that we

536
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: just told you about. Yeah, they specifically petition with the

537
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: case don't recognize, don't recognize us, and a case said,

538
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: we're going to recognize. I don't think it was maliciously,

539
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: but they're like, this is what we do, and we're

540
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: going to recognize this dogg it's a breed. Now. They

541
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: were like, had you not asked, we wouldn't know, but

542
00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: you did so. Uh. And pets also file um an

543
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: official objection um against tail docking, which is when they

544
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: amputate you know, the tails, so you have a little nub.

545
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: It's such as tails, ears cropping. Yeah. Um, there's a

546
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: lot of breeds that have these unnatural attributes that you

547
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: have to perform surgery on to get, which is counterintuitive

548
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: because you're talking about the idealized version of a breed.

549
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: Why would you have to take some sort of technological

550
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: step to to reach that ideal version? Like if it

551
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: doesn't happen naturally, it seems really awful. Yeah it does

552
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: to me too, But I mean I don't even declaude

553
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: my cats, so the way to go, that's the way

554
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: I But I've got crap all over my house. It's

555
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: cat scratched. But yeah, but the time, you know, Holly

556
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: Fry of pop Stuff, she was talking about how, um

557
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: she lets her cats play on their iPad really and

558
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: I was like, you must have a serious scratch card

559
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: because there's like cat playing apps on iPad um And

560
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: she's like, well, I don't think we have a scratch card. Well,

561
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: when cats play around like that, they usually don't have

562
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: the claws out. They're usually just pawing around, you would hope.

563
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, I wouldn't put one on my bed, no way. Um.

564
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: I put on the little sticky things they have, like

565
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: clear tap pets that you put on like your couch arm,

566
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: and those are unsightly in collect hair and dust and

567
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: just one of the things. If you're an animal owner

568
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: with five animals in your house, it's hard to not

569
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: live with some hair. Do you have a rumba? Yeah,

570
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: you should probably get a rumba. It might change your life. Yeah.

571
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: I'm in love with my vacuum cleaner, so I feel

572
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: like that would be cheating on LuxI nice. Yeah, okay,

573
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: so what else was there? Oh? Joanah Goldberg had some

574
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: words about breeding, especially with the A k C. He

575
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: compares it to eugenics. Yeah. In fact, he thought it

576
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: spurred the eugenics movement. Yeah, and we're like, oh wow,

577
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: we have really great dog and um uh, we should

578
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: do this with humans. I'm tired of people with epilepsy.

579
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: Let's just get rid of them. And of course you

580
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: can go back and read or listen to um is

581
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: it Legal to Sterilized Addicts? Basically was all about eugenics. Um.

582
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: He also contends, and not really contends, it's pretty obvious

583
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: that it's a beauty pageant. They're focusing on these physical

584
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: attributes and um, only the aesthetic matters. In his opinion,

585
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: and that's not something he says. You know what, if

586
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: you want to judge a hunting dog, take it out hunting,

587
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: right and see how it does there. Because these jogs

588
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: that these jogs, these dogs have jobs. You know, most

589
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: dogs do have a job of some sort and let's

590
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: see how they do in their job. Yeah, like that's

591
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: how you would truly appreciate a breed, not just its looks.

592
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: And um, you mentioned u K's crufts. The England England's

593
00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:00,040
Speaker 1: Kennel Club runs crufts, um, and they do have it

594
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: of agility and stuff like that. Apparently they're criticized for

595
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: going too far the other way that they need to

596
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: bring back more confirmation conformation. Um. But yeah, if you

597
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: if you go to England and you're into dogs, you're

598
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 1: gonna be very surprised because they're they're big show doesn't

599
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: look anything like ours. Yeah, those are the well we'll

600
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: get into agility trials. But is that what they have

601
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: in there where you're running between the you're bobbing and

602
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: weaving and going through the tunnels and obedient stuff too.

603
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: And the a k C has these things that's just

604
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: not part of the big one, the Westminster show right, Um,

605
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: but Chuck. You would also probably appreciate England's Kennel Club,

606
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: maybe more than the a k C, because they have

607
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: something called Scruffs. Yeah. I want to see this televised.

608
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: It's it's basically the Crufts for crossberry dogs, non pure

609
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: bred dogs, and it's just adorable that they have this

610
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: and they welcome anything pretty much. Yeah. I mean, obviously

611
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: you have to have your dog trained. You can't just

612
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: walk up off the street, but as far a breeds go,

613
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 1: you can enter your dog. The criteria are pretty wide open,

614
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: and they just look for good temperament, good health, and

615
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: good character, which I like. Yeah. So um, we talked

616
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:19,399
Speaker 1: about agility trials. These are sometimes separate competitions altogether, and then,

617
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: like you said, in England incorporated into the best in Show.

618
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: And that's whether they're basically doing like a little obstacle course,

619
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,399
Speaker 1: which is adorable off leash. I mean, did you see

620
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: this picture. That's the cutest picture ever in this article

621
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: how dog shows work. Yeah, it's it's just a little

622
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: terrier jumping over like a little post and he's got

623
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: this look in his face like I'm gonna do it.

624
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: He is gonna do it. He's got his tail up man.

625
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 1: That's a cute picture. And then obedience trials are basically

626
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: taking commands from the handler, like you know, you've got

627
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: to be listening some of the commands or just uh

628
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: vocal some of them. You can't speak at all, and

629
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: you're just using hand gestures and they're just seeing how

630
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: well trained your dog is. Right, Um, yeah, that the

631
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: dog can become the champion, which is the national obedience Champion,

632
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,439
Speaker 1: which has got to be kind of a dubious honor

633
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 1: among dogs, like you're the most obedient dog in all

634
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: the land. It's kind of like, um, Kurt Russell when

635
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 1: he was like the star of Disney movies. It's like, yeah,

636
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: you're a movie star, but you're also like this, you know,

637
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: clean cut teen. But even he distanced himself later he's like, no,

638
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: I'm badder than this. I'm snay. Probably forgot about those

639
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: early movies. Those were awesome. That was a big fan

640
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: of us. What was it the the kid with two

641
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: white shoes or something like that. They were really like vanilla. Yeah,

642
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: they were pretty vanilla. Um. So over the years, Uh,

643
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: we have a few little stats. The breed that has

644
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:57,280
Speaker 1: won the most the Fox Terrier thirteen times, not bad um.

645
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: The dog that has won the most was Champion Warren Remedy.

646
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: It was a fox terrier who won three times in

647
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: a row in the early nineteen hundreds, so that's pretty good.

648
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: My favorites. The oldest dog to win the eight year

649
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: old Papillon who won Champion Low Ticky Supernatural Being, and

650
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: the youngest ever was a rough Collige named Longed Loyalty

651
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: of belle Haven and one on its ninth nine month birthday.

652
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: It's pretty young. Makes Bro look like an idiot. Bro

653
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: is an idiot. He's level though. I guess it's about

654
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 1: it right. Yeah, I'm gonna watch this year. I'm gonna

00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: is from Angela and Columbus, Ohio. There just ta coup buck, guys,

680
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: My family, my family would who's blue? Oh ho ho?

681
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: Talk words? All right, guys. Listening to Chuck talk about

682
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 1: his experience at Carnegie Hall made me want to share

683
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 1: this story. I heard a story one day about a

684
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: new musical based on a book Wicked, and I know

685
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: we all know this musical now about the Wizard of

686
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: oz Um. I had a soundtrack for about a year

687
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: before I saw it, and I found out there was

688
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: a Broadway Across America tour coming to Columbis, Ohio. My

689
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: husband and I bought tickets, went with a group of friends.

690
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: I have been listening to the soundtrack for about a year.

691
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: As I said, so I was really excited. So I'm

692
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: watching the show, really enjoying it, getting swept up in

693
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 1: the stage production and the acting. The music was better

694
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: than I even thought it could be. And when they

695
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: hit the main song, Defying Gravity, sung by Adina Menzel

696
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 1: on the soundtrack, that's when had happened. I had a

697
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: chuck moment, broke down, sobbing like a little baby. If

698
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 1: I call it, I love it. I mean, I'm sensitive,

699
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: but that's a pretty hilarious. I'm all right, I'm leaping. Uh.

700
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: The song itself is incredibly moving overall. There's a point

701
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: in the middle where there's a break from the action.

702
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 1: Before she hits the third verse, she says a few lines,

703
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 1: turns the last line into this incredibly cathartic note, and

704
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,760
Speaker 1: takes off in flight. Sitting here, remember it, I'm actually

705
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: choking up. Uh. And that's where I could no longer

706
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:26,280
Speaker 1: control myself all through the third verse, sobbing, uncontrollably loud,

707
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: gasping sobs. Both my husband and my brother in law

708
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 1: offered me comfort, but I could not control myself. I

709
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,399
Speaker 1: cried at the end of the song and the house

710
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 1: lights were coming up for an intermission. Uh. My husband

711
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: gave me a hug, not really knowing why I was

712
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: so moved, and I still can't say why. I was

713
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: a mess and incredibly embarrassed. But it was a beautiful

714
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 1: moment for this touching character speaks to me. PS, and

715
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: that's from Angela and Columbus. PS. I feel a sense

716
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: of strengthen. Catharsis also currently while listening to Shake it

717
00:40:55,680 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: Out by Lawence in the machine. Huh. Well those scific email. Yeah,
