Labrador Retrievers get no respect.
Ok, so I'm a little biased. But REALLY - look at the facts (as pointed out in the article linked to above). 1) A Labrador has NEVER won best in show. 2) A Labrador has NEVER won the sporting group. 3) The year the Labrador was introduced as a breed at Westminster (1923), the "best in show" title wasn't even awarded. Pshaw!The article goes on to explain that the purpose of the show is to expose the public to new or lesser-known breeds but why, oh why, can't the country's most beloved best friend win just once? It's a fact; according to the American Kennel Club, the lab has been the most popular breed in the nation for 18 straight years. They arguably make the best helping dogs, the best hunters, and the best family dogs - all while displaying amazing loyalty and patience (especially with kids) with a happy-to-a-fault demeanor. Seriously how can you say no to this face?
Seriously...the Sussex Spaniel ain't got nothin' on Luther (or any other lab for that matter).
Ok, time for me to get off my ranting soap-box. Don't get me wrong, I'm a lover of almost any dog out there but enough is enough. Let's get over the snooty foo-foo designer breeds and see a REAL dog get a chance at the spotlight. The end.

Did you see the Sussex Spaniel walk though? Seriously the cutest dog walk ever! I have a very special place in my heart for spaniels, because we had a springer when I was growing up. It is crazy that a lab has never one though...
Becky, All I can add to your blog is:
AMEN!
