The as-yet-to-be-determined finalists will be judged against a bloodhound named Trumpet, a French Bulldog to whom Winston, a stylish Maltese named Hollywood and River, is a German Shepherd.
His handler and owner, Heather Helmer, said the dog horn won the hound category, showing off his foldable face and floppy ears while outperforming other hounds, absorbing spotlights and cheering. Fox Sports Immediately after his victory.
The non-sporting group may be one of the oldest classes in dog show history, but there’s nothing big about Winston, the bulldog who made his way to defeat 20 other non-sporting dogs for the top spot. Winston’s gentle steps across the floor to show his standing were met with enthusiastic cheers from spectators and even more so when he was named the winner.
Superiority in the competition is no stranger to Winston, whose Los Angeles Chargers defensive line Morgan Fox is among its owners.
“If this is how my parents felt while watching my games all these years, then I apologise,” he said chirp while watching the show.
Perry Payson, his therapist and co-owner, said his “big bat ears,” round eyes and good genes make him exceptional in his class. Fox Sports Moments after victory.
Maltese Hollywood has also shown how perfection looks on a toy dog. Her well-groomed white hair was trailing behind her like the paparazzi as she walked along the green stage to be judged.
“She has a beautiful hair texture,” her therapist, Tim Lyman, He said. “I think it’s a great representation of what a Maltese must have looked like.”
Lyman said Hollywood loves being in the ring and out of competition.
The German Shepherd seems to have floated to number one in the herding category, leaving about two dozen other dogs licking their wounds in defeat.
When his handler, Lenny R. Brown, was asked what separates River from other top-notch dogs in his class, the answer was simple: “standard.”
Live coverage of the event can be broadcast on Westminster Kennel Club website 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. EST.
