NEW YORK – Sadie the Scottie was fully expected to reach the purple podium at America's top dog show. She did, after two intruders turned the center ring at Westminster into their own platform.
The heavily favored Scottish terrier won best in show Tuesday night and seemed to be an easy choice. Her team waited quite a while for this victory — it took a little longer, too, because of a startling protest inspired by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
Shortly before judge Elliott Weiss picked Sadie, a pair of well-dressed women walked into the big ring at Madison Square Garden and held signs over their heads that said "Mutts Rule" and "Breeders Kill Shelter Dogs' Chances," the latter a slogan popularized by PETA.
The crowd of 15,000 gasped at the sudden protest, booed the women and then cheered as a half-dozen security guards ushered them away without incident.
PETA members Dana Sylvester and Hope Round were charged with criminal trespass, police said. They acted on their own, the organization said, but it supported them.
The interruption lasted about a minute and came between judging of a Doberman pinscher and brittany. Moments later, 4-year-old Sadie climbed the best in show podium where one of the women had stood.
"I thought it was well-controlled by our people," Westminster spokesman David Frei said, without elaborating. Frei, the host of USA Network's coverage, is a veteran of the show world and a longtime advocate of therapy and rescue dogs.
Here's the thing, these dogs are meant to preform. These are not house pets, these are well-groomed, well-trained, hard-working athletes!
Mutts are the house pets, but these are pure breeds! They are meant to preform and work for a living, some are show dogs, some are working dogs, pure breeds are basically the standards of show and work. Even out in the military and police they use pure breeds. Why? They preform the best!
I swear, PETA gets more ridiculous each time I hear about them.
Lots of people love mutts, wanna know why? They are cheaper than pure breeds.
If you wanna argue that the pure's take away from the mutts, this is true because mutts have a weird temperament. Since they are of mixed breeding, the parents have two different sets of personalities meaning the offspring will be a little unpredictable.
However, if one knows what breed the mutt has then the temperament is a little easier to predict.
So, **** you PETA! You hypocritical bastards!
It's a pity these poor dogs had to be subjecting to your hypocrisy.

Re: Scottie Sadie wins Westminster after PETA protest
Working class dogs also compete in dog shows *rollseyes*
Honestly, I grew up watching dog shows every Saturday morning - I know what kind of dogs are in there.
The thing is though, not everyone needs a working dog.
Like sheep dogs, collies, German Shepherd, hunting dogs, bird dogs, etc.
Working dogs double as house pets as well. There are typically not performers. There are different types of dogs for different types of people.
Some need working dogs, some need hunting dogs, some need toy dogs, others need pure breeds that can preform and who are athletes.
Some people like mutts.
Different people = Different dogs

PETA wouldn't know anything if Einstein and Hawkins were teaching them.
I mean, The dogs are getting rewarded, aren't they? A dog's life is like a Human's job you listen to get rewarded.
Too think to PETA kills thousadns of animals because they can't support them.
I mean who the fucks go to a dog show to protest. It's like going to a pet show and saying "Pets are wild, not domesticated!" Makes no sense. PETA is like Nation bashing trolls. They have no life. Your actually liek me you know that! If i was 17, lived in houston, Texas and went to your school/college I'd be hitting on you everyday!
We should hiredogs to take a on PETA!
"Open up PETA it's the here to take on you with on mighty mutts!"
Isn't a mutt also the name for a Bad dog. So PETA is basically saying Bad dogs rule?

Too bad I don't live in Houston (it's about 5/6 hours away actually) and I don't go to school or college (I'm homeschooled). But thank you, I'm flattered.

5/6 hours away from Houston I didn't even know that was possible because Texas looks so damn small.

It's the largest out of the 48 combined states.
It's pretty fucking huge actually. Hence the phrase "everything's bigger in Texas".
We are the second biggest state in all of America if you wanna get technical (Alaska is the biggest).
It also takes 13 hours to get from Southeast Texas to the bottom of Alabama.
It would probably take 23 hours to get from El Paso, TX (which is Southwest Texas) to Alabama.
Texas is fucking huge. It may look small in comparison to Canada, but it's actually really huge.

Are you talking on a straight up roadtrip though or a stops along the way. Because it takes 5 hours to drive from Sudbury to Toronto. That's like east to west of Central Texas! Damn looks like I underestimated Texas.
Re: Scottie Sadie wins Westminster after PETA protest
If you take bathroom breaks, that adds only a few more minutes. Usually 10 or 20.
Depends on who's driving.
Without breaks, it's what I said earlier.
