wire fox terrier

Sky's the Limit

sky_westminsterWhat a champ! Sky (pictured above), won "Best in Show" at the 138th Westminster Kennel Club Tuesday evening. Sky is a wire fox terrier, a breed that was developed in the British Isles in the 17th century to chase fox and small game. Although I tend to prefer a D-O-G, that is, a larger sized dog with some physical presence (i.e. a lab, retriever, etc.), I find Sky to be charming. I cringe every time I see a handsome lad in my neighborhood walking some measly little dog knowing his wife or girlfriend encouraged him to walk the thing. Definitely a turn-off.

Be sure to watch Sky in all his glory, here.
