I was cheering for the cute little guy in the middle - love those floppy ears!!  He didn’t win, but he came in 2nd - way to go little buddy!

The Beagle!!

It was some tough competition between the final breed groups:

Toy - Miniature Poodle
Herding - Australian Shepherd
Sporting - Weimaraner
Non-Sporting - Standard Poodle 
Working - Akita
Terrier - Sealyham Terrier
Hound - Beagle

But the crowd-favorite Beagle brought it home!  This is the 1st time that the Beagle has ever won Best In Show at Westminster.  Congratulations to all of the amazing dogs who qualified to compete in the Westminster Dog Show!!

Tune in tomorrow for one last installment with some more of our favorite pictures from Westminster.
