If you're watching Westminster on the USA Network tonight (arguably a better vantage point than my nosebleed seats), the buzz is all about the stiff competition in the terrier group. Among the heavy hitters: Coco the Norfolk terrier, who won the terrier group in 2004 and 2005, only to lose steam in the Best in Show ring both years. She emerges from retirement (and recent motherhood) for a last crack at being more than just the bridesmaid.
Giving her some stiff competition will be Rufus, the colored bullterrier who won the group at the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship last month; and Harry, an Australian-imported Dandie Dinmont terrier co-owned by Bill Cosby.
