First-Time Westminster Dog Show Best in Show Winner Pictures

Last year's Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show winner Hickory was the first of her breed, the Scottish deerhound, to win the coveted best in show prize. She's among quite a number of first-timers in the show's 105-year history who will (hopefully!) pave the way for more of their kind. We think that every breed deserves a prize for being cute and unique and we envy the group of judges who ultimately Read more

Viewers' Choice: Westminster Redo?

As dog lovers but not necessarily dog experts, we tend to root for breeds we like, canines we've seen, or just those pups that are looking extra cute. It's like cheering for the home team pup at your house. For me, it was all about this Frenchie, since he's a Non-Sporting type and a smooshy like North. Who did you really want to win?

Viewers' Choice: Westminster Redo?

As dog lovers but not necessarily dog experts, we tend to root for breeds we like, dogs we've seen, or just those pups that are looking extra cute. Many times, I can be disappointed when a dog I think is super-adorable doesn't win – I'm not exactly up on each breed's ideal, after all. Check out the clip of the final seven – including the Scottie's "accident" – who did you really want to Read more

Stump Gets Brunch at Charlie Palmer's Metrazur Restaurant to Celebrate Best in Show at Westminster

Stump would like the steak please. Oops, you lost a bit there, buddy.

Stump the Sussex Spaniel wins the 133rd Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in 2009

Last night this pup made all kinds of history being the first Sussex Spaniel and the oldest dog ever to win Westminster. I think Stump's rather stumptastic and my favorite thing about this pup is hands down (paws up) this trick. Doesn't he look like he's pretending to be a stump posing like that?! As cute as the pup was in the show ring at MSG, his life hasn't been easy. Although he won the Read more

Have You Ever Spotted a Rubber Collar?!

We've seen collars made out of semiprecious and even precious stones, in addition to the more traditional fabric and leather. However, have you ever spotted a rubber collar? I certainly hadn't until I peeped these at Best in Show. Rubber collars are created from a special blend of polymers that won’t absorb moisture, retain dirt, or harbor bacteria found in your favorite play areas! So if your Read more
