Move Over Westminster Kennel Club – You Have Never Seen a Dog Show as Intense as The Big Apple Gone Rotten Showcase
"LONG HAIR DON'T MAKE IT EXOTIC!"
"WHAT IT MAKES IT THEN!? WHAT IT MAKES IT THEN!? WHAT IT MAKES IT THEN!?"
"SHOW THE PEDIGREE! SHOW THE PEDIGREE! SHOW THE BLOODLINE!"
"I KNOW WHAT I DID! I KNOW WHAT I DID! I KNOW WHAT I DID!
"THAT AIN'T NO BULL! THAT AIN'T NO BULL!"
The side shots got me good. Black Shirt Guy turned his dog sideways and gave a Rick Flair "WOOO!". He knew his dog just snapped. He knew he just yammed all over White Sunglasses and his grown ass bus of a dog. White Sunglasses thought he could call him out for an illegal snout. Yeah right. That shit could RUN and come back. That shit could RUN and come back. That shit could RUN and come back.
If the stuck up dog handlers of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show brought half this energy, I might let it take over the 12pm time slot on the main TV next Thanksgiving. The Big Apple Gone Rotten Showcase has everything Westminster is missing. Endless amounts of trash talk, heavy use of the n-word, a looming sense that the handlers are about to get in a fist fight at any given moment. Westminster should be taking notes.
As a lover of dogs, I can't help but point out there's no way dogs are supposed to be bred that way. They appear to be American Bully's. But American Bully's that are bred to be especially exotic. On one hand they're adorable. On the other hand, most of those dogs look like they're permanently in pain. I know they all have breathing problems. I don't even want to know what their life expectancy is.
My only other complaint with the Big Apple Gone Rotten showcase is that they don't have nearly enough content out there. I'd love to find a video of the competition playing out in real time. Or any video that isn't just a montage of wide-based, low-to-ground dogs played over a DMX track.
But that's what Big Apple Gone Rotten is all about. It'd be foolish of me to expect the videos to come out any other way.
If we can just combine the energy of these New York/New Jersey-ass dog breeders with the standards of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show (which I'm sure has their fair share of ethical dog breeding issues in their own right, but I imagine has a little better regulations than this), then that's something I can get behind. Westminster just needs a little bit of juice. They need a loud, heavily chained MC hyping up the crowd. They need wildly cocky dog breeders announcing themselves like they're the '96 Bulls of dog breeders. They need dog breeders telling other dog breeders that their dogs fucking suck and should just go right now. That's what will take Westminsters family friendly Thanksgiving dog show to the next level. I'd like to see J. Peterman commentate on that.
