If you're fortunate and buy one of these dogs as a Derby (2-year-old) you might pay 10 to 20 thousand dollars.

With the cold front coming, they're on the move looking to find food before the next snow.

A dog wins here, he or she is probably worth $100,000 (with breeding fees of $750 to $1,000 per litter). But it takes about $100,000 a year to train the dog, feed it and get it to enough competitions to come here.

If I could be half the person my dog is, I'd be twice the human I am.

At least with pets, and for all I know, people too, intelligence and quick-wittedness have nothing to do with a talent for being loved, or being kind, nothing at all, less than nothing.

One trained dog equals 60 search-and-rescue workers.
