@@LazyLoonLazarusthe "American Akita" is called the Akita in AKC. No reason to edit to call it the incorrect thing. There aren't many Chinooks showing, at least in this area. None were entered in this show, unfortunately.
That Doberman is absolutely stunning! And that graceful and athletic gait is a pleasure to watch. Having been blessed to be loved by three of them, I write this with tears in my eyes. RIP to Penny, Dixie, and Apollo.
Oh! I read your comment, brought tears to my eyes - then saw your @busybee4436 and lost it 😢. I had a Boston Terrier, Belize, her nickname was Busybee, I lost her 9/1. I’m still blindsided by little things. And Doberman’s are wonderful! I grew up with one, her name was Phoenix. Take care my friend! 😊
i am biased, but Rottweilers will always be my absolute favorite. this is my favorite group though, all so dang adorable and have grown up around so many of them. i would love if they updated and allowed Rotties their tails in the modern age though.
Actually, no. To see livestock guardian breeds with their coats groomed and cut into the most unnatural, unrealistic, and embarrassing ways to appeal to a judge or an audience visually wants is ludicrous! It is both unhealthy and insulting for a double coated working dog to have their coat cut purely for cosmetic reasons. This practice also misrepresents what these breeds are supposed to look like, what they look like in real life and on the job. I've had people tell me that my pyrenees is 'too big' because she is a real pyrenees and does not fit into the AKA 'breed standards' which are based on show dogs who are vastly smaller and more delicate than real working dogs. It's very disheartening. It was nice to see the short haired dogs here, like the Doberman, who's hair really can't be manipulated so much, look exactly like a Doberman should. All the dogs with 'hairstyles' were goofy and silly, other than the giant schnauzer who won, who's haircut was only bearable because it was well done and because his excellent conformation stood out more than the hair cut. If a dog show is supposed to be a true representation of a breed, nobody would be messing with their hair. Especially in working dogs. But dog shows are not really about the actual breeds. They are simply about a fantasy world like modeling and fashion shows and such. Entertainment for people. It doesn't really matter who wins. Nobody cares outside of show folks themselves. Certainly the dogs don't care who wins. They would just like to go outside and roll in some dirt to get all that junk off of their hair.
@@SouthernlyDifferent handler as well. Dave Musto shows Watson, and Gambino's handler is Ryan Platt. Both tall guys though, I can see where they can look similar if you don't know both of them. ❤
He did not look great. What an embarrassing 'hairstyle'. That is not what they naturally look like. It should be a crime to make such a magnificent animal look like a cartoon.
It is part of the standards for some of the breeds because when they (not the show dogs here) are working, doing the jobs they were meant to do, there is less chance of them getting torn off when fighting off lions and tigers and bears and wolves.
@@MiTmite9 Hey, don't shoot the messenger. I offered to explanation, no more, no less. Tell the AKC, not me. I don't set the standards for each breed nor do I support docking and cropping.
The massive Russian black dog was BEAUTIFUL! I’ve never heard of that breed… nor the giant schnauzer. Wow, although hubby and I are cat people, you have to admire these creatures and their majestic appearance! We babysat a St. Bernard one weekend and our walls were all snot but she was pretty great !!! Sad to see Abby go back to her owner. Merry Christmas everyone 🎄☃️
@@erinsparkman6399 very pyr!!. Although I didn't think this particular dog was a very good representation of the actual breed in terms of how it looked and the way it was groomed. I'm just amazed that any pyr would allow such a fluffy groom and then willingly follow a person to stand in that lineup for that long and not actually lay down and have a nap. He should have won just because he was there!
@@Gatita-Oso I would have liked to have seen an Akbash as well. They are remarkably like the Great Pyrenees in most ways, including work, so I would love to see those two standing side by side. The problem is, these are show dogs. Which means they look nothing like the real dogs, or show a true representation of their breeds unfortunately.
That's not how dogs shows work bud. All these dogs are great dogs to have. All of them look awesome, although a couple of them were poor examples of the real breeds, like the pyrenees here didn't even look like a real pyrenees and that goofy hair cut on the beautiful Newfoundlander was embarrassing. But judges don't choose winners because they "are all around great dogs to have".
@@GatehseMstfyes, but often knowing how to spell the name of the breed helps to make note to do further research. This was my introduction to Kuvaz breed. And I wasn’t sure how to spell it, but I read a comment.
@@klee88029 please : dogue de Bordeaux ! Bordeaux is the capital of the wine region in France. Those dogs used to guard the vineyards. But yes, the presenter should make an effort and learn how to pronounce the names !
My favorite, too, in this competition. I don't think they make great pets (always wanting to run off; needing tons of exercise), but the Husky really looked like a champion to me.
Which dog was group 3 winner? I replayed five times, I put on captioning ----- couldn't understand what judge said and can't find info online. Help. Thanks. I will check back for reply.
Imo this class of dogs are the best ever! Working dogs are truly misunderstood. Sadly many become house pets w/no purpose but to protect and have gained a bad rap. I think its harder to get a wrkn dog breed bc most humans don't understand their desire and drive to work. I'm so thankful for my mutt, he's introduced me to the boxer breed. We had a Bernese and she was amazing. Nvr had a better dog than n her until now. Loved my husky but it had ZERO protection ability. I see a lot of comments, about dobies and wldnt mind trying to rescue one as my next service dog. I too wish one of these beauties cld win best in show. Beautiful dogs in this group.
I love dog shows they’re just so awesome to see world class dogs all together. My only pet peeve is they give them too many treats. I think the dog at this level should be able to perform without the treats until the end… my dogs can do all these tricks without any treats at all. They can prance and roll over and sit and dance and shake and do all sorts of dog tricks just for the fun of it..

How come German shepherd isn’t on this category?
18:13 The samoyed is absolutely GORGEOUS
The malamute barking at the crowd when they woudnt stop cheering him on was hilarious😂
Loved that Malamute! Glad he placed.
Can't help but talk back! 😆

Oat ou isst is the house 🏠 and then I will be is.kaos
He had the best gait of all of them.
Some of the sweetest dogs I've known were Dobermans.
I haven't even finished the video yet but I'm in awe at the judge in the gold dress and bob, she is SERVING - so glamorous!!
I agree. Wish we as ladies had the opportunity to dress up more often. She looked amazing.
I thought the same.
Iconic!
I hope all these dogs know they are very good dogs
😭😍👍
🤣👍
Not only goodest, best of their breed.
Giant and standard schnauzers are gorgeous. I do like the black russian is also stunning. This entire group has stunning dogs.
The dogs probably think the crowd is a mass of howling wolves😂
HAHAHA!
I like the way some of the handlers are smooching their dogs, but I hate the fact that they're still cropping the ears of some of these breeds.
I agreed. Cropping ears and docking tails are so unnecessary.
Terrible that they crop, I agree.
all are INCREDIBLE examples of their breed and it would have been extremely difficult to choose, but I can see why the Giant won, magnificent
i am biased, but Rottweilers will always be my absolute favorite. this is my favorite group though, all so dang adorable and have grown up around so many of them.
i would love if they updated and allowed Rotties their tails in the modern age though.
I’m sorry but I cannot say which dog I think is the cutest. They all have my heart ❤❤❤❤
I would hate to have to pick. There are some beautiful dogs in this group

The Great Dane was my favorite! I guess that's because I own one. lol😊
Just love them all. Just beautiful big top dog breeds.
Love the Malamute.
Man, look at these dogs. The finest representation of their respective breeds. Doberman Pinscher, Samoyed and the Akita are my favorite. So beautiful.
Love That Dane! Big Group!
The one who handled that Dane is my dog trainer!
Why does he look so scared?
@@chancellorismHe doesn’t look scared to me probably a bit nervous if anything
I love dog shows All so beautiful ❤️
Love the Bernese, the Giant schnauzer, but all of them …wonderful

Mountain dog❤
The Swiss Mountain Dog is adorable ❤
That doberman is so healthy ❤
A true working dog today.
The Boxer should've at least placed, if not won. They're one of the best looking, and just all around great dogs to have.

i finally found the dobie! i tuned in a few minutes late and missed him on tv.
Akita and Komandor❤
Best judge of the whole show!!! Love how she congratulated each one!!!
Sure would be nice if the network had captioned the names of the dog breeds. I'm familiar with most dog breeds... Many viewers are not.
The announcer names each breed and tells a little something about them during each dog's individual exam.

Kivas. Beautiful
Stop cropping! Just do not let them be shown
I love Dobermans. They are the best.
These dogs 🐩 Rock ❤
Dogo ArgentinA!! Very professional
I don’t like how tight they make the collars so tight
it is the classic way to make the dogs hold their heads up, only for the show. They will recover !!!
So sad the Central Asian Shepherd isn’t shown. Majestic and loyal beasts of a dog and a good representation of the working breed.
Bullmastiff ❤❤❤❤
I liked the Portuguese Water Dog and the Kuvasz best of the finalists.
Happy st.Bernard
❤I know, it's just like them to investigate any object on the ground, the disk mark.
Love working dogs
The Neo Mastiff is SO cute 🥰
Newfie! ❤
Komondor ❤❤❤
The Akita!!! ❤
Gorgeous ❤
Love the audience reaction to the Neapolitan Mastiff. These dogs are hard to come by. Very few available.
Great Dane ❤
What is the other white dog behind the Great Pyr and before the Komondor? It's at 3:37.

This is so weird to me as someone that never seen a dog show before.
Akitas are awesome in appearance.
Cool showing. 🌷👍But don’t appreciate the crappy advertising for horror movie 🤨
Black Russian Terrier is my favorite Mexican cocktail.
Aren’t Kangals or Anatolian shepherds included in the Working group? Or are they not recognized by the AKC currently?
Why can’t a big dog win..best in show, etc..always little dogs.
😨 You said the winner I didn't finished yet . Spoiler comment 💔
Im in HEAVEN
And the Argentina Doggo
They always line up that waterdog. Sorry but it's such a weird breed, with that bold piece.

Where is this show?
Oaks, PA. Near Philadelphia
That carpet is so pretty
Why doesn’t the Maremma compete when the Great Pyrenees and the Kuvas do?
I wish there was an Irish Wolfhound 🥲 I loved the Doberman, Black Russian Terrier, Giant Schnauzer, Scooby Doo, alllllllll the big dogos!!!!!!!!!
