New York - Wire fox terrier 鈥楽ky鈥 best in show at Westminster
Print Edition
The bloodhound drew the loudest cheers. The Portie came with presidential connections. A little wire fox terrier called Sky stood in their way.
The 5-year-old Sky won best in show at the Westminster Kennel Club on Tuesday night, finishing off a season in which she was ranked America’s No. 1 dog.
Handler Gabriel Rangel scooped up Sky in one arm after she was picked as America’s top dog. He kissed judge Betty Regina Leininger’s hand as the title was awarded inside a nearly full Madison Square Garden.
“Her personality is she loves to kiss people and she connects with everybody,” Rangel said.
This was Sky’s 129th best in show ribbon overall — she became a Triple Crown winner in dogdom, having previously taken the National Dog Show and the AKC Eukanuba event.
And it was the 14th time a wire fox terrier has won at Westminster. No other breed has won more than eight. The winner with the ginger-and-white coat and terrier goatee beat out an impressive lineup. “She has the ‘it’ factor. She owned this night,” Leininger said.
The standard poodle named Ally was runner-up.
