What breed won Best in Show at the 2010 Westminster Kennel Club dog show?”
The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is a two-day benched conformation show that takes place at Madison Square Garden in New York City every year. The first Westminster show was held in 1877. Dog owners from around the world come to show their dogs. Dogs are judged closely by eminent American Kennel Club (AKC) judges. The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is judging more than 2500 dogs from over 150 breeds. It is considered by many to be America’s most prestigious dog show. After the Crufts international show held annually in the UK, the Westminster Kennel Club show is considered one of the largest and most prestigious in the world.
The famed kennel club’s prestigious Best in Show title went to the 4-year-old Scottish terrier Tuesday, who celebrated by jumping up on her hind legs, enthusiastically pawing at her handler’s knees. “When it gets down to the end with seven great dogs in the ring it gets down into charisma, showmanship,” Westminster co-host David Frei told “Good Morning America” today. Sadie — formally known as Ch. Roundtown Mercedes of Maryscot — faced tough competition this year, beating out Chanel the whippet, and C.J., the sprightly Doberman who won the working group earlier in the night. She is now the first dog to win Westminster, the National Dog Show and the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship.
