Dog Show Results

Dog Show Results, The first day of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is finished and many dogs and their owners have already gotten what they traveled to New York City for: a best of breed championship.

While the event is far from over and many more championships are going to be earned, let’s take a look at the dogs who have already won the elite best of breed awards.

These are common dogs used in hunting, as well as on the racetracks. In addition to having an extremely keen sense of smell, these are some of the fastest animals that you will ever see.

National Dog Show

National Dog Show, An impressive Wire Fox Terrier, Eira, has been crowned champion at the 10th annual National Dog Show Presented by Purina.

Eira is a four-year-old Wire Fox Terrier hailing from California. She has a strong pedigree, and is a member of a family tree of other highly ranked Wire Fox Terriers. The win in Philadelphia gave Eira her 17th Best In Show award.

The road to Best in Show at the National Dog Show was not easy; Eira bested the almost 1,500 dogs who participated in this year’s show. She won the Terrier Group, and as a finalist outperformed the English Springer Spaniel, the Affenpinscher, the Australian Shepherd, the Dalmatian, the Bernese Mountain Dog and the Whippet.

In a couple of months, Eira will look to become only the third show dog to win both the National Dog Show and the famed Westminster Kennel Club show in the same year.

Two year’s ago her handler, Gabriel Rangel, made that very achievement with Sadie, the Scottish Terrier. “[Eira] looks beautiful and she moves beautifully,” he says.

As impressive as Eira is, she was also joined by an equally impressive batch of group winners.
