Beagle WINS!"
Can't you hear it from the great Sky Box in the air... Harray Canary yelling! JBeagles braying: Once it starts this roof top caucaphony could raise the bones of Moses. http://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-204816.htmlAll Beagles can howl with a winning spirit; even you Stevenator. They, as a breed, won some serious national sweepstakes for best puppy, or something uniquely under-doggishly makes good story. See story below. MooPig would like to say from one freaky show animal to another: "Way to go Beagles!"
"We at MooPig usual track large big dumb animals, rather than pets... but any champion raises the animal farm chatter, it is exciting for us. That's one for you, Rufus McUno, in a million-to-uno odds," exclaims MP. "We are very proud of you!"

"Rufus [retired 2006 winner at Westmnleaned in for a better look at the other dogs. Suddenly, the colored bull terrier with the football-sized noggin pitched forward, falling off his tabletop and tumbling to the ground.
The popular Westminster winner was OK, with only a scuffed-up paw to show from his 3½-foot slip over the weekend. Barking, he was soon sipping water from a champagne glass across the street from Madison Square Garden, promoting America's No. 1 dog show... Starting Monday morning, another 2,627 dogs will try to follow Rufus' path to the prize silver bowl."

"...Uno, almost 3 with pleading eyes and plenty of tail-wagging personality, could break out of the Westminster doghouse. He might follow the lead of Underdog, the Disney movie last year based on the old cartoon - no beagle has even reached the seven-dog best in show ring since 1939. "To have the general public see an average dog going and competing and actually winning would send a signal that everyone can do it," said Eddie Dziuk, one of Uno's co-owners."

The only dog consistently listed among America's most popular breeds for nearly 100 years, a beagle had never won in the 100 times Westminster picked a winner. That changed when judge J.
