(Oakley the Amazing Weimaraner is going to miss his traveling dad)

Some folks heart Huckabees -- and I heart Weimaraners, particularly Oakley the Amazing Weimaraner and his kid sis Annie.

I just had an alert from a tuned in TWN reader who shot me the news that a Weimaraner has won "Best in Sporting Group" at the prestigious, top tier Westminster Kennel Club 132nd Annual Dog Show. (OK - have to fess up to a mistake here. . .I had misinterpreted the note that I got that a Weimaraner won "best in show" -- but actually, the Weimy won best in sporting group -- and the final on "best in show" is not yet known.)

Congrats to one of Oakley's and Annie's cousins, the now quite famous Weimy "Marge."

The results are not yet posted on the Westminster site -- but here is a clip where you can watch the competition among just the Weimaraners.

Oakley must be proud--or maybe Oakley doesn't like to be pegged on his Wieimaraner demographics, and he supports dogs outside his breed!

Actually her name is "Marge" and she is very cute

Weimaraners are great dogs. But the Beagle got a standing ovation and best of show.

I liked the Redbone that won a few years ago. My neighbor had one, but sadly lost it after it got a snoutfull of porcupine.

Steve,

It looks like in the battle of the bloggers -- with you supporting the Weimaraners, and Andrew Sullivan pulling for the beagles -- there was a narrow victory for today at least.
