I thought it was okay. Alot of the owners...are...weird. But that's okay, I suppose.

I'm pulling for the guy with the Boxer.

I felt bad for the Boston, too. It seemed like it had a lot of potential, but the owner just didn't take thigns too seriously at times. Granted it was a Boston so it has a mind of its own, but still.

Is she going to be another Simon Cowel?
Probably. She did make good points, but her approach was a bit stern. But that is what sells for TV judges, apparently. It always seems like out of a panel of three, one is always the "making good points but making them cry" type.

I thought it interesting that she nit picked at that Border Collie barking. If it was barking at its owner while not following commands that is one thing, but barking out of excitement...I don't know if I would have yelled at that. Now, if they ever have a competitive obedience challenge the dog will be in trouble, but it seems more like an agility dog to me...bark while having the time of your life!
I don't like it when Chloe barks during some obedience routines, but when she does it because she's having fun I don't care (but then again, she will also shut up when told and if she doesn't all fun stops).

I wonder if the dog/owner teams who will get down to the finals will have the breeds that are the "smart, obedient" type. Would be interesting to see, anyways.
