Monty Makes History at Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show
Monty, divovski šnaucer, made history by winning Best in Show at the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club dog show, becoming the first of his breed to do so. The event, now in its 149th year, is the second-longest sporting event in the US after the Kentucky Derby. After two years of winning the Working Group but falling short in the finals, Monty finally emerged victorious.
Judge Paula Nykiel, a dog breeder and owner-handler, chose Monty as Best in Show, considering his performance in the preliminary events and adherence to the breed’s ideal standard. Among the 2,500 canines Monty bested was Bourbon, a nine-year-old whippet who claimed Reserve Best for the third time. Other finalists included Comet the shih tzu, Mercedes the German shepherd, and Neal the bichon frise.
The win was a significant moment for the Working Group of breeds, marking the first victory since 2004. The victory was a culmination of years of dedication and hard work by Monty’s owner, Katie Bernardin, who expressed pride in her puppy’s achievement.
