The Great Ones – Percy Roberts
Until 1998 when Peter Green won his fourth Best In Show at Westminster, Percy Roberts held the record for most Best In Show wins there. Roberts’ first big win at the Garden came in 1926 with the Wire Fox Terrier Ch. Signal Circuit of Halleston, followed by the Sealyham Terrier bitch Ch. Pinegrade Perfection, owned by Frederic Brown of New York, in 1927. His next two Bests at the Garden were with Wires, in 1934 with Ch. Flornell Spicy Bit of Halleston and in 1937 with Ch. Flornell Spicypiece of Halleston.

The Big E – Excitement + Expectations
The timing may be a bit off, but the frenzy that surrounds Westminster is right on schedule. What are the COVID rules and regulations? Which hotels will allow dogs? Will there be a place close by to change clothes if they get sweaty or dirty or, more importantly, for the group (please, please, please)? Is there a set-up to wash and groom the dogs at the show grounds? How do we get onto the site itself? On and on it goes, questions which require an answer–an accurate one.
Momentum, Human Nature, and the Bandwagon Effect
A newly released book, Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment, by Nobel winning author Daniel Kahneman, is a terrific read that speaks to human judgement inconsistencies that are impacted by what the author calls “noise.” He isn’t talking about audio noise.
