Boujee, the top-ranked golden retriever at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, faces overwhelming competition with little chance of winning the prestigious best in show title, which has eluded goldens for 117 years. Despite their popularity in the U.S., goldens, like Labrador retrievers and French bulldogs, have never secured a win at Westminster. Experts express confusion over the judging criteria, as even the top golden dog ranks 77th overall, highlighting the challenge for this beloved breed in a highly competitive field.
"Although Boujee spent 2024 making friends and winning shows, she has little chance of beating the other 2,500 entrants vying for Westminster's coveted best in show award."
"In the 117 years that the award has been given, golden retrievers have won exactly zero times. This might seem unfair, given that goldens are, along with Labrador retrievers and French bulldogs, consistently the most popular dogs in the United States."
"Boujee is the top-ranked dog of her breed in the show but is ranked 77th overall by the American Kennel Club. Apparently not."
"The logic of these things is mysterious, even to dog experts. I did not answer your question, because I'm not sure I or any one else can, said Barbara Pepper."
