Hickory, a Scottish deerhound from a 50-acre farm in Virginia, took top honors at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show on Tuesday night. Reliable Source columnists Amy Argetsinger and Roxanne Roberts dished with readers Wednesday.
Q: So, whatcha got on Hickory, the Scottish deerhound from Warrenton that won Best in Show at the Westminster? Relationships? Interests? Where does she hang out? We've just got to know this stuff!
Argetsinger: Noble beast, that Hickory.
Q: Shouldn't the dog that wins Westminster be cute? Or even mildly attractive? That Scottish deerhound looks a bit like Groundskeeper Willie [of "The Simpsons"].
Roberts: I thought she was elegant.
Q: At least it's a real dog and not some little toy something or other that gets carried around in a bag or carrier.
Little and cute just means it's a Scooby Snack for real working dogs like mine. We are having lunch right now, and then it's back to my 300 ewes and their approximately 600 lambs.
My collies have lots of work to do before sundown. No foo-foo dog can move moms and their kids. Moms gets feisty, and it takes a smart dog to get everyone to cooperate.
Roberts: Foo-foo dogs have their place in the world, just like foo-foo people. But it was nice to see a hound win.
