Westminister Kennel Club dog show

Post by Blackstar the Chakat »

A beagle won for the first time
The 2008 Westminster Kennel Club dog show at New York's Madison Square Garden is history. And the winner made headlines in a lot of ways. Uno, a 3-year-old beagle, was selected best in show, the first time this breed has ever been chosen top dog. With his victory, Uno single-handedly did more for the popularity of the beagle breed than anyone could have done in months, even years. His face popped up on television screens around the country, and so did his voice. That's right, Uno bellowed his call everywhere as he trotted around the ring, winning the adoration of millions for his high-spirited personality. Uno's howl and the roar of the crowd proved to the judge that he had chosen the right dog as this year's best.

And a 15-inch beagle at that; from what I remember, 13-inch beagles usually show better.

Me too. My first dog was a 13-inch beagle. Love 'em to death, but they are the stubbornest damn things around.

How have beagles, harriers, or foxhounds fared historically at Crofts?
