Way to go, Sage! The 3-year-old pooch from Houston bested six other breeds to win the top honor.
Jennifer Peltz, Associated PressA 3-year-old miniature poodle from Houston, Texas, named Sage won the top prize Tuesday night at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show, in what veteran handler Kaz Hosaka said would be his final time at the United States' most prestigious canine event. After 45 years of competing and two best-in-show dogs, he plans to retire.
Striding briskly and proudly around the ring, the inky-black poodle "gave a great performance for me," Hosaka added. While Sage was going around the ring, a protester carrying a sign urging people to "boycott breeders" tried to climb in and was quickly intercepted by security personnel. Police and the animal rights group PETA said three demonstrators were arrested. Charges have not yet been decided.
So spirited that while Bernardin was pregnant, she did obedience and other dog sports with Monty because he needed the stimulation. Other dogs that vied in vain for a spot in the finals included Stache, a Sealyham terrier. He won the National Dog Show that was televised on Thanksgiving and took top prize at a big terrier show in Pennsylvania last fall."They're a little-known treasure," said Stache's co-owner, co-breeder and handler, Margery Good of Cochranville, Pennsylvania, who has bred "Sealys" for half a century.
