Posted in Pets at 12:42 am by pawsandjaws

The Westminster Kennel Club’s 133rd dog show has ended. There were some easily recognizable breeds, such as the Golden Retriever, on show as well as the lesser known breeds such as the Brussels Griffon. The breed winners of the best of group are as follows:

Toy Group: Brussels Griffon

Working Group: Giant Schnauzer

Sporting Group: Sussex Spaniel

Herding Group: Puli

Non Sporting Group:Poodle (Standard)

Terrier Group: Scottish Terrier

Hound Group: Scottish Deerhound.

The winners of each group would then go on to compete for the most prestigious title, Best in Show. The Sussex Spaniel was awarded Best in Show. The Sussex Spaniel was a crowd pleaser, receiving the loudest cheers from the audience during final judging. It was a good night for the Sussex Spaniel being the first Sussex to win Best in Show. We will examine these breeds more closely in future posts.
