Monty, a giant schnauzer, was anticipated to win the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, demonstrating poise as the top-ranked dog. While he made a strong impression during his victory lap at Madison Square Garden, other notable participants included a golden retriever and a Skye terrier, who showcased impressive qualities. The event upheld the tradition of judging dogs individually against their breed standards, ensuring that each of the seven group winners stood out for their unique traits and accomplishments, further enriching the competition's legacy.
Only one dog gets to leave the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show with a silver bowl and a comically large purple-and-yellow ribbon, and it seemed pretty clear as the judging unfolded on Tuesday night that best in show would be bestowed upon Monty, a giant schnauzer.
That the field of dogs around him was so accomplished, and so stunning, only made his victory lap more impressive.
As always, the dogs were not judged against one another, per se, but were considered for how closely they adhered to their own breed's standards.
The Skye terrier seemed to hydroplane across the judging ring with ease on his way to winning the terrier group.
