Rumor Has It!



I was crushed when Rumor came in second last year at the Westminster Dog Show and then retired.

A German Shepherd Won The Westminster Dog Show For Only The Second Time In 141 Years

This year she made quite the comeback. Good for you, beautiful girl.

  1. She just has that star quality that all champions have.

  3. Jan: Yes, she does. I have to take about 47 pictures to get my dog to even look at look at the camera much less give that adorable head tilt. I also saw clips of how Mia, the Beagle, became very popular with the crowds thanks to her antics during the agility test. So cute.

  4. Messymimi: Rumor is a beautiful dog. We love German Shepherds. Here's our Elke and our Dax . They're not dog show material, but are prize winners in our eyes.

  6. Sandee: Yes, she is a beauty. I love the German Shepherd breed, but I don't like what they've done with it.

  7. I didn't know GSDs followed commands :) Rumor kinda looks like our Koda (center), except for the missing tooth, tattered right ear and bloodshot eyes. Koda is more of a scrapper.

  8. Kid: I love the breed, but the hip dysplasia is a horrible thing to witness. I tell my husband that our next dog should be a mutt. He's not in agreement.

  9. DaBlade: They're all beautiful, but I'm partial to Koda.

  11. Mutts are the healthiest compared to pure breds but small dogs are more prone to having spine/spinal chord problems. Our beagle had a piece of hard calcium? buildup break off a disc and get into the spine next to the spinal chord. He is in a wheelchair. Friends have Corgi's and one of those had to have surgery for the same condition but he recovered. I like Labs a lot. Our last we had a long time and no hip problems. But you're likely to outlive them regardless. Never ends well but it's worth it I think.

  12. Kid: I didn't know that much about the dangers of little dogs. I had a Chihuahua about 45 years ago and she didn't live but eight years. Broke my heart when she passed. Big or small, they never live long enough and their passing leaves tracks in our lives that we never forget.

  13. I didn't get to see it this year, just the recap on he news. Saw a beautiful white German Shepard today. Everyone said "ooooh" as they saw him!

  14. Snaggle Tooth: I didn't see it either, but like you said, I just caught the recaps on the news. Had I known it was on, I would've watched. One of the people who comments here has two, count 'em two, white German Shepherds. It's a few comments up and his name is DaBlade. They're beautiful dogs, but I'm prejudiced over the black and tan ones.
