Westminster 2016: Best in Show Winner

GSP

The moment we’ve all been waiting for! The 2016 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show Best in Show is…drum roll please…

The German Shorthaired Pointer, CJ!

(You’ll have to imagine the trumpet fanfare in your own head.)

Reserve Best in Show goes to the Borzoi, Lucy, who will fulfill the duties of the winner should the need arise.

Thanks for joining doggies.com for all the highlights of this year’s show.

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Best moment of the show so far: the Leonberger figured out very quickly that his snacks were in the handler’s coat pocket, and he kept trying to get to them – through the cloth – the whole time he was running around the ring!
