2,500 dogs from 210 different breeds and varieties will be vying for the best in show trophy at the 147th annual Westminster Kennel Club dog show.
HOW DOES THE COMPETITION WORK?
The standard is derived from the breed’s original function and may speak to anything from teeth to tail to temperament. For example, a hound developed to hunt in rough terrain might be required to have thick paw pads. A herding dog might need proportions that allow for quick, tight turns. Many breeds have yet to triumph, including such popular ones as the Labrador retriever. But winless breeds should never say never: A bloodhound took best in show for the first time just last year.
A bloodhound named "Trumpet" took home "Best in Show" at the Westminster Dog Show, the first of his breed to take top honors. Gaby Acevedo reports.While Westminster has said there a few mixed-breed entrants in early shows, the best in show prize wasn't awarded until 1907 and has gone only to purebreds. The pedigreed set also has won all the agility and obedience trials to date, but there's a special prize every year for the top mix .
