The 2025 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, the second-oldest continuously held sporting event in the United States, came to a close Tuesday with Monty the Giant Schnauzer being crowned Best in Show!
Dogs competed against others in their designated group on Monday and Tuesday, being evaluated based on a detailed standard which outlines the ideal characteristics in various areas (height, weight, coat type, colors, eye shape and color, ear shape, feet, tail and more). The top 201 dogs, recognized as Best of Breed, advanced to the Best in Group competitions. From there, the seven top dogs competed against one another for the prestigious Best in Show title.
Things began at Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York before heading to Madison Square Garden, where one dog was selected to represent the Hound, Toy, Non-Sporting, Herding, Sporting, Working and Terrier Groups.
