Here's a a video of the group winners from Monday night. And here's an AP story recapping the first day's festivities.

The groups judged Monday were hound, toy, non-sporting and herding (winners below).

Winners from three more groupings -- sporting, working and terrier -- will join them tonight in the highly-anticipated Best in Show ring. In the end, it will come down to seven very different breeds of dogs competing to see which dog best meets its own breed standard.

Terriers tend to win these shows a lot, so keep your eye on them. And you can be sure that whoever wins that honor will then be making the morning TV show rounds for the rest of the week.


Winners from last night:

Hound: Scottish Deerhound (GCH Foxcliffe Hickory Wind)
Toy: Pekingese (GCH Palacegarden Malacy)
Non-Sporting: Chinese Shar-Pei (GCH Vaje's Miss Jayne Hathaway)
Herding: Bearded Collie (GCH Tolkien Raintree Mister Baggins)


Photos of the winning breeds (though not the specific winning dogs) that will compete with tonight's still-to-be-selected three additional group winners in the final Best in Show event (USA, 8-11 p.m. tonight):

About the Bloggers

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
