Westminster Dog Show 2022

Live commentary, analysis and photos from Wednesday's group finals and the Best in Show judging from Lyndhurst.

A Spanish-language version of the broadcast will air on Fox Deportes at 6 p.m. on Thursday. Originally bred in Hungary, the mudi has a three-inch wavy-to-curly coat and was used to herd “the most stubborn livestock,” according to the kennel club. The mudi is a new entry in the herding group. You have come to the right place! That group has won 47 Best in Show prizes, far ahead of the second-placed sporting group with 18. The seven group winners then vie for the big prize: Best in Show, which will be judged by Don Sturz of Brooklyn. The decision is his and his alone. The wire fox terrier has the most wins of any breed with 15. Fans of HBO’s “The Gilded Age” may recognize parts of the estate, as it served as a filming location for the show’s first season. Here, for example, is Trumpet the bloodhound, winner of the hound group. So he has been studying, mostly by looking at endless pictures of dogs in books and magazines and online, to cement in his head a template of each breed, a sort of Platonic ideal. “It comes down to the dog that possesses the most virtues as described for their breed,” Sturz said. Sadly, dogs who lose in the early rounds at Westminster have no place else to go but home.

Hollywood the Maltese also demonstrated what perfection looks like on a toy pooch. Winston’s cute steps across the floor to showcase his stature was met with enthusiastic cheers from onlookers and even more once he was named winner. “She has beautiful hair texture,” her handler, Tim Lehman, said.

Bloodhounds are independent, inquisitive and friendly large scent hounds originally bred for hunting deer and wild boar. Their origin goes back to working on different terrains in England, Ireland, and Scotland.

The dog bested the competition at the 146th Westminster Kennel Club dog show in Tarrytown, New York.

It was a second Westminster win for Crank, who previously won agility with her border collie P!nk in 2020. The dog is co-owned by Chris and Bryan Flessner and Tina Kocar. Last year’s best in show went to Wasabi, a Pekingese who won the toy group. Striker, a Samoyed from Toronto, won the working group for the second year in a row Wednesday. Winston, a 3-year-old French bulldog from Bixby, Oklahoma who was ranked No. 1 dog in the country going into Westminster, won reserve best in show. Trumpet’s victory sounded a clarion call of sorts for his breed Wednesday — the dog made history with his best in show win.

Trumpet becomes the first bloodhound to win the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, securing victory for 'Best in Show' at the New York-based competition.

"I was shocked and excited all at the same time," Helmer said. "It's about collecting and maintaining that scent when he's trailing, so it's a very important aspect to the breed, and the judge was looking for that last night." "The wrinkling on the head in the face is very important and thoughtful…

The year 2022 was a peculiar year for the Westminster Dog Show, the second oldest sporting event in American history. Trumpet is part of a winning legacy; his father, Nathan, won the hound group in 2014. Despite Trumpet’s legacy status, his competition was stiff.

Everything about this year's competition was a little unusual, including the setting, the timing and the winner. But that made the whole event feel special.
