Nathan licked pretty much everybody possible, including NBC's Mary Carillo. He had won Best in Group at the Westminster Dog Show, but hadn't taken the top prize. He's a rare winner from the popular breed, as the bloodhound had never won at the National Dog Show and still has yet to win in the 100-plus years of Westminster.
The winners of each group were:
Hound group: Bloodhound
Herding group: Bearded collie
Working group: Samoyed
Terrier group: Smooth fox terrier
Toy group: Affenpinscher
Sporting group: Gordon setter
Non-sporting breeds: French bulldog
For the most part the dog show went off without a hitch ... except for the one part where a miniature pinscher got away from its handler and made a run for it. We've never seen that one before, and the handler did not exactly handle it well. FOLLOW US!
