@ossobuco,
Quote:They are Westminister dog show dogs, Vonny.. It was in Pennsylvania, I think.
You're right, Osso - I didn't read the article properly, thought it referred to Westminster in London!
@vonny,
I was wrong too - the Westminister show was in New York, the photography done in Pennsylvania (I say without finding links).
@tsarstepan,
Something very nightmarish about that one!
But love this little fellow -

This time I found out that the Shih Tzu is more closely related to the wolf than any other dog breed.
Maybe you should check out this link, firefly.

It is commonly said that dogs descended directly from wolves.
"The new results, published today (Jan. 16) in the journal PLOS Genetics, reveal that dogs do not hail from the same lineage as modern wolves — a big surprise, said Novembre, who was hoping to see evidence for either a single domestication or multiple domestication events, where, for example, the Australian dingo would be most related to the Asian wolf and the African basenji would be most related to the Middle Eastern wolf.
Instead, the dogs are all most closely related to each other. The pattern suggests that dogs arose from a now-extinct line of wolves, Novembre said. Later, early in domesticated doggie history, they interbred with still-wild wolves, causing a genetic snarl that frustrates dog genetics researchers to this day.
@Region Philbis,
I purport to not like dogs in costume in photos, but - love this one.
@tsarstepan,
Finally, another being that likes broccoli..
I've been wandering around looking at Cartier Bresson images - here's one with dogs, taken in Japan in 1965 :
