A giant schnauzer named Monti was crowned for the best in the show of the Westminster Kennel Club dog show on Tuesday, the prestigious dog for dogs in the US.
After reaching the last three years in a row, Monti won more than 2500 dogs to become the first giant schnauzer to take the biggest prize on the show.
“The puppy did the damn thing,” said Monty Katie Bernardin owner in the event aired by Madison Square Garden in New York.
The Dog Club is the oldest in the United States dedicated to showing dogs with its annual show -now at the age of 149 -the second longest sporting event held in the United States after the Kentucky derby.
The winners of each of the 200 competing breeds are advocated to compete for one of the seven group titles, with each winner in the group then moving to the finals.
After two years of winning the working group, but failed to secure the overall prize, the five-year-old man with an all-black coat finally went to the top.
He gave the Working Group of breeds since 2004.
Judge Paula Nikiel, who is a breeder of dogs and owner, chose Monty as the best in the show after standing out in the preliminary events during the three-day race.
When choosing a winner, the judges also look at the ideal standard of the breed and examine his body and mouth.
Among more than 2500 Monti's lives from all over the country, was a nine-year-old Bourbon, who clicked a runner-up-or booked best, as they are known in the show.
Whippet came out of retirement for the event and requested the best reserved for the third time.
Other finalists this year included the comet Shich Tzu, the Mercedes German Shepherd and Neil Bihon Fries.
In 2024, a female miniature poodle won the best in the show.
