German Shorthaired Pointer From SoCal Takes Top Honor At Westminster Dog Show

Who do you want to win, HollywoodLifers? And the other thing is that he was light and fluid on his feet.

Last year’s Best In Show trophy was awarded to “Ch Tashtins Looking For Trouble”, also known as “Miss P”, a 15-inch beagle.

Rumor faces top competition from Charlie the Skye terrier, Lucy the borzoi, Annabelle the bulldog and toy victor Panda the shih tzu, the AP reports. They never entered Melanie in shows, Baez said, but made a decision to try with Scarlett and Humphrey. “One, he fits the standard”. The pudgy, flat-faced dog from Raleigh, North California, was panting by the end of Monday’s competition but usually keeps her cool, said owner Jean Hetherington.

Baez said she was happy her two dogs achieved such high honors, but the victory was even sweeter because having the top male and top female in the Dogue de Bordeaux ring was a bit of an upset.

A German shepherd from Wisconsin is expected to be one of the favorites when judges selects the Westminster Kennel Club’s best in show Tuesday night.

As for Max, around 1 1⁄2 years old, being a champion show dog is just part of his world, Schuster, 58, a semiretired chiropractor, said.

Meen saw in CJ the embodiment of the pointer’s core mission of hunting.

Nunes-Atkinson became the first owner, breeder and handler to win Westminster since 1983.

Michelle Scott is among the very best; she’s twice won best in show at Westminster.

“He knows what he’s supposed to do”.

“What’s most important is that she’s enjoying herself”, he said.

Added Meen, “He’s an outstanding example of the breed, an outstanding example in the ring tonight”.

It’s a far cry from what CJ is like at home.

“He really, really liked the environment”, she said. “His best friend is a whippet named Ramona”.

Wesley, a Dandie Dinmont terrier, looks up after winning his breed at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2016 in NY.

Each year, the backstage area at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in Midtown Manhattan gets a little louder, fluffier and the competition, rougher.

And for Nunes-Atkinson, there’s no bigger achievement.
