NEW YORK — A miniature poodle named Sage won the top prize at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show Tuesday night.
In all, more than 2,500 dogs spanning about 200 breeds and varieties entered the show. They’re judged according to which one best matches the “standard,” or ideal, for its breed.NEW YORK — If every dog must have its day, one champion canine is about to have its year. Or would a wise bet be Sage the miniature poodle or Mercedes the German shepherd, both guided by handlers who have won the big prize before?
In an event where all competitors are champions in the sport's point system, winning can depend on subtleties and a standout turn in the ring. So “spirited” that while Bernardin was pregnant, she did obedience and other dog sports with Monty because he needed the stimulation. Westminster can feel like a study in canine contrasts. Just walking around, a visitor could see a Chihuahua peering out of a carrying bag at a stocky Neapolitan mastiff, a ring full of honey-colored golden retrievers beside a lineup of stark-black giant schnauzers, and handlers with dogs far larger than themselves.
