It's that time again — puppy time! To narrow down the adoro faces and breed choices, all the pooches seen here are from the working group. If you think you're a pro with these types, then test yourself and see if you can call out the cute.
2010 Westminster Winners: Working Group
All work and no play?
All work and no play? (OK, maybe some play.) The Working Group contains dogs of all duties. I spy one smooshy and a first dog impostor, too. Did either of those two top off the group?

2009 Westminster Winners: Working Group
Typically powerful and intelligent, the working pups truly have jobs to do.
Typically powerful and intelligent, the working pups truly have jobs to do. From police and guard assistance to amazing rescues, these "gentle giants" are big favorites getting big results. In the top four this year, you may not recognize that breed on the bottom right. That's a Tibetan Mastiff, first shown at last year's Westminster, and already placing in his group. Kudos!
Sadly neither he nor the newest breed this year won the group. Learn who did when you read more

Rounding up the groups competing at Crufts this year, this Samoyed Vandreem Imperial Hermioni by Berezniki won the Pastoral group. Caraway Celebrate Life, the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, won the Terrier group while a Giant Schnauzer, Jafrak Philippe Olivier, captured the Working group title. Finally it was, "Max," the Beagle (officially called Dialynne Maximus) coming out atop the Hound group. Wow, we saw some beautiful pups this year, did you have a fave from these groups, or the ones we saw last week?
2008 Westminster Winners: Working Group
Powerful and intelligent, the Working group contains many of the biggest – and strongest – breeds around.
Powerful and intelligent, the Working group contains many of the biggest – and strongest – breeds around. From pulling sleds to serving in the military, these working pups wear many hats. Also in this group is the fourth newly-accepted breed showing for the first time at the 132nd dog show – the Tibetan Mastiff. Even though he got big cheers from the crowd, and was pulled out for the short list, he sadly didn't make it to the final four. But, hey, it was his first year competing at Westminster so I'm thinking he's definitely a breed to watch! See who won the group when you read more
